JS Monstabox - impeccable beach-break vehicle. If you can try one where you are.
I just watched several Stretch vids and it's definitely not for me. I couldn't find many vids showing guys taking off. I didn't see much solid railwork. Dane's Stab in the Dark vid on the Stretch board did not look like his best surfing compared to the other boards he rode or compared to his CI boards in similar waves at home. The interview of Stretch saying "Think outside the box" translates into "order more boards" to someone like me. I don't think he's trying to scam anyone I just don't respond well to this marketing
Glad you've found your thing though.
Even though I like my Superbuzz, I feel it does neither of those things particularly well. lol.
Never considered it. What model are we talking about? Checked their website and felt a little lost.
WHat about this one?
Dane like many other pro surfers could surf a door and do it with more style then most ride daily driver. CI's are user friendly boards mass produced global for pro's and joes where stretch is or least for me all about quads and high performance. High performance has many meanings to most but for me its getting the most out of what my local spots offer and Stretch well make a custom that last long super durable (eps/epoxy CFT) and works perfect at my local spots. CI was founded and still tested at my home spots "805 queen" and work well at points or softer spots tested but mass produced and light glass jobs in pu. I surf beach breaks and reefs 99.9% time and want some thing last.
Dane and CI team riders (and Robert's) surf tons of beach break. I'm not going to name spots, but there are tons of beach breaks all over SB and VTA counties.
I was trying to compare Dane to Dane on Stretch vs. CI.
My friend has an old Stretch and seems to surf really well on it and like it. It's a standard thruster though with a wider outline.
Other then stabs in the dark I have never seen Dane on a stretch but plenty on CI team pro after all. CI work in many conditions that was my point very user friendly boards for the masses not specific strong spots more better then average for most but my biggest hang up is price and quality of build. For a little more I get high quality hand shaped build, specific for me, and custom fins
Many folks like stretch thrusters and also like single v bottom but for me the best is his quads with a ingle v nose to double out tail and all my stretch boards are quads.

Nah, I'm intermediate at best. measly half assed cutbacks, totally non vertical whips and maybe float a section or two ispretty much what I can do. don't think I can float a section backside, but turns, yes.WHat about this one?
Just widen and thicken it. Can you get them on the phone? You sound like you're an above-average surfer but not advanced/expert.
I'm getting more and more interested on the V3 Stealth, and it's the only board I can actually give a try. I'll give it a go this Saturday if it all goes well and everything will depend on that.
That thing has a shitload of rocker - try to test it somewhere you can get a good feel for the wave entry and flat spot crossing test.

Yup, it will be on my "local". usually has a biggish drop, good first section for a turn then it completely boggles down and you have a lot of flat to go through if you wish to connect to the inside
Won't be big either (at all), so it will be good to check the lower end.
Haydenshapes Loot is a really versatile one. Easy to surf. Handles a wide range of sizes and conditions. Not a groveler but will slay some mushy runners as long as there is some push. Handles steep drops and tubes too.
Not a fan of the quad placement so I only liked it as a thruster.
CI Ultra Joe looks like a similar style of board but I haven't tried one. I want to though.
