- What's up everyone!! I told myself I'd be branching out in 2020 & trying new things. So when Superbrand offered for me to test their new experimental quad fish surfboard I jumped at the opportunity to see what was up with it! Testing new surf boards is really fun! I could do this for a living! haha. Thanks for all the stoke & support, let me know what you think!! - Ben

Chris hahaha
Your vlog and podcast are helping keep me sane. 🤘🤙
Congratulations Legend!!!!! You are an inspiration to us all!!! You have made such a positive impact to the surfing community!! Keep doing what you are doing because you are an inspiration to us all!!!!!
Looking better than ever. That board changes you to perform because it is possible
Husband (lazy) poaching on wife's account again : Your comments on the new board were spot on - that puppy wants to move ! Be to to share your first vid of that 4-6 ft, bowlnsteep day with us ! If there was ever a day for one of your rubber bump jumpers this was it at 3 feet as you called it . Three ? Really ? It seemed like one of those days that the degree of fun you can generate is how it might be described. I.M.O
Appreciate the review! Cool to see this stuff once in a while!
A UA-camr that definitely deserves 100k and even a million+ as Ben is one of the few who are truly genuine and for the dream. I'm always stoked to watch his videos and brings a smile to my face, improving my mood every time. Much love and stay safe from Sydney, Australia! Yewwww!
Kieran Harris thanks so much dude !!!
The opening I used to have a wagon just like it hahaha in the year of our lord 1972 I love the opening new board so cool. First fish I remember was riden by a guy at my local break very well I might add in 1973. I think it was a little wide. In fact it might have been near 21". Maybe it was a little shorter also.
Gregory Adorian I love to hear it!! Epicness
Yeeew sick vid big dog🤘, im lovin these daily vids, surfed both boards well for 1st surf , fling small waves n el fisho for shoulder high. Looking forward to the rest of the new quiver reviews, For the dream!
Great boards/great sesh. The first sesh waves looked fun. REALLY Fun!
Finally he gets a sick board! Somebody give this man a fin and coffee sponsor Pronto 🤩
Thanks for sharing the speculations😎
Free surfers like Ben are more entertaining so they should be sponsored.
Stoked! Sick to see you surf a glass board!
Stoked on the boards for sure. Sick🤙🏻
Let's Go, Ben!! Great session 🌊👍
Totally agree by way they performed for you., on the for smaller mushier weak waves and for the average guy to have fun with. Thanks Ben that was fun....
Admirable effort to be diplomatic with the sponsor's boards. The Fish was a dog. The Fling was 1000% better under your feet.
3' @ 6 sec weak windswells, Fling's greater tail area and tail thickness is gonna shine. Juicier and it could start sliding out. Fish obviously has more sink and traction for bigger & hollower .
So sick! That fish is el sexy!! Love seeing you surf the fiberglass boards!! New quiver is dope!! And now I want those stretch quads 🙄
Popping airs and kicking buckets, Fling For the Win! Good to be out, For the Dream!
BEST INTRO YET...the one before yours.....try the M R twinnies on it. You’ll fly in that kind of surf..save the stretch for the waves you were dreaming about.
Nice Vid. El Fisho, haha. Keep up the good vids!
Both of those boards look like a lot of fun!
That's for sure!
Soooo doooope dooood! Coolness with the greatness=epic edit! I ordered bg apparel can’t wait to rock my local jersey ledgo bro
Nice airs and chop hops on the fling too!!
Up up down down left right left right select start 😁 Contra
Hahahahahahaha.....EPIC!!!
30 lives and concur all 8 levels...spray gun was sick!!!!
Bout high time you brought back the fling. Now you only need those brownish nj barrels and gutterdrunk. Thx for the stoke in these haggard times!
Superbrand to the rescue ! Boards look great !
BEN!!!! It would be really sick to see you setup the new boards! Wanna see the traction pad and stickers go on!! And how you wax them!
I see jverni made you a sick bracelet lol! Loving the board reviews!! You should always compare boards in the same wave range!! This is sick! The fish was that slab barrel hunter blade!! Yew!
I know wave bandit sponcers you and are a great company but you surf so much better and look so good on a regular sb
Wow!! What a flashback. Fun times
:)
I got tired of waiting for my BG special so I ordered an in-stock 8' Bandit, and to top it off I ordered a cruiser board from Sector9 too. I haven't skated in 40 years, but when I did I was kind of a radical. Too old for rad now so going street cruising instead on flat days and hit the waves when they're here. For the DREAM!!!! Nukin!!!
I remember the first time I rode a quad. Felt more like a skate board. Quick, snappy, pivoting turns. What surprised me most is how well it held on steep walls and tubes. Kind of looks like what you experienced. Fun.
OG Ben ready for the QS with those 2 blades!
I’ve got a 5’5 FireWire Chumlee is kinda similar to the Fling board you took out. I started out with a quad set up & it was okay... Put in AM2 medium thruster set up & it came alive! Also threw the Mark Richards 2+1 set up (on smaller surf) it was super fun! Keep ripping! Keep shining! FTD! 👊🤙💪
Thanks for the stoke Ben
33L 5'4! that's awesome!
I'm on a 5'4 29.8L fish, loving it
Que Dableyou love to hear it !!
I like them both in some ways. I'd probably take the fish out on a juicy 3-5 ft day and the fling on a small 2-3 ft nuking chop :)
Great vid, I would love to see another comparison between another two boards! Yew
I love you my friend. so please take this with that.the deck plug is too far back.
the string is too long .
so now the rail savor will not work! and it you will get a pull through guaranteed! Tell superbrand to move the deck plug up an inch. In the meantime make the shortest string possible. so the rail savor gets a chance to work... I was there in the development of the rail saver technology. Baby boomer Guy. Late 70s Baja Malibu Mexico!...fish is awesome!!!
I’ll I just typed the same thing! He does this all the time
Superbrand is killing it! I surf proctor’s mainly but I have a few ci’s but I’d like a fish or fling from super some day
That thing has so much pop in the air!!!
for sure!!
such a cool board but aint quite right for it chief. love the uploads!
Thanks Ben for the review! Very sharp when saying on the first try it was period 6 force wave..that s good info because at period 8 or higher the board will show you better performance. Please how tall are you and your weight to check against board dims&volume? tks ..from ARGENTINA!
Is there ever a scenario when you would go 5 fin setup?
Loving the board reviews!!
It would be soo sick if you could try some narrower, and more performance boards👍👍maybe even a 6ft-ish vintage board🤷♀️👍
That FISH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ still a TWIN KEELER fan🙏🏽
Thank you thank you so awesome very cool design very cool and thanks for posting even though all this stuff is going on thank you so much.
Was hoping it was a 54 special, but that’s just as sick🤙
2:13 Nice license plate edit....all in the details🤙
El Fisho got You working haha when talking about that board camera was getting all fogged up haha I guess You were still hot haha STOKED !!!!! EL FISHO baby!!!
Yyeeeewwww! For the Dream!!! 🤙🏽🌞
Diggin the Fling! Love how it cruised over more flat sections. Surf in San Diego would be perfect! Next time your out here let’s go for a sesh 🌊
oh! nice speculations!!!!
They should definitely name it El Fish-O for the dream!
Head high surf... I think "El Fisho" flys!
Good score 👍
4:33 man gravy buckets!!
Stretch quads are insane - I have them in FCSII and Futures
Cool board!! No surfing a loud in So Cal mostly LA county and tickets are being issued to surfers ..Stay safe stay well 🏄👍
there were about 20 out in HB this morning. I watched from web cam.
My daily driver is a 5’10 fling I find it better as a thruster I ride it from knee high to way overhead. It handles everything.
Can confirm. Had a 5'6" Fling and absolutely loved that thing. Still miss it sometimes. The Album Plasmic twin fin looks like a nice substitute, though.
If I heard you correctly the fling had 2 more liters of volume which will make a huge difference for carrying speed. I thought your turns looked smoother on the fish
Thanks Lee
Stay safe!!! Stay stoked!🙌🤙
nice surfing ben ;)
Feel like with the dims of that thing it would rip through flat sections
yessir💥
Thanks!!
The airbrush on that other board looks really cool too🤙
Cute intro dude :) From and inexperienced noob's point of view, I'd say you had more fun on the Fling. As you mentioned, it carried more speed and let you spend more time on the wave than the fish...JMHO ;) NNFTW! Cheers, John ;)
Looked to me exactly like the boards he usually rides, so to me looked way more comfy on the Fling. But once he figured out the fish 🤙🤙🤙
That board looks insane! 40 years surfing and still haven't tried a quad, gonna change that asap!
Hi Ben, I have been a long-time subscriber, but I'm actually not that interested in surfing. I respect it, but not my thing. Your vlogs when you were recovering from your knee injury and your pursuits in the aftermath of that were what drew me in. I'd love it if you brought back some of those types of videos.
Fiberglass looks good under your feet, Ben. Either way you surfed both boards very well. I personally liked you on the Experimental fish. Just because of the rail work. Although the fling may be a better smaller wave board, the fish did very comparable and would work better in bigger surf. Quad setup is cool but I would test both with a thruster setup. Yew!!
Dude excite bike is one of my favorite games from back in the day saw u rocking that
T & C Surf Designs...hands down the best NES game...give it a go if you got it Ben, you won't be disappointed!!!
" I was drinking yesterday....but I remember everything " except where the other part of your tooth is.....oh man .... big DoG..
El FishO looks sick!!!
Chaz Bickel hahaha guy is a savage
@@BenGravyy please guide him....
Good morning #BenGravy !! Nice board
Thanks!!
I would need a bigger version but a fish used to be "The Deal" . the drift looked sick. I might take a 6'8"
Yeah, I thought it looked a Lil’ sluggish in the flats, but that wave at 4:24 was SAF! YEW!
Thanks!!
The fish is better for steeper walls. Rails seem more knify. Flings better for softer, mushier sets, closer to 50/50 rail schedule. But if i had to pick only one, the fling. It surfs everything. Growing swell Ben, too bad you couldn't be up here.
You should do more videos like this! 🤙🏼
BUEN TEACHER EXCELENTES TUS VIDEOS ... GOOD VIDEOS ZARPAOOOOO
I always felt fishes worked better in bowl-lier type conditions. But that turn at 4:24 was money
Ben your board analysis is pretty much spot in I reckon. You had more drive and flow with the fling but more flare on the el fisho when the waves allowed. Hard to compare on two different days 100%. I think try the el. Fisho as a twin as mentioned below. You clearly can surf well on whether your on plus adapt to new boards quickly. Try a thruster set up to in the fling. Anyway there's my views 🤙🤙. No surfing here currently 😱. Got the Carver so mind surfing perfect waves on the street
Yeah the Super Fling was looking a lot more groovy, in the mellower surf and carried speed like no ones business, getting some good waves over the next couple days but with the beach closures it’s hard to get out there because the cops are patrolling most of the areas as well, still gonna try though, can’t pass up good waves!!
Are there discounted plane tickets in the package?
the stretch are sick have a glass on feel ben get rid of the pad! that quad is a beauty! ripping brother fish for the win
I remember my friend Ricky got Pong on Christmas day when we were 12 years old😮
Pay attention Ben! That Cadillac behind you looks like it belongs to a mobster.....
On the El Fisho, knew before you even gave the review that it worked great on the rail. Seemed very precise and clean. The El Flingo appeared less precise and a bit sloppy - more like the "skater" board. Definitely a good point though about the El Flingo allowing more flow and connecting sections on smaller waves. Great review.
Fling for not so semi pro. Board for anybody. Looks fun, love to have a 6' ish With twice the volume.
i love bowly conditions bro
Had a quad fin in the mid 80's....good for small waves, bit hairy and loose on 6-8' point breaks.
Ben, if you're happy with the Nintendo system purchase, which one specifically did you purchase (many to chose). And you should call the board The OFishial!
Most assuredly stick #2 for conditions you were out in. Made your backhand heaps better. Fish prob'ly requires more size to respond. Cool post by the way- the opening right hander was a buzz.
Many prefer a tri on backhand: it's that center fin pushing back against the deeper heel jam. The narrow "fishy" swallow point mimics that same effect.
Should definitely be called el fisho! Gravy's claimed it!
where’d you get the nes for 20 bucks?
Great board review but post quarantine I’ll be riding a Log 🤙🏼💪🏼
board looks like it goes sick.. ripping ben
I like the fish 🐟🐟🐟🐠🐠🐠
Awww.....I thought it was your UA-cam 100k award
The Fling looked faster, The Fish looked better on the rail. And those fins look awesome 🤙
Synopsis, eh? You're pulling out the Silver Dollar Words now.
Six comments for the win lol! Love you big dog
