Thanks for tuning in. Just a quick note, I had some extra footage so I thought it would just post it. Not a review of anything.

Glazer - I'm starting to like it more and more. The feeling is similar to the Seaside since they share the basic DNA. The only difference that is really noticeable is the width. The narrowness of the tail I think will make this board really fun in punchier days and bigger days.

MISC - my buddy let me borrow it. First time surfing it and the waves were really soft. The rails are really pinched so they will be very sensitive and bite. If you are used to that, it might be good. I can see the benefits when the waves have size and/or power. I think they market this as an all-around board from beginners to advanced. I don't think it is a good board for beginners and intermediate surfers. If you bought it big, it would serve its purpose but there are better starter boards out there.

Dominator 2 - I really want to like this board. It has moments of greatness but the waves have to have power. I think if you are a heavy backfooted surfer, this wide point back from center would work well. One thing I did find out accidently, a wider stance really helps drive this board. Kevin Shultz rips on his 5'4 Dom2 but he is 6'1". I think although he has a narrow stance, the fact that he is so tall puts his feet in the right place of this board. It's a good board but not my favorite. I would love to try a 5'6" but can't afford it. I will likely sell this thing.
