The Best Surfboard In The World | Ultimate Every Day Surfer Board Test EP1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 кві 2021
- The best surfboard in the world... it sounds dramatic, unrealistic and, maybe most importantly, contextual.
Board tests are often conducted by pro surfers on paper thin, custom, high performance shapes in above average waves. I'm a huge fan of these tests however, I don't think they're relevant to the 80%+ surfers in the world who fall into the category of intermediate or below.
What if we could take a dozen of the world's greatest, publicly available shapes and test them in consistent, predictable waves at URBNSURF in Melbourne and adhere to relevant metrics for the every day surfer such as PADDLING POTENTIAL, PREDICTABILITY, RESPONSIVENESS AND OVERALL EASE.
I believe this would edge us closer to the greatest board test of all time.

Thank you so much for watching friends 🙌🏽 this series took A LOT of effort from all involved - please consider sharing it around with some friends if you enjoyed it 🤙🏽 love yas
Keep the feedback coming and we’ll tweak future episodes accordingly
Kale
Your enspaering
You lost me when advanced turns is fav session wtf. I think the chlorine has got to your brain. They spent 40 million to produce tubes and your plugging turns.
Dude, what an organisation to get all those boards and arranging the pool etc... congrats for that succeed !
I love watching you open these boards for the first time. You really do sound like a kid at Christmas. You're so adorably psyched with the way you are giggling over them!
Kale's on Rails!!
looking forward to this series. I just got a psychedelic germ from hayden shapes and loving it so im excited to see a hypto or holy grail in the lineup
kale saw stab in the dark was for premium members only and chose to make his own hahah love it
That is exactly what I was thinking!!!!
😛
Smart move from Kale
Lmao and picked the same board
I hope this blows up because it's way more relevant to us than stab in the dark. Great video dude
Thank you
And ya don't need to pay for this :)
stab in the dark is more about watching your favorite surfers tear up some mystery boards
@@vznquest I totally agree with you
Well said Adi 🤙 G⭐
This series is gonna be crazy! Love the vids mate
This is series is gonna be so sick!! Urban surf is definitely on the bucket list
Everyone should do it once to tick off the bucket list, but personally i thought it sucked, take off was weird, wave isn't that easy to surf and it all felt so artificial and wrong, wouldn't go back even if free, would much rather an average day at my local.
replacing stab in the dark I see, smart move.
That was awesome! Looking forward to more episodes! 🤙
Man, this series is gonna be awesome! I can't wait for next weeks episode
Thanks!
Love this style of Vids Kale! Keep at it! Looking forward to the next one! :D
Thanks Dan!!
Sick bro! Can't wait for EP2
This is epic Kale. Great job! I’m really enjoying the realistic feedback and advice on the diff models. Personally I don’t think I could ever justify buying a brand new stick from a shop as they are so exe. But am pumped to hear all about them. Can’t wait for the next episode.🤙🏾👊
Love this, Kale! You looked the best and most comfortable on the CI, in my humble opinion. The Sharp Eye looked like it wanted to run away from you a little bit maybe because you were still getting used to it. Great concept for the video, I really enjoyed it.
Nice Kale! Cool series, looking forward to more.
Love this can’t wait for the next episode!
Thank you!!!
One of those videos you just don't want to end. Absolutely awesome!
Thanks legend
Great series! Love the groove/jazz tracks in the background. Toight like a Toiger.
Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!
As good as it gets, great series, great editing.... And very very good surfing! Congrats
Thank you excited to share the rest with you
I’ve been looking at getting a new short board so this will be very helpful thank you.
can't wait!!!!
awesome project! looking forward for the next episode
love this review! great work man! love it!
Awesome! so glad you are doing this!
this is so sick! keep it up kale
This thing is going to blow so soon! Smart move doing this series! Congratulations!!
Thank you !
Nice videooo, can´t wait to the next episode!!
Thanks grommy!!!
Awesome concept! Looking forward to EP 2
Thank you very much
Much more helpful than Stab in the dark ! Well Done!
Great review packed with lots of fun! I think what a lot of people are also looking for is the best board review for less than average conditions (onshore, weak small beachbreaks you probably wouldn't go out for in Australia, but in Europe) for the intermediate/average surfer that doesn't like longboards. Too many advanced surfer reviews in clean waves out there. So I'm missing the wave type mostly.
Its about time.thank you.please do more boards
A board review like this is so overdue! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you for watching and sharing with friends 🙌🏽
This is sick. Love this series already.
Thank you!
Epic!! Cant't wait for the rest of the series. It's funny, the board that looks the best on a wave doesn't always equate with the one that feels the best.
For sure!!
I thought the NB3 looked like it sat in the wave best, with nice flow. Where as the SE seemed to be flicking around more, with more of the board sitting out of the water. I guess the SE looked more ‘electric’, but not as smooth.
Can you teach about types of wave condition? About bumpy waves. Junky waves? Steep waves. sloppy waves. That will be help me to be know about how is speed wave or no. And with one is faster and wich one is it is low. Thank you
Sick man, loved the video! Spoiler alert for stab in the dark winner though haha
This is so freaking awesome!!!
Great reviews Kale. As a result of these videos, I've upgraded both of my boards to the Sharp Eye Inferno and also Chilli Mid Strength. Love them both, particularly the middie! Wow.
🙏🏽
Best premiere of the year!
Thank you!!
You know not sure if it's still relevant, but I watched this a while back and, recently came across it again looking for a new board, and went and got an Inferno 72 poly today. Excited to get out there and give this baby a shot after riding the seaside for so long. Thanks a bunch for all that ya do mate 🤙
WOW WOW WOW¡¡¡ so much work and knowledge packed on this series. I have watched many times and I still come back to it. Are you planing to make one for 2023?
Nice Additions to Add to the Ole Quiver!😎🤙
Thnx!
Just ordered the Album Twinsman, left a note about your series. Stoked!!
what an awesome video! Had me so entertain. could you pls make a video on the best traction pad?
Thanks kale really enjoy watching that
Any chance of doing a episode on the best way to surf the Melbourne wave pool -tips and tricks
Watch my reviews - they contain some info :)
Great feature, my guess the board you didn't like is the lost sub driver 2.0, I had one sold it straight away. Looking forward to finding out . Really enjoy your channel
:) gracias kale por este video, la verdad es que me ha ayudado mucho a decidirme
Looking forward to seeing you on the Twinsman, I love mine!
Great episode Kale !🤙🤙🤙🤙👍👍
Thank you!
Nice Kale! Thoroughly good watch 🤙
Thanks very much
Awesome review! Cant wait to go to the Urbn wave pool. Im done with crowds here in the NB haha.
Well done.. Very enjoyable. Liked how you surfed the chilli.
Cheers
Thank you!
You didn’t do the BV2 justice not riding it in 2+1 MR twins on an another level of fun
As an adult, I still bring my surfboards in the house to ogle the first day I buy them.
I’m glad I’m not alone
I drink excessively and gawk at my new board until I pass out .
I even tuck mine in before bed!
Doesn't everyone ?
Haha we all do it haha it feels nice
Cool vid man👍👍👍
Great timing this video for me. Currently using a hybrid from surfboard warehouse with a lot of Litres and now have outgrown it with skill, fitness etc. looking for a new short board and want to get a good quality board and have JS Monstabox 2020 at the top of my list from my research.
Cant wait! :D
Great content! Thank you
Thank you for watching
Wow 👏😮 kale osom tank you for your hard work 💪 and have fun !!
Thanks mate
Love it!!
Men this is great work🤙🏻🤙🏻
I always sleep with surfboards the day I buy it! Can relate great video yew!
Great concept @kale love it! I reckon you need to take it to the next level and feature a more relatable super-average weekend frother to do the same test (someone who doesn't fit the Home & away extras mould 😆). I will happily devote my time to volunteer for this task testing new sticks at the wavepool for you. Look forward to your call 😃🤙
Agree totally, Kale you are a lot better than the average surfer so a bit hard to get a good indication for us not so good surfers!
You are living the dream mate! I want your job!!! 🤩
😍
I bought a Radius from Pyzel because it won SITD twice and I really loved it. We all want to ride the best surfboard and you make our dream comes true Kale. Thanks a lot. Can't wait to watch your series.
Maybe you'll influence me for my next board.
Should you recommend the radius?
@@zacchowdhury8489 For sure, yes! I have a radius and a Hypto krypto.
Me: mom can I buy stab in the dark
Mom: no we have stab in the dark at home
Stab in the dark at home:
Great series. Im interested in board design from a scientific perspective. Some of the measurements im interested in are the spread of the forward fins and the distance between centres of the foward and rear fins down the center of the board. I think this would have some impact on perceived stiffness. Great series again, subscribed 👌
I love it!
Super stoked for this series! Do you have a list of all the boards somewhere? How are you deciding which fins to use in different boards?
Creating a resource soon
Hi Kale, great vid!!! Hey did you feel any difference paddling into the urbane surf waves compared to the ocean???
Yeah of course!
This is epic 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Waiting!!
Nice review and nice surf also i will follow to see what`s coming next! Any chances of having a fishbeard in the game, it`s not a 2021 board but would love to see your opinion about it. Cheers
Nice work Kale, what's your height weight? What type of waves do you normally surf? eg point, beach? Interesting to see how they go in a wave pool. Some only tested on forehand and others on backhand only?
The best short board is the one you brought to surf.
But I would have to go with an Aipa wrapped in Dark Arts
The Sharpie looks sick!!!
Slick production 👌
Thank you
Great vid
That sharpeye just looks so damn sick
The is the best! You used the leash And fins I use! Makes it easier for me
Hi Kale - love your videos! What’s the chances of a Ulimate Every Day Surfer LONGBOARD/ SOFT BOARD series? I’m a beginner looking for advice/ direction and done t think I’m alone!? Cheers Paul
Hey Kale. Some of your surfing videos in where you hold the camera are good and some other are... Well not as good. I was wondering if you could explore the different options to hold the camera for the angles and give us a set of recommendation for what we can do to improve filming ourselves. Also, have you tried holding the camera with a stick, like the 360 camera?
Great info
Nice, Kale! Already watched when it came online :) It came in such a good timing, I just started looking for a new surfboard exactly yesterday! Congrats for the content & charisma
Would you be so kind as to provide the above tested board specs and yours also, so we can make better educated interpretations of these reviews? Sometimes you compared them to what you usually ride, what would those be?
I will have a resource page put together as soon as possible
@@KalesBroccoli thanks! i understand it is a lot of work, i appreciate the effort.
epic content !!
Thank you!
Sick!!! Episode two please! Paywall next year? :p
No pay wall. 🙌🏽
@@KalesBroccoli thank you. I missed when stab in the dark was free.
Mate your in full grom mode!!!! Loving this ep buddy! Well done getting all the board makers on board! Neck beard looks like needs bigger fins 4 u? Loved the CI and Flat Earth, the Aipa bros kill it! Looks like the Chilli needed the rails tuned down? Little rail diggy? G⭐
Your ripping mate🤙
Thanks champion!
@@KalesBroccoli Keep up the great work buddy. An early congrats on getting to 100k mate. Woo hoo!!!!🤙 G⭐
Outstanding job Kale! When the next episode is going to be online?
In a week
Thank you!!
GREAT IDEA KALE
When you were doing your class at urban surf I was doing a lesson on the left hand side like you.
hey Kale thx for these videos. what are your thoughts on the DHD 3DV/X?
🤷🏼♂️ DHD were invited but weren’t involved in this test
I thought the same thing about Stab. I would say though, if I'm gonna test out an everyday board from CI especially the Spinetek boards, I would go with the OG Flyer.
Based solely on the footage you included, it seems to me you were most comfortable on the CIS Neck Beard 3. You looked more confident, comfortable, aggressive and glued to the board on the Channel Islands than the others in this test. I have no bias one way or the other, but on every other board, there were moments when you looked like you were learning the board - not so on the Neckbeard 3.
Hey mate, love the vids. Can you run us though how heavy and tall you are ? To help us relate to the board dimensions ?
Yep next episode!
What do you think about Torq surfboards?
Hey @kalesbrock, what was with the different performer fin materials? I noticed pcc, pc and neo glass mixed up together?
Good idea but I was waiting to see all the boards on forehand and backhand as some boards may work well on one and not so well on the other. Also dialing in the fins for each board can also make a big difference as be good to mention what fins you used and if they are the same for each board as I know you probably don't have time to play with fins too much but it is really interesting for us viewers I believe. Also if you got the chili in 5.7 might have gone heaps better also?
i dont know if you have tryed the kelly slater FRK board but i do recommend it
We are off the the wave pool next week, hope I get to watch the next episode before then.
Wow amazing
Can you do a new version of this and include the pyzel happy twin and white tiger
Loving this series, can't wait for the next one. Hope it's at least a 30 episode series, haha. Is the sharpeye board dark arts, or just painted black? Either way looked incredible
Just black spray job!
