Ewen, web guy is posting new UK store list on "where to buy" page now. It will list all the stores with fresh stock. Should be lots of blak boxes (no carbon though, sorry). Go 5'9 if available, might have to call round, Im not sure who has what..JS

? need to know asap please coz getin a board in the next week or so x

any news from the sales guys?

hey js, ah right i see, so mabye i should go a bit bigger.. say a 5'10 or somin? yeah please that would be good thanks :)

Ewen, yep possibly, didn't know ur in the UK, that can change things, heavy wetsuits, wave quality etc. I will have the sales guys get back to you bout UK order. And yep u can get carbon patches.. JS

Thanks, but im scared that could possibly be a bit to small? mabye if i was looking for a 5'9, is there anywere to get them in the UK? posted or anything, and is there anyway to get one with carbon railings?x

Ewen, from that info i'd say a 5'7 or 5'8 - general rule of thumb is 3-4" off your normal shorty for a summer series board.. JS

Hi JS, i am an average standard surfer.. normaly riding a 6ft high performance shortboard, im about 5'11/6ft amd weigh about 68kg what size black box do you recomend? cheers

Im 7'3" and 137kg what size would work for me?

hey js,,im 50kg and 5'5 what size should i get?

Hi Js, I have 6.2 parko model and quad insight mach 4 5.10. I ´m 1.83 83kg. I have a competent level and I´m looking for black box, which is the best size for me?5.9 or 5.10? Could you recomend me other model between blak box 5.9 and parko pro 6.2 or it´s enough with both?

Jason, I am currently riding a 6'2" x 18 5/8" x 2 5/16" JS Jordy model. Absolutely love this board by the way, I think its the best board I have had all time. It definitely has more than enough foam for me at these dims. I am 5'11" and 175 lbs (180cm & 80kgs) I'm a competent surfer and was wondering what size Blak Box I should go for. I am sort of debating the 5'9" and 5'10", but wondering if the 5'9" would be too thin at 2 1/4". I would be riding it in 2-3 foot or mush summer/spring conditions.

Thanks.

Hey JS,

This board looks dynamite (as do all the others). Im looking at a 5'8. Im 5'8, 63kg. On the money, or should I be going smaller? My board for better days is 5'11 x 18 1/4 x 2 1/4. Im in southwest W.A if that makes any difference.

hey man just measured up im shorter then i thought ha only 5'7 and 70 kilo wat yu recomened any different??

Gday there Dyl,

I would look at a BlakBox 5'9 to get you going in average to good waves. The extra width will give you a board that is forgiving in crappy surf, but it will still do the business when the waves turn on.

Cheers, JS

hey bro im 70kilo on the dot and about 5'9 im not a word class surfer just an average weekender that is lookin to get in to it a fair bit wat do you reckon would be good for me ?

Hi GF - For beach break surf I would recommend the Nitro or the BlakBox - the Blakbox is good in anything up to 3ft and the Nitro up to 4ft. I would recommend the 6'0 in either as you can drop 4-6 inches given the added width and thickness. The Blakbox has slightly more foam all round and a lower entry so you will find it a little easier to paddle into waves. Cheers JS

JS- I am 5'10' and 88kg, riding 6'4', 2 3/8, 2 1/2 intermediate- need more float and paddle ease. Looking for an all round performer in up to HH beach break surf. Is it Black Box, Nitro or Kingpin and what size?

Jason, I am 5'6" 145 lbs and am looking at the BlakBox. Not sure what size I should get.I have been surfing for a long time and former sponsored pro team rider. I have been out of the water for quite a while due to a recent battle with cancer, therefor I am out of shape, what would you suggest? Normal shortboard is 5'10". Thanks

Hi LAURENT - I think you are right on the money with the 6'3. Enjoy - JS

Hi JESSIE - Your performance board dimensions and weight are both very similar to Parko and he rides the 5'8. I would suggest stepping it up to the 5'9" but no bigger. Cheers mate. JS

Hi JS. I weigh 82 kgs. I am 5'9. My standard shortboard dimensions are 6'1 by 18 1/2 by 2 5/16. I am a competent surfer. What size black box should I get? Thanks.

Hi Jason, I'm 1.83m and 83 kg. Intermediate level currently surfing around Lennox Head. Ridding regular shortboard 6'4x19'x2.5 Buzz with a bit of extra foam... Considering blak box 6'0 or 6'1... What do you think? Cheers

Hi JESSIE - absolutely, as long as you don't stray too far from the suggested dimensions. JS

Hello JS, I'm 1.89m and 84kg. I'm intermediate level. My curent board is shortboard 6'6x19x23/8, round tail, full concave. i'm looking for a board for small beach break waves. I'm about to order a blak box 6'3. do you think it's ok?
thanks

P.S can you order custom blackbox's that are not in the dimensions listed on the blackbox webpage?

Hi JS.
I weigh 82 kgs. I am 5'9. My standard shortboard dimensions are 6'1 by 18 1/2 by 2 5/16. I am a competent surfer.
What size black box should I get?
Thanks.

Hi TUCKET - If the waves you ride are generally under 4ft and you want a board thats going to help generate speed, easy to paddle into waves yet super responsive then I would be going for the BlakBox, it has the flattest rocker out of our whole range. Given your weight I would be jumping on the 6'0. Jordy and Luke both ride the 6'0 and they are 185lbs and 200lbs respectively, so you sit somewhere in the middle. JS

Hi JS, I live on the East Coast, USA. We get small, soft waves all the time. I'm 5'9" and 195 lbs. I think the Blak Box will be a perfect board for the waves we get, but should I go for the 5'10" or the 6'0"?? Or something else?

Jason, Thanks for the quick reply! Could you compare the volume of the 5'6" Blak Box to the 5'6" VX5. Wish your sight listed volume of your boards, some of us live in parts of the world that we can't get our hands on the actual boards prior to purchase and depend on as much possible info available via the web. Thanks

Hi GT - The BlakBox is slightly more buoyant due the the foam distribution. It has a flatter deck than the Nitro and although the Nitro is 2 1/4, the thickness tapers off to the rails. The Nitro in 2 1/8 yet maintains this thickness the whole way across. JS

Jason, I am presently riding a 5'6" Nitro quad and a 5'10" Bruce small wave, I am looking to get a Blak Box. Was wondering how much more volume the stock BB has compared to the stock Nitro. Looking for a bit more flotation to compensate for the added weight of a wettie.

Hi JOSH - Given how light you are I would be going for a 5'4 BlakBox. Parko is riding it as a 3 fin setup using Luke Egans LE-3 Kinetik Racing Fin. The board would be super fun for small bondi but the BlakBox is limited to surf up to 3 foot. I wouldn't ride it in anything bigger than what Joel is in the video. If you want a board thats suitable for all conditions thrown at you look into our new Konfusion model. JS

hi im 5'8 and 50 kg what board size should i go for. In the video the board was also quad? my main question is i surf bondi and i am wondering if it could be used as an every day board because i idon't have a board for every condition. please answere my question thanks josh

Hi UK DAVE, sounds like the board is suited to what you'll be riding. Basically, the board is designed for the days when your standard board just won't generate the speed you are after. In saying that, in good conditions 4+ the Blakbox will have too much foam in the tail during your bottom turns and will tend to slide out. Perfect for square bottom turns and super responsive in sloppy weak conditions, not for the epic days.

Hi Jason, I'm considering a Blak Box, and although it'll be used for average beach breaks most of the time, I'm interested to hear what the limits of this board might be. Many thanks.

Hi RALPH
id suggest the 5'10 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/8 or the 5'11 if you dont want to go too short.

Hey JS,
I'm 5'10 about 165 lbs and old :) (36 years)
intermediate level, surf mostly beachbreaks here in huntington and also surf trestles a few times a week. waves kinda on the softer side.
Good wave thruster is a 6'2x19x2.38 and also a 6'0x19.25x2.44 lost sd2.

Hi Ralph
could you let me know your height weight and standard board dims. also the kind of surf you want this board for.
JS

hey Phil,
i would go for the 5'8 if you have to choose.

Hey Jason,
I have a 5'10" blakbox and love it!! top 2 boards of all time for small to medium waves. What would be your suggestion for a better wave board that's a good compliment to the blakbox?

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Ralph

Thanks Jason, the 5'9 sounds ideal but I think you only get a choice of 5'8 or 5'10 in europe, they don;t seem to import all the sizes. The 5'10 is the safe option but I'm worried it might have a bit too much volume and be too boaty, possibly the 5'8 a bit too little volume. Tricky for you to say but what would be your go?

hi js!i´m 77kg and 5`11 tall.what size would I need for the blak box ?tanks

Hi Phil
id suggest the 5'8 or 5'9 Blak Box. they are both 19 1/2 x 2 1/4. if you have any other questions let me know.
Regards
JS
