Yes, pretty easy.to duck dive.

The sweet potato was probably the best groveler but nothing beats a bigger board (mid length) in soft, mushy surf. Depending on your height and weight. The 6'4 sweet potato rips like a short board but the 7'2 Walden Mega, 7'4 Scorpion and the 8'0 Aipa Big Brother Sting will catch the most waves.👍

Love it! Catches anything.

Fast!

👍

We are about the same size so I would go with the 6"10. I have no problem duck diving it and it is plenty maneuverable. Good luck!

Thanks heaps. Also, how does it go in large waves (head high or bit bigger)? Is it best in knee to waist?

@@gregoryhalls6626 Waist to head high is best for this board.

Walden 7'2 Mega Magic is my go to for knee to chest high waves. Anything head high and up I will go with the Greedy Beaver or the 7'4 Takayama Scorpion.

@@surfboarddemos Thanks for the board info. I'm starting to experiment with longer boards and it's opened up a whole new surf style for me. I'll have to check out the Mega Magic. I recognize your surfing background. I surf in the same spots so hopefully I'll see you out in the line up one day.

@@chrisa2827 👍

That's just my style. I trim to make sections on longer boards opposed to gyrating, so I move my feet closer to the nose. The Beaver has more pivot because of the tail and fin selection. The Sunday is more faster down the line. Hope that helps.

@@surfboarddemos Thanks a lot. Yeah, I prefer trimming on longer boards as well and wondered if the GB could do it well but you've shown it does. I appreciate your feedback - keep up the great content.

@@ChristianDarby-e8u 👍

Good board to learn on. The 8'0 Mega Magic would be an even better choice for a beginner.

Thank you my friend.👍

Hard to compare as the CJ at 10 feet has more volume than the ITP's that I have demoed. The CJ has more of a domed deck and a little more rocker than the ITP Also the tails are different.👍

Futures Mayhem Evil Twins👍

@@surfboarddemos nice. I made the mistake of using a trailer when I threw those in mine. The Sunday really doesn’t love a 2+1 with that tail and all that vee, yet it works as a single. Loved it with the big Merrick keels. Gracias.

@@biff022 I thought it rode fine with 2+1. Just faster as a twin ua-cam.com/video/fuwkcQBfJvg/v-deo.html

@@surfboarddemos gotcha. I meant as a twin plus one it defeated the purpose of the twin. Probably just a feel vs expectation thing because I’m sure that center plus bites would work.

@@biff022 👍

Volcanic Repreve Lamination As the world's leading recycled fiber made from ocean-bound plastic bottles, Repreve is a sustainable innovation enabling Firewire to build strength and flex control into each Volcanic shape while simultaneously preventing plastic bottles from entering our ocean playground.

@@surfboarddemos Thank you. I meant from surfer’s point of view(look&feel, weight, flex, speed…etc) but thanks anyway.

@@stevenyao8660 Never ridden a regular Greedy Beaver volcanic, so can't compare.

ua-cam.com/video/nsnrCnN1yAM/v-deo.html. 👍

6ft. 195 lbs as stated. Thanks

@@surfboarddemoscheers, missed that info

@@J0llygiant 👍

@@surfboarddemosone other question, how do you know the volume on this as christenson doesn’t say what volume his boards are.

@@J0llygiant I use a volume calculator to estimate.nulltuul.com/surfboard-volume-calculator

Yes, log instead of HP 👍

If you are strongly looking for a performance groveler, I'd recommend the 6'4 sweet potato based on your weight, height, waves surfed and wetsuit thickness. Having said that, I'd also consider the 7'4 Takayama Scorpion (see my video demo). Same volume as the 6'4 Sweet Potato but more proportional and a surprisingly great all rounder. Best of luck!

@@surfboarddemos Great, thanks for replying! I'll look into the Takayama, I appreciate the advice!

@@johnnyk00l 👍

I'd recommend the 7'2 Walden Mega Magic if you want to go toe to toe with lonboarders. Check my video demos of it. Thanks

I'm using an FCS II Christenson 8" Longboard Single Fin (pictured at the beginning of the video). I've also ridden this board as a 2+1 with a 7" Modern fin and 2 Takayama 4.5" side bites. I prefer it with the Christenson single fin. Looser and faster.

Haven't ridden a TT Greedy yet. Hopefully I'll get a chance soon.👍

Thanks for fast response. I'd be interested to see if there is any difference in performance. Also unsure whether to get 6'8" or 6'10". I'm about 85kg and 5'11" so pretty average size. I'm definitely intermediate as a surfer. No worries if you don't know how to answer that. Thanks in advance

@@MatthewBeames Based on your size and ability, I'd recommend the 6'10.

​@@MatthewBeames Hi there, just chiming in. I have a TT GB 6'8" and I quite like it actually. I'm 83kg and have surfed all my life, but I'm just average unless I'm surfing all the time. That said, I also have a CI Mid Twin 6'11" that I feel is a little better, but begin poly, it may not last as long. The GB floats more as well.

​@@FoilWays thanks mate always good to get another opinion. I'm like you, average surfer for sure unless I'm surfing all the time. I just bought a 6'8 TT greedy beaver last week and so far love it! They didn't have any 6'10s in stock so I went for 6'8 . So far so good

It's close but I'd say the Sunday, only because it is longer with more volume.

Thanks for the info

@@Phillipknott Sure, no problem.

7 inch Modern center fin and two 4.5 inch Takayama side bites pictured at the beginning of the video clip.👍

Where are you surfing at?

@@derektsuji9520 Jacksonville, Fl

@@surfboarddemos Thanks. Waves look fun. I’ve been there the two times I’ve visited my gf who’s from Orlando. Have yet to surf in FL though. I know a guy who makes boards in Jax. Mystic Surfboards by Jim Dunlop. A one man operation. Makes nice stuff and a super cool guy. I left a board at my gf’s place so hopefully will get to surf out there next visit.

@@derektsuji9520 👍

Ridden with Futures Large Legacy Neutral Template thruster fins as stated. Going to try it with Mayhem twins next.👍

@@surfboarddemos let me know which ones you liked more

@@Cif-ng3gs Just finished my 2nd session riding it as a twin and although it was more loose and skatey, I prefer it as a thruster.

I've had two Greedy Beavers and I have always preferred them as thrusters. The tail is a tight pin the thruster allows for better rotation on wave face. All the volume up front gives it all the drive it needs. I rode mine as a quad a few times and felt that this setup choked of a lot of performance.

@@Phillipknott👍

I have not.

I used a 7'0 board sock.

Seaside!

Try a Firewire Sweet Potato or a Takayama Scorpion. I have videos of both. Cheers!

@surfboarddemos ty sir! Which size of the weet potato you recomend?

@@rengo3390Depends on your height, weight and waves surfed.

I'd choose the Mega 7'2 over the ITP8 because it is a bit quicker, has a little more volume and turns better. I'd choose the ITP8 over the Mega Magic 8 as it is more loose and trims much better. Thanks

Seaside!

It's the lowest volume board I own. Very loose and skatey. All surfboard volume should be based on age, height, weight, wave conditions and surfing style.

@@surfboarddemos right on 🤙🏼 I am a huge fan of the twice baked. Might have to give the seaside another go. At a higher volume!

@@akinsl45 I also have demos up of the sweet potato. Now that board has tons of volume.👍

Ridden with Futures Large Legacy Neutral Template quad fins, pictured at the beginning of the video clip.👍

Two completely different boards. The Walden has 12 more liters of volume than the Greedy Beaver. Waist high and up, I'll take this board. Waist high and below, the Walden.

Have you tried the firewire addvance. If you your thoughts on this board vs greedy beaver and walden ​@@surfboarddemos

Thanks, yes it's quick.

Thanks buddy, see you soon!

😂

Thanks buddy. This was today. (Groundhog Day)

What is your height, weight and age?

Iam 45 years family guy, with 70 kgs and 1,70 mt. And I was thinking to buy the Evo 6.0 (44 lts) to surf only in weekends from 2 to 5 fts. Thank you again for your time, Best regards

I'd go with the 5'10 or 6'0 Evo. Have you considered the Takayama Scorpion 2 or Firewire Greedy Beaver? Very fun boards and super easy to catch waves.

Thank you, I have considered that models too, however, I like small boards, where the feet are always in right spot and it’s more easier to turn. So with your experience the 6.0 Evo does not feel corky and a boat? Thank you so much for sharing your experience and time

I've never ridden the 6'0 Evo. I ride the 6'2 Evo and I am taller and heavier than you are, so you need to figure that in as well. I would go with the 5'10 if I were you.

Yup👍

The Evo. It is faster.👍

I haven't tried the Double-Wide but I'd be hard pressed to think that Modern Surfboards would make a better big boy board than Steve Walden. I also have demos up of the Walden 8'0 Mega Magic and the NSP Double-Up. The Megas are my choice. Best of luck!

@@surfboarddemosthank you for the reply! I picked up a near mint 7’2” mega magic for very cheap - just one small ding on the rail to repair. Took it in today and hope to get it out this weekend in Ventura. Stoked!

@@BuffGator Sweet!

Yes, I think it would make a great daily driver as it is not a true groveler like the sweet potato. ✌

Thank you and a happy new year!!

👍

A terrible small wave board? Never heard that one before. As far as the Sunday being a longboard alternative, I'd recommend the Takayama Scorpion instead. Trims and nose rides better.

@@surfboarddemos yeah, several people told me it needs a bigger open face to shine and is kinda lacking as a smaller wave board or longboard alternative for when the swell is small... You disagree ? whats your opinion on 7'0 and 7'3 for that purpose ? im 5'11, 180 lbs, my small wave range is covered by my one of my longboards but i cant really carry it around when i travel haha ^^ the takayama seems great, but slightly too big for me for travel unfortunately.

@@KC-ro9ro I recommended the Takayama Scorpion because it has a very similar template to a longboard. The Sunday is a completely different shape than a longboard, so having trouble understanding your considering it for a longboard alternative. The Sunday excels in 2 to 6ft surf (check my other 2 videos posted). That being said, if you are looking for a longboard style ride, the Scorpion is the way to go. The 7'4 Scorpion has the same amount of volume as the 7'3 Sunday. The Scorpion 2 Surf Tech sizes are 5'10, 6'4, 6'10 and 7'4.

@@surfboarddemos my bad yeah, when i mean longboard alternative, i mean more in the wave range of those "small wave longboards". Something that would go well in longboard spots, does not need to surf like a longboard. Was debating between the 7'0 and 7'3 for that, but theres so few actual ride infos on that board (youre probably the most detailed actually) and the few opinions i saw said its not a good board to fill your quiver in the small wave range

@@KC-ro9ro Firewire Sweet Potato! Videos posted.👍
