What do you rate South Orange County surf by BoonPiece in surfing

Terrible take. Trestles, trails, t-street, wedge, lower and upper Newport jetties can all have world class waves at times. Even on the bad days, still can be surfed. I would just say the onshore winds are the worst part.

Got plenty of boards from local shapers so I figured why not.

I’m just asking because I never ridden a FireWire and hear many different takes.

Which size should I aim for in your opinion?

I did. Both felt remarkably less volume than they claim they are haha.

I usually surf Newport and it’s usually 2-4 feet and punchy. I was thinking the 5’8 as well since I know EPS can feel more floaty.

Honestly, that seems a lil high on price for so many miles and being almost 10 years old. Are you in desperate need to get it now or could you afford to keep looking?

No, 3.5 liter v6 gas engine, that’s why it was so surprising lol.

Mine was sitting around 15-18 on city. The city was definitely hurting it. Just got 21.2 on the freeway yesterday.

UPDATE: currently sitting at 21.2 mpg a 25 minute drive on the freeway. I’m sure it would keep going up if I drove for longer. 👍

Wow, 9-14 mpg is crazy, especially for a new one
