Every year, we gather info from our sessions, listen to feedback from surfers of all levels, and dig into what’s been buzzing in the lineup. This year, we shifted the focus from pure sales stats to the boards that really stoke our customers once they’ve ridden them.
There are some boards that would feature every year until the planet self-combusts! The likes of the Firewire Seaside, Phipps OBE, FORM Flow Stik, Channel Islands Mid and Lost Puddle Jumper never seem to fade away, they are such good boards… they just keep selling.
10. Channel Islands Febs Fish
Released in December but sneaks in because it’s so damn good.
9. Pyzel Ghost
The best step-up hands down, seen a huge increase in popularity again this year.
8. Thunderbolt Harley Ingleby Mini Moe
This construction is exceptional and combined with HI’s shapes it sets new standards for the ‘mini mid length’.
7. Channel Islands Mid Twin
Drawing all the good things from the CI Mid this Twin version is best in class.
6. Firewire Machadocado
Fastest selling board of the year. Was in and out in a couple of weeks, more coming early in the new year.
5. Dark Arts x Tomo Evo Remastered
Tomo genius in a stunning construction, faster and more fun than ever.
4. Channel Islands Happy Everyday
Still the easiest ‘shortboard’ to surf and push your surfing forward.
3. Form Surfboards Mod Pro
Our favourite, such a good board for the UK, does it all.
2. Lost Surfboards RNF 96
2023’s winner and still hugely popular, the Black Sheep construction gave it a new lease of life.
1. LoveMachine FM
It’s been the year of the FM… March Madness, Board Awards, Staff Favourite. There could only be one winner. Some super exciting things coming from Ryan Lovelace very soon too.
We can already hear people shouting “what about this board or that board” … it’s not really that important, it’s just a bit of fun and maybe a guide for anyone looking for a new stick. We get sent new boards to try all the time, but we only choose the ones we think will work for our customers and represent good value.
If there’s a brand or board model out there that you think we should check out, let us know!
If its good enough for John John .. its probably too good for me!
Haha you'd be surprised! There's a reason it's so popular... or there's always the Phantom and Gremlin
rearly easy to surf, very stable, wide sweet spot, forgiving. Easy to catch waves because of the volume and the low rocker.
@@BoardshopUK What's your take on the Gremlin vs White Tiger vs let's say a Sweet Potato for groveler type boards?
All good options, also depends where you're located/ tend to surf most of the time. The Gremlin is a cracking groveler, all the good things you'd expect from a board in this genre , the WT is a little more stepped up in our opinion, more pulled in tail profile to allow the surfer to really push through turns and give a little more hold in the better waves. The SP on the other hand is probably the most relaxed and skate like in its approach and has the smallest wave range, this board is best ridden SHORT so you can maximize its capabilities. But to round it off , the WT would to everything for you .
Fact ...
Next time someone says money doenst buy happinees im showing them this video
Just copped a 6’6” FM. Freakin goes insane down in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 watch your reviews a few times then pulled the trigger. Thanks 🙏🏼
Yewww stoked you love the board! It's an absolute rocket , would love to see some pics of it in action 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have the lost RNF redux, I always wonder how it compares to the RNF96. It's getting harder and harder to keep up with all the different board model variations 😂
I also have the redux!!!!
And would love to know how it compares to the RNF 96!!!! 😅
Thanks , would it be possible to show the bottom deck of the Ryan Lovelace FM model ..

That's my quiver for next year ! Send it to the usual address please :)
Will do! And the bill 😉
What about the Puka's Lady Twin?
Another great board , sleek, classy and heaps of fun to surf, just didn't make the cut :(
How does then find m23 rate? I’ve been thinking of grabbing one, cheers
The M23 is a cracking board and has been a favorite this year we must admit, easy going board which paddles and gets you into waves like a mid length should, but really performs and comes alive when you're up and running. Really versatile board and great for travel!
@ that’s awesome, thanks
Where is the channel island gskate ????😢ok for happy everiday,but no Donald takaiama mid lens ???
Another good option here, super versatile! Just didn't quite make the cut! Same with the Takayama's :)
