I think she did better / more explosive turns on the BQ than Plasmic, but overall her form and full waves looked better on Plasmic.

and yes agree BQ looked to big and front heavy for her. Makes me think I should order a tiny ass BQ like a 5’4.

i actually think she looked pretty good on the BQ but was definitely working hard to overcome the width and strait outline.

17" wide Plasmic vs 18.75" wide BQ...

Yeah would have loved to see her on a 4’8 x 17 something

ive passed Coco a few times on the beach before/after surf and she is tiny 5’2 at most

Haven’t seen the Plasmic clip but Coco was straight ripping the Bobby Quad, looking way better than her surfing on tour

We need someone to save the clips and post them like @ReForest does with those old Tomo vids
You guys should... not everyone has access to the Stab premium. I'd really interested in seeing what you guys are talking about, but dont want to give Stab my money. :cursing:

I love the white board on the white background of their site. Makes it really easy to see the outline of the board.

Wheres the line between ripoff and ”inspired by”...and is any form of inspired by ok in the shaping world? Serious question, not trying to be a smart@$$.

I’m a huge stretch fan boy, with 4 currently in the quiver. But didn’t Bobby first ride the Mr Buzz like 6 or 7 years ago? If they’ve been tweaking it for that long, and the last year and a half Yadin and the rest of the team has also been tweaking it, I think we’re out of ripoff territory. To me ripoff is when Roberts dropped the White Diamond and everyone else had a replica in their line within 4 months.

Yes ie dumpster diver but really I am kidding and don't care because a lot of times designs get improved 2nd time. Side note not sure how long but pretty sure less the 6-7 years booby tried out a superbuzz and buzzsaw :shaka: go back in thread for pic
