The board definitely got some speed like a Dom and paddles into the wave easily. I didn't notice or even really think about where i was paddling into the wave from still trying to work out what i can do on it.

Not the best but here is a photo of the tail which will give you some idea.

Thanks Fazza,
Exactly what I was after! That tail looks sweet! Fits in perfectly between Dom and alt.

Drivey, fast, good paddler and goes well in a variety of conditions. The reports on the unibrow sound unreal!

i think my stealth is going up for sale to fund a 60 or 61 unibrow.
Thanks again!

Wow no wonder its a speed demon, thanks for that, I think this could be my next FW, by the way how far does it continue up the board?

The single concave basically starts from the front of the board and then goes into a double through the fins.

Thanks fazza looking forward to feeling one up, none up here in shop racks, out of the new releases only seen a couple of vanguards and MDs

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

JK gathering dust at the moment :(

Sounds like the UB covers everything the JK handles and maybe better? Fazza how would you compare the UB against the JK?

Thanks for posting all that fazza I'v been trying I decide between a Ub and cc for a while, all that really helps (although all I know now is I want both)

If you have the money get both.........they have a different feel about them.....i really like the CC and will keep surfing it.

I haven't ridden the JK for a little while now cannot really compare the UB and the JK fairly. I like the fact that the UB is a little shorter and narrower and has a tad more volume.

Hopefully i can get to surf the UB a few more times this week.

Guys the JK is a little more refined overall and has a higher performance ceiling. I rode my unibrow this weekend in head high punchy reefbreak and liked it, but swapped it because it was a little too fast for my Alternator. MY Alt had better control. THe Jacknife for sure would have handled it. one think i notice is that the steeper the wave gets, the more refined i like my board, its not always a reflection of size, sometimes just shape.

So long story short, Unibrow is probably a more versatile board than the JK, but in GOOD conditions, the better surfer may prefer the refined characteristics of the Jacknife.

Cheers

Surfed the UB this morning on a nice reef break with a bit of push and the occasional nice drop. Today I used the AM1 Blackstix that i have been loving in the CC, did not like them at all......too stiff.

I am going to try some V2F4's which are a small fin and compare them to the MB3's i used when i first surfed the UB.

Hi there Fazza,have you had any more surfs on the Unibrow after changing fins and if so how did it go?
