    POCKET SURFING

    The JS Blak Box 3 is very easy to surf and I highly recommend it for upper end Beginner/ Intermediate / and Expert level surfers for 1-5' surf.

    The BB3 checks all the boxes for a small wave performance board.

    1. Good paddler

    2. Quick get up and go speed

    3. Projects with speed through maneuvers

    4. Good drive off the bottom and big rail turns

    I struggled a bit with it in 1-2’ surf due to the HYFI construction feeling a bit heavy under foot. Both boards carried good speed but I felt they lacked the pop or X Factor from turn to turn in 1-2’ surf that I normally get out of a light weight stringerless EPS board.

    The weight factor is an easy fix… I would just custom order the BB3 in HYFI with a lighter glass job.

    Overall the performance of the BB3 was solid and I had a great time surfing it in 3-5’ surf. I liked the HYFI construction in bigger surf due the extra weight. The board was easy to get on rail with its low/medium rail design and somewhat heavier stock glass job.

    No noticeable chatter or vibration that I normally feel from other light weight EPS boards.

    I also want to mention that I rode 2 stock 5’7” boards with the exact same dimensions but one was a Swallow Tail and the other a Squash Tail. You have to watch the review to find out which one I liked better.

    Board DIMS: 5’7” x 19 ¼ x 2 ¼ Liters 26.1

    Board Weight: 5.55 lbs
