Is a little “fatter” than my previous ones. With the skate deck...

I sold my quad fish to my best friend and he rides that thing a ton but he definitely pushes the limits when it's bigger. He wants something with similar feel but a little narrower tail for some tighter shreds. Super Buzz is probably the call I reckon if his cheap azz can swing it.Is 5'5"x19.75x2.1 VOl.28.5. kinda weird because my old 5'4x19.5x2.5 was supposed to be 28.5 also. Maybe it was more like 27, but this one def. feels like it has more foam. I guess it's that sk8 deck.
The deck on this one reminds me of stretch's fish, minus the beak. I used my quad fish to size this one, and i did mentioned how much i liked it. So I basically tried to base this board off of my quad fish if that not off my superbuzz.
did u try your new super racer? you must be going fast as hell. much downside to having that much more volume? i remember you saying you prefer it as a thruster, right.
i really like my quad fish (more than the old superbuzz), but I know i have my limits when is a little steeper. For example, the other day was kinda wedgy, thumping in the shore break, very fun, don't get me wrong. But I couldn't whip that board around fast enough and, i dunno i just felt like a similar, but more performance shape would have been really fun as well. So that's my intention with this one.
the guy i sold my 2nd superbuzz to, got a quadfish and he doesn’t ride the superbuzz anymore. And he begged me to sell it to him.

So do you reckon the quadfish and superbuzz have similar range, just a different feel? Quadfish definitely handles good size but it starts track and does't want to stay in the pocket quite as well once the waves get a bit bigger like a solid head high+. I have yet to see a Superbuzz in person.the guy i sold my 2nd superbuzz to, got a quadfish and he doesn’t ride the superbuzz anymore. And he begged me to sell it to him. That one was very nice @5’5.

cheers bud. I think the quadfish is very versatile especially for waves on the softer side. I didn't fully click with mine but my buddy who bought it off me rides it all the time and is rarely disappointed.I forgot to add. I’m almost 40. I just surf a beachbreak that seldom gets any good. Is soft and mushy most of the time. I have my moments once in a while and i’d like to have one of those in the superbuzz. But you cant beat the quadfish for the conditions i get most of the time.
Gbuzz grovels and even surfs good up to head high if ya don't like fishy shapes.In my experience, quadfish is a performance fish more so than other brands quadfishes. Superbuzz has a more refined foil and i think it can handle a lot of juice. Especially the tail area is thicker on the quadfish.
They also have different rockers. AND then theres the buzz concaves...pffiiuu
Yes the super is more a performance board that i’d love to be able to surf to its limits.
Agree with superbuzz review 100% takes time getting use to loves good waves.IMO super buzz has WAY less range than quadfish in terms of wave types and sizes, despite looking relatively similar
i had a super buzz (since sold) and have a 2win fish that's magic. super buzz was RAD in waves with curve but didn't grovel/like flat waves and also didn't have much upper range. i feel like it occupies the same place in the quiver as a shortboard just with totally different look/feel. was also kinda finicky to surf -- I did a couple turns that felt really good on that board and a lot of ones that were weird
quadfish is way easier to surf and works in a wider variety of wave types
if i lived somewhere with good surf (like hawaii) i would definitely get a super buzz or mr buzz again
Thanks for the input, that's what I was thinking... I was considering going custom and ordering even smaller, but I don't live in Hawaii so for CA waves I doubt I'd need/want to go smaller than the 5'6. May be time to finally suck it up and spend $900 to try out a stretch. I'll blame quarantineI was looking at those two stock ones on the website, I'm 6'1 185 and would do the 5'6. While I don't think the 5'7 would be a boat or be too bulky, the extra liter doesn't seem necessary.
Adding to the agreement with this. I can't seem to let go of mine still, though. Kinda magic in the right waves...IMO super buzz has WAY less range than quadfish in terms of wave types and sizes, despite looking relatively similar
