My dream board
I’m basically a 47 year old ex rugby player (95 kgs +) and this board changed my surfing. I am loving the board and the fins (FCS II Split Keel PG Quad Fins were suggested by very helpful staff)! It has totally changed my surfing. I’m having a lot of fun and my friends are remarking about how many more manoeuvres I’m able to do on any given wave! Thanks! Difficult for me to surf any other board now and have had it for two years… also great service from boardshop and super useful and professional advice and very responsive. ????

Love this little guy
Like a new puppy: full of enthusiasm and energy, even if over-exuberance means things go pear-shaped once in a while. Thruster, 2+1, split keels - all different all good.

bean bag 5.8 great board
Surfed my 5.8 once now in 1.5 m choppy surf. The board works great. Fast paddling. Easy to catch waves and very responsive on the wave. I have a 5.8 mini simmons model but the bean bag works so much better. It surfs more agressive. I would recommend beginners or people with not that much experience buying a larger model. Delivery was very fast.

Super fun
Great little shape! I’m 80kg and riding a 5’8”, which at 41 litres is WAY bigger than I’d normally go (my other boards are 33-36 litres). No problems, though: clearly it’s not for vertical attack surfing - even if I did that - but it’s still a zippy little small-wave fun stick.

So far I’m preferring it as a thruster with large Carvers, but it’s a close thing between that and a 2 + 1 setup. Need to get round to trying quads on it too, I think that will be fast, especially on really tiny, gutless waves.

Super Fun Small Wave Groveller
Had my first surf on my Bean Bag yesterday, at a knee to waist high wind affected point break, and it was great. Gets into waves really early and easily, important in small waves as they can zip off too quickly if you’re late. Just going down the line it was heaps of fun, one short step and you can hang five on it, and if a section comes along you can take one short step back and whack it. I really noticed the vee bottom, it does go rail to rail easily, and holds well on cutties, despite being so wide I can only just get my arm around it. It paddles super-fast with all that volume, I managed to sprint out and snag the only head high set that came through.
On the one head high and fairly hollow wave I got it handled the drop fairly well, but was a little drifty off the bottom. I used Medium thruster fins, Large fins would probably help if you wanted to use it for this size, but I’d be back on my shortboard.
All in all it’s a great little board, heaps of fun and extends the range of waves I can have fun in. I hate longboards, find them way too cumbersome in the water and too slow to react when I want to turn on a wave, or when a nice section comes along on a small day.
I’m 5’10” and 82kg, a decent surfer and my regular board is a 6’2” shortboard, just under 32 liters. I got the 5’6” Bean Bag. I’ve been surfing more than 20 years now, and never thought I’d ride something so short, but after trying a mates CI Average Joe in a 5’7” I had to get a proper groveller. Summer is looking a lot better now!

Excellent
I just recently bought this board and I have not ridden it yet so I can't comment on that but the service from the Boardshop has been excellent. Quick to answer question, pro-active when there was a delay in delivery (due to parcel force, not the boardshop). I'd definitely recommend them. The video review was really helpful, too.

Brilliant Beanbag
What a bag of fun, I never go below
6. 2 because of my weight but I got a 6.0 one of these and love it! ! It's fast and great fun, took it out in head high kimmeridge for the first time and it was amazing ,it doesn't seem to like late drops as it's so fast but that may just be something I need to adjust to and get used to? !?!

The Greatest Groveler?
I have been riding a Firewire BP as my groveler for a couple of years, whilst I loved the look of the Timbertek, and all that goes with the Firewire brand. The fact is I just never felt like the board was giving me the experience I hoped it would. I had the “Great Groveler debate chat” with the Boardshop guys and we discussed several options. For me I will only ride the groveler under 3ft, so I wasn’t seeking any sort of performance hybrid, it was an out and out slush machine to add into the small wave end of the quiver.

The first time I took it out was 1-2ft Paignton, the waves were pants…….but I had a ball, caught a ton of waves and was able to generate loads of speed and really enjoyed the session, I was really surprised.. I then took it out at 2-3ft Bantham, again had a ball, much better waves and the board was great fun, I could easily have opted for my main board, but it was very crowded and I though I’d give it ago. It paddles like a dream, you can stroke into waves with very little effort and generally catch them before most other shortboards. I absolutely love this board, its just pure fun. True, you’re not going to get your picture in a magazine riding one…..but for almost all of us, that’s exactly the point, we surf because its fun…pure and simple. When the waves aren’t great but I still want to go in, this is hands down the best small wave board I’ve ridden, its really is.
