Noel Salas had to wait weeks for the right conditions to test the Ghost. He has some interesting tips on fins.

"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 Schooner is a high volume performance board. The refined tail allows for more foam in the chest region. If you have witnessed Mikey Wright take-off in solid waves, this board makes a lot of sense. This board can be ridden a couple of litres more volume than usual and can be a couple of inches shorter and still handle like a step up.

Noel Salas discusses the "FRK" with Dann Mann. In a visit to Surfboard Empire on the Gold Coast recently the shop guy was raving about this board. Definitely a board for punchy beach breaks, something the Goldy has in spades.

We have a 6' 2" Sci-Fi currently for sale on the Gold Coast This is the earlier version to the board reviewed here.
