I have the unibrow. Completely agree that it is a better choice than Dom or spit for what you seem to be looking for. I use Dom up to head high and unibrow from shoulder (good shapers waves) to head...
Only surfed my UB a couple of times with the biggest being just overhead. So in short I can't say what it's top end would be. Definately agree with prj on length/weight. I feels like it would go well...
Hey marklids,
I used to own a 60 hellfire and have swapped it for a 60 unibrow. I am very happy with the swap.
This is my take on the differences:
Paddle: v similar when paddling around the...
Hey moolie,
I've had the 62 stealth for about a year and just bought the 60 unibrow to replace it. I found the stealth had more float both to paddle and when up and riding. I loved the way it surfed...
I uploaded some pics earlier in the post that show the rails. No substitute for feeling them though. There wasn't much difference between the 510 and the 60 in the rails to touch, maybe a little...
Wise words from buzzy. I also think the 511 would be good for you if you want it to paddle well and your usual boards are 30l. i also found the 60 Dom too big so went for a 510 Dom. If they had had...
Most of my board are 33l. I test rode the 510 and it surfed brilliantly. However, I went for the 60 because I wanted it to grovel well and also because I don't get in the water much. I think it...
Amazing piha! V jealous. I was there two years ago. Have you been before?
I'm definitely going to try the knubser in the UB didn't like it in the Dom but its waiting to be tried out again.
I actually went to South Wales this time. It was still pretty fun at head and a half on the sets.
Sadly back to school/work on Monday so will have to wait 5 weeks before I can get back in!
So quite similar to the k3. Cheers kdropin.
I see you signature says you have a unibrow on the way, when's it due to arrive?
Absolutely loving mine. It's that dream daily driver I've been looking...
Cheers Rich,
Loving the unibrow! Thanks for all your help and advice.
Glad I went for the 60. Had to contend with a massive paddle out on Wednesday so that extra float came in handy but the board...
Interesting. Thanks, it would be great to hear how that set up goes.
what fcs fin would you compare your am techfins too? Are they the same as the g-am set up?
I have only tried the dom a few...
Hey cucuson,
Not yet. Was planning to yesterday but feel that the quad works well in softer waves which i have had for each of the three sessions ive had on the UB. I am wondering if it will need a...
So, i had two surfs on the new Unibrow as a quad yesterday.
Surf 1
Head high, very gentle beach break. Winds cross shore to start with then offshore by the end of the session. I would definitely...
Sorry about the waffle in the last post. Bit late at night for me to make sense.
So in short I love the combination of higher volume to lower surface area in the UB.
- Easy to duck dive due to...
Hey luismx,
I completely agree with:
Volume = good paddle
Surface area=stability and a little extra paddle
So, i used to surf a HP shortboard at around 30l. However, ive not been getting in...
Hey Chris,
Which fin in the FCS range would you say was most similar to your EA blackstix? Looking forward to testing out my new unibrow as a thruster and wondering what to go with.
Cheers
I will be in on Wednesday or Thursday testing it out as a thruster in some decent waves (fingers crossed the forecast turns out to be true!). Likely to try the 2.1 and scarfini x2 (which is just like...
It doesn't surprise me that your HF paddles better than your Alt.
The volume question
Ive been spending a huge amount of time thinking about and obsessing over volume over the last year. Having...
FST lasts so much longer than PU not only in terms of delam and dings but in flex too. They just feel new for so much longer and they hold their value well too.
They are a bit of both if that makes sense. Not surfed one but had a good look last weekend when deciding between the CC, sub and unibrow. The tail in the CC is sharp like an HPSB (more refined than...
Unibrow all the way!
Easy to jump from Dom to UB.

Hey Kdropin,
Crappy weather today which means that I can't seem to get a good representation of the domed deck in a photo.
I have tried to get one which shows the rail thickness...
That is interesting.
I definitely feel like by going 2" longer I am going for more of a replacement for my Dom, unless it is really gutless and small, than an out and out step up from my Dom.
I...
