Yeah Fazza, waiting for reports

Hey Fazza what fins do you like the best in the CC as I have been riding mine with Future AM2 and I have a mixed feeling about them. Have the same thought as you is it the board or the fins do i sell it and get a Unibrow?

Tried a few fins and settled on the Futures AM1 Blackstix. The give the board great hold and drive and nice release on turns......i am really loving the CC in the smaller to mid-range waves. It can handle a bit bigger if needed or handle bigger waves with fatter takeoffs.

The CC is definitely a keeper....

UB review to follow soon just got to go out urgently and do a few things.

Surfed the UniBrow early this morning for about 4 hours....picture above is what it was like as i was leaving.....tried Futures MB3 fins will try a few others over the next few surfs.

First of all this board is fast,fast,fast did i mention how fast it is? If you want a board that takes off the UB is for you....you will make sections you probably wouldn't on other boards.

Didn't feel as easy to paddle as the CC but catches the wave easily, bit of a contradiction i know but thats just what i noticed. It can handle a nice drop or late takeoff and just goes into turbo mode. At first all that speed threw me a bit but i never felt like i was not in control of the board.
Feels really nice and smooth going from rail to rail, you can really lay hard into your turns and the board responds immediately. I was a bit tentative at first being a new board with new fins and on my backhand but after an hour or so got into the grove a bit and found myself having a lot of fun.

I think with the slightly pulled in round tail and narrow nose you could surf this into some pretty decent waves and i feel that it can handle the upper wave range better than the CC but the CC is a fantastic board on lower end waves and will definitely stay in my quiver. I had a 508 FST Dominator sometime ago which died and even though the CC is surfed as a longer board i prefer it over the Dom. I have also owned a 5'10 PU Mini Driver which was ok but i didn't really gel with it and was contemplating getting a 6'0 FST MD but when i saw the Unibrow i was sold on it.

I am pretty sold on the UB and actually preferred how it surfed and how i surfed it over the Hellrazor.....i found the Hellrazor a bit of a love hate relationship.

Side by side comparison shot between the CC and UB. UB definitely more pulled in nose than the CC but the CC seems to be slightly more pulled in on the tail until just after the start of the deck grip on the UB.

Nice review Fazza waiting more.What's your opinion UniBrow or CC to cover mid wave range between my potato and MB?(Want the most versatile option as it would be my every day board).
Thanks.

Probably to early for me to answer that one yet. I will need quite a few more surfs on the UB and then jump back on the CC and see how they compare. I think they could both really be your everyday board and it may depend on the type wave you would surf them on most of the time, and if you prefer rounded square to rounded pin. Even though the CC has a bit of width slightly forward of centre i have never found it hard to turn/manoeuvre and never had the nose catch.

Wow looks like a needle nose. Any idea on nose width?

[buzzy]

Sounds impressive. It looks like 6'4" will be my length. Keep up the reviews.

How bout UB versus Jacknife Fazza? When would you use what? Or is your JK gathering dust?
