I did a thing....
Stumbled across the "your weight divided by 6 thread" the other day and realized that at 195lbs I probably shouldn't be riding 31-32l anymore - especially since I surf with a lot of rubber during winter time. Brought a few anorexic boards to the shop to trade in and put an order in for some chubbies:
Astro Glider Twin 5’7 x 20 5/8 x 2 5/8 with 34.8l
Pyzel Precious 5’11 x 19 3/4 x 2 7/16 with 33.9l

This is a sick order brother. The astro is soooo fuken good. And the precious looks precious. Get a swallow tail on it and show us the pics.
Yeah I was debating that but went with squash in the end. Can't wait to see what the deck feels like underfoot, the rest of the design elements should be a safe bet.
Have been on a quest to find a fish I really like, hoping the astro finally gets the job done. What fins do you like in your astro, keels vs uprights?
I have both christenson sets of fins from captain fins, upright and keels, which are discontinued i think. I love both. Uprights 80% of the times, keels when the waves are fast open canvas. I dont even bother trying something else, it just works amazingly this way.
you're gonna be stoked!! grom is seriously feeling it on the precious, it has insane drive off the bottom up into the lip he's blazing off the top on it
He preferring it as a quad or thruster?you're gonna be stoked!! grom is seriously feeling it on the precious, it has insane drive off the bottom up into the lip he's blazing off the top on it
only had one session as a thruster but the waves were kind of gacky that session so can't really comment solidly on it,
5+ sessions as quad and i've been really impressed with what i'm seeing particularly backhand, got more waves coming later in the week so will make him go thruster for the erbb.
Oh fo sho. Its a good looking board. Stock dims a little stubby but not too bad.
Just seems like overlap city with my Bomdia.
You’re being rational….that’s not how we do things here
I dunno. Maybe you're right but I didnt find the Gremlin to have super great low end and this is an even more tuned version. Gremlin wanted a little push or steepness to come alive for me. Its been a long time since I had that board so its possible my memory isnt accurate but I do remember expecting the board to grovel better than it did. Bomdia isnt a groveler either but it works in everything once there is a little push.
Ok.fair enough. My gremlin is swallowtail in oeste dims making it stubbier, fishier, and gravels pretty well for me in soft /mushy waves.
having ridden neither, Precious looks like it'd have similar range to BomDia to me
Precious definitely looks more tuned/hp than Gremmy

I think the concave deck is one of the most underrated designs in surfing.
