Shoots I forgot the Dims on that thing. I know Dave modeled it after a Bruce Irons model Stretch made for him. Kids got a selection of fins and not sure what he's running. I do know he does ride it as a quad and try depending on conditions.
Sorry dont have much info
You are reading my mind. I have had two SB's and even a 6'5 2x4 that I used as a step up (wish I kept it). I am addicted to the Mr Buzz. I am riding it from knee high to almost double overhead. It feels like I'm being shot out of a cannon and my brain can't even keep up, then I go to the most critical part of the wave and do an out of control turn, some how pull it and go flying to the next section. It is wild. I keep pushing it on how late I can do a turn and still pull it. It's addicting. I'm also popping these little straight airs off the inside reef rip bowl at the end of my waves that is so fun.
Part of me wants to stretch it out and get a Buzzsaw, but majority of me wants to just order another MrBuzz that is slightly beefed up cause it's all I want to ride. I think the traditional look of a Buzzsaw is actually a deterrent for me - I want that tiny board MrBuzz feel and look.
Thank you for the feedback, based on what you said you are confirming my thought of getting a second MrBuzz. I will probably sell this 5.3 because it's tiny. Stretch's handwriting is hard to read but I'm pretty sure it's a 2.2" not a 2.3" like I thought. Dylan told me mine is probably 29.06 liters - which isn't crazy for me at 6'1 and 185-190, but if I could bump it up to 30.5ish, I think this would be a killer all arounder. I have a Super Fling for tiny waves and I have two pyzel ghosts for anything overhead.

6'5 Stretch 2x4 in legacy construction at Backdoor. Wish I kept it.
Race, sounds like you know what you want. Your assessment corresponds to mine on the Buzz series. I don't drink liquor, but like wine and beer due to more moderate taste and the larger margin of error so I loose not my control or mind. But I like my Buzzes the other way. The Buzz Series 2x4 and Buzzsaw are wine and beer, easier to drink, not as strong tasting, but they have the sauce in them but not too strong for fear of what will happen. The Mr. Buzz is straight liquor. All the buzz of the others and then some in small, potent package. The sauce is amplified and the others Buzzes don't do the same thing. Maybe Mr. Buzz was named for more than Nathan's dog.I think you like the liquor version of the Buzz bottom.
I bought Dylan's custom Mr. Buzz. It is beautiful. 5'5 x 19.5 x 2.3 Sk8 deck with a custom foam stain. It is label 30.7 L and it surfs and paddles more than that. At your height these dims would be even easier for you to throw around. I'm 5'10 and love the 5'5.
Moderation in all things is a proverb I live by. I have taken in all the moderate versions in the following order - 2x4 and Buzzsaw; then G-Buzz, and SuperBuzz - to get down to the last option, Mr. Buzz. For me it is the best yet.
I really like the dims on mine.

Hey Buzzards! Stocked to be back on the Buzz train. Sold my custom, which was a Super about 4 years ago and a buddy just kicked me down some type of custom. No logo, but looks to be a Superish?
Anyways what fins are you guys using these days? Board has Future boxes. Had a set of FU Buzztrolers I unfortunately off'ed. It looks like they are sold out. Also had luck with SA quads, not sure you can get those anymore as well? Also if anyone is looking to off a set, hit me up. Thanks!

It's very addicting, how far you can push it and whip it around. I don't want to ride anything else. Even if it's small, I'd still rather make it work. It forces you to stay in the pocket on all your turns and go top to bottom. Sometimes I'll black out and do 5 snaps in a row really close together. I'm actually enjoying working harder to catch waves, maybe I won't reorder a slightly bigger one. I can't wait to surf it in some clean spring waves on the North Shore in the next couple months.
I used merrick large THRUSTER on my superbuzzes and liked them, but don't currently have a superbuzz.
Haha. I haven't ridden my fling since I got it, but I would never sell my fling. I am thinking that I should be riding a 5'4 Fling instead of a 5'6 though.
I don't think you need to go too wide with these cause it's so straight.
I'm 6'1 also 185 pounds and on a 5'3 x 19.25" x 2.2" SK8 deck 29 liters. Feels good to me. I emailed Dylan about reordering a beefier one and he suggested 5'3 x 19.5" x 2.3 SK8 deck at 30.5 liters or 2.25" SK8 deck at 30 liters.
Exploring the lower limits of the MrBuzz on the inside.
A couple days think my last a month ago actually took 5 Dylan is a little slower then past shop ratz....
I'm waiting on an email from Dylan, it's been a week since I sent mine.
I'm currently going to order a 5'4" x 19.75" x 2.25" SK8 Deck Mr Buzz with a round tail or swallowtail. Trying to finalize order.
