@@johanmaritz9849 if your pop up is good and you have no issues catching waves then you should be good with the 6’6” Beastie 2.0. Just start with small waves to get used to it first. It’s not gonna paddle like an 8’0”.. you would have to see deeper in the lineup almost as a short boarder.
Looks cool, And almost sold out already at least the 6'6 versions that is . I would get one if I was not living in South America where they do not ship... What material exactly is it made of? Hard to tell in the video and pictures.. Is it semi soft or hard?
Sick video as always, bro. I've been eying the Beastie for a while, and it had always been sold out. I see that they're in stock now, so I think I will pull the trigger. Watching you ride makes me miss the Rockaways! During COVID, we moved from Queens to the North Fork, so now I'm surfing Westhampton Beach and Cupsogue mostly. Keep up the great work!
Do you think that this would be a good minisimons alternative for a bigger guy? I'm 6'3" and 210lbs. I always struggle on boards less than 6'4 as my back foot lands off the board. It pretty much looks like a longer minisimons but the fin placement is a bit different. Great video btw. 👌
Thank you, buddy! It’s not quite a Mini Simmons. Based on your height and weight, the 6’6” Beastie 2.0 would feel more like a shortboard for you but more user friendly. Your ideal Mini Simmons size would be 5’10” x 22 x 3, which would give you enough float and make it easier to turn the board back to the pocket. What boards do you surf now?
@@SkipperSurfReview thanks for your advice. I'm ridding a 6'10 (60L) Softech Bomber at the moment since I snapped my longboard in January. I used to find it quite easy to swap between the two boards. The Fanning 6'6 would be quite a drop in litres though, although it would have a similar surface area to the Bomber which I actually find really easy to surf.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did you feel were the main differences for you between the twin town & beastie?-i’m debating between getting one or the other! Do you think one is easier to catch waves than the other or is anything harder or easier about one vs the other? Or is faster or moreeasy to control? (no problem if ur too busy too answer! Ur videos were already so helpful!)
Thanks for watching! If you're at a beginner level, you'll find it easier to catch waves and ride them on the Beastie 2.0. It offers better hold on turns and performs well on bigger days. The Twin Town, on the other hand, is more skatey and provides greater speed down the line.Hope this helps!
Made from Super Eva! I bet WALL-E would be keen 😂 sorry couldn’t help myself….Its super E.V.A and you should do a review of the little Marley model if you can get one…maybe a 5’6”
Great review man. I just got the 7'6" and really love it !
Enjoy it
Any recommendations on thruster fins to upgrade to? The plastic fins don’t have enough hold for me
Probably fcs2 performer set.
Congrats man, stoked for u.
Appreciate it!
Does the textured surface underneath slow you down?
@@RevereNature I haven’t noticed it🤷🏻♂️
Which would be a better pick the KiKi Evolution fish surfboard 7’6 or this board?
Hi did you use Wax or No Wax and what were your findings ??
Cheers
It Works. No wax needed. It’s got a great grip!
Great review thanks!
What size would you recommend for 150lb beginner/ early intermediate in small SC beachbreak waves.
Thank you for watching! What board are you currently surfing?
8’x22”x 3” custom mini longboard shape …not sure of litres ….60ish??

It’s semi-soft with an EPS core. It’s lightweight! Where in South America are you from?
@@SkipperSurfReview I am an American but live in Chile for the last 20 years!! Best surf country in the world..yeeeew Thanks

Right on! Thanks for watching!
also do you think the Eva grip is better than waxing the twin town?
Yes, eva grip is awesome!

Thanks for watching! My friends at Surfboard Tribe NYC have little Marley for rent. I may give it a go soon😁

BRO, did you just go goofy and regular? I was like "WTF!!!!!"
Hey! Yes, I surfed a few waves switch stance.
