hey crew,

with small surf grovels of late, my mind is boggling with board options.

has anyone ridden the JS Pier Pony??

if so who did it go?

and even better, does anyone have a 5"4 they want to sell?? hahah

cheers

they look like a lot of fun - I have a FW Sweet Potato made for similar waves and its the most fun board I have ever had.......if you like your JS's go get one - I reckon it would be a whole lot of fun.

Bit late now but did you see this

The FARTKNOCKER is a GSI board. since my bad runs with WMD's and 7S super fish, im a bit cautious.

I did look into the firewires.
I have owned a tonne in the past (dominators, spitfires) but never a fatty.

The baked potaatoe looks good.

thanks for your help lads

I'm a big JS fan and own 3 of them but couldn't feel the love for the Peir pony when giving it a fondle in the shop. I owned a 5' 8" Lost bottom Feeder but although it went good it didn't go great in the real little gutless stuff we get here in summer at my local, Surfbeach. It felt to me just to much width (found it a bit catchy) and swing weight in the nose in the standard PU construction. The Pier Pony looked similar.
I had a crack on a mate's 5'4" FW Sweet Potato and it took a bit of adjustment but fell in love with the speed the thing could generate on nothing. Bought a 5'5" FW Baked Potato and for grovel I can't imagine a better board. It's super fast, you can put it on rail a bit better than the Sweet and once you get your head around driving it off your back foot you can get it to go most places. I find it a bit spooky once you get it over head but that's not what its for. Only negative is I find it a bit fragile (I have the Rapidfire) and have opened up rails with just a simple crack with an elbow. Still I wont hesitate to get another when this one dies. I hear there bringing it out in full timber soon so that may be an option. Get a lone one from a shop and give it a crack, you wont be disapointed. Just for reference i'm 6' and 81 kg.

I currently have a 5"6 Al merrick Biscuit.
Its great, but getting a bit worse for ware.

Just want a full groveller.
The baked potato looks good, but i too like PU.

cheers for the help.

P.S the bottom feeder was on my list, ill cross it off now.

Check out the rusty happy shovel. I've seen a few in stores and they look mint!

am loving the look of the rusty boards at the moment.
can comment that the rusty magic door is just an awesome board for the small wave stuff.
do you want a full on groveller JB? what about a JS matrix as more of a compromise?

So i had a quick look.
It looks nice and fun but...
its not fat enough.
im talking minimum 21 in the waist.
and i want fat, sofa lazying style volume.
The CI biscuit if pretty similar to shovel as is the sperm whale and lost bottom feeder.

Its looking like the pier pony and baked potato.

cheers again for peoples help

How about a lost couch potato or lay z boy?
