R.I.P Andy Irons

Saturday, November 06, 2010

It is with absolute shock and pain to know that our dear friend Andy Irons will not be with us any more. Andy was an exceptional human. He was always full of emotion, weather it was the fire that burned into him while competing or having a laugh and good time while free surfing or just hanging out. He always got so excited about new boards. He wore his heart on his sleeve and always told it the way it was, good or bad.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Irons family, Andy's wife Lyndie and all Andy's friends, our thoughts are with you.

Andy, if your up there reading this, we love you and will always ride with you in spirit.

AI WINS ON KONFUSION

Monday, September 06, 2010

Big Congrats to AI from the whole JS crew, there's allot of love out there for AI and his comeback campaign. We been watching him pretty close the last 6 months and reckon this could just be the beginning.
Take a closer look at the Konfusion - the equipment of choice throughout the Tahiti contest and AI's comback in general.
Also the the LE fins mentioned (by Kinetik Racing).

RIP BRA!

RIP Andy. One of the only guys that could actually rattle Slaters cage. True all round surfer.

Jérôme commented on 05-Nov-2010 07:19 PM

Thank you Andy , for than you give to the world surfing! See ya for sure... RIP Brother.

Jacques commented on 06-Nov-2010 08:39 AM

Shame on Js industries which didn't pay tribute to AI.

JS commented on 08-Nov-2010 08:27 AM

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. We've been deeply affected here at JS, as everyone has worldwide. Andy has touched everyone which truly shows what an incredible human being he was. The skies opened up and Huey presented us a perfect day for the paddle out on saturday at Snapper Rocks, it was such a moving yet amazing experience. Thanks again, and Jacques really not the attitude we need during this time mate. All the best - JS

josh commented on 22-Nov-2010 03:26 PM

First up RIP Andy, cant wait to get my AI board.

2nd, Jacques, the boys from JS knew Andy better than you did and have paid their respects int their own ways.
your a douche bag.

lourenco commented on 07-Jan-2011 02:12 AM

Astro Boy commented on 20-Aug-2010 11:37 AM

That Astronaut rips. I need that booooaaarrrrdd!

kev commented on 24-Aug-2010 12:13 PM

Now I ve got to choose between the blakbox, kingpin and konfusion. Is the konfusion a board that you ride sized down??
Im 5'6" 66kg..what size konfusion do you recommend..

tassieloc commented on 25-Aug-2010 04:48 AM

JS - Do the BlakBox, Kingpin, and Konfusion work together as a mini-quiver, or is the Kingpin/Konfusion a bit too much overlap?

Also can the Konfusion be ordered in round or swallow tails without hurting the integrity of the design?

Aaron commented on 25-Aug-2010 12:51 PM

How do you size this board?? Just a reg. Shortboard? Or is it ridden a little smaller? What's the dims on the one Andy is riding?

Anonymous commented on 27-Aug-2010 04:27 PM

my normal board is 5'11, I currently ride a 5'6 diamond tail, I think from the specs I would need a 5'8 maybe 5'10 konfusion, I really want to order one.

JS commented on 27-Aug-2010 06:16 PM

Aaron - You want to ride the Konfusion 1-2 inches shorter than your standard shortboard, the purpose of this board is to offer high performance with a degree of forgiveness due to the slight extra width and thickness. Its designed to be the board for all conditions. JS

Todd Horton commented on 28-Aug-2010 06:08 AM

JS - I have the 5'11 18 1/4 2 1/4 Parko which is my everyday go to, how would this board compare and what concave ect does this board have?

Golla commented on 29-Aug-2010 08:22 AM

Hi JS - Can this board be ordered as a round-tail or swallow or only with a squash?

Phil Byrne commented on 30-Aug-2010 10:36 AM

Hi JS,

just about to order a nitro. I'm 5'10'' and 85kg. What size would you suggest.

Also, I crush my boards pretty quickly, so what glassing can you suggest to make it strong but not too heavy.

Thanks mate

JS commented on 31-Aug-2010 09:03 AM

Hi TASSIELOC - yes you could say the three act as a mini quiver, covering you for all conditions. There is no overlap between the Kingpin and the Konfusion as they both offer unqiue characteristics. The Kingpin is more of an inbetween board. Half way between summer groveler and high performance wave, whereas the Konfusion is a modern day high performance board. You can definitely order the Konfusion with a different tail but keep in mind it will offer a different style of surfing. JS

JS commented on 31-Aug-2010 09:05 AM

Hi GOLLA - yes the Konfusion can be ordered in different tail types if you wish. JS

JS commented on 31-Aug-2010 09:12 AM

Hi PHIL - You are almost the exact same specs as Occy, although you may have an inch or so on him in height. He rides a 5'10" in the Nitro and I would recommend the same for you. As for glass jobs you are best going a 4x6 on the deck and a 4 on the bottom. This is the next step up from 4x4x4 so will offer more strength on the deck without being too heavy. JS

JS commented on 31-Aug-2010 10:44 AM

Hi TODD - The major difference between a signature pro model and the Konfusion is that the Konfusion offers a degree of forgiveness due to its curvier outlines, It has a slightly boxier rail compared to the Parko and this is designed to stop catching during turns in the softer conditions. Its basically a high performance board that has a bit more meat so that its suitable for the smaller gutless days when your Parko might not be generating the speed you require. It has a flat entry slight single to double under front foot to deeper douple through the fins with a slight single out the tail. JS

clarke commented on 02-Sep-2010 09:23 PM

JS- Im about to press the button on either a 5'11 konfusion or a 5'8" kingpin. Can you please give me the volume of each of these. Thanks

Pete Major commented on 05-Sep-2010 07:17 AM

JS., What size Konfusion would Luke ride. Can I request S cloth, glassing.

Thanks, Pete

MaxC commented on 05-Sep-2010 05:08 PM

Hi JS, im 6'0 and 68kg, i normall ride a swallow tail 6'2 19 1/2 2 1/4, im keen on the KONFUSION, either the 5'11 18 5/8 2 1/4 or the 6'0 18 3/4 2 5/16 and the KINGPIN 5'10 19 1/4 2 3/8 or the 5'11 19 1/4 2 3/8.
which board and dimension would you prefer?

Regards,
MaxC

Daniel commented on 06-Sep-2010 07:41 PM

HI JS, this konfusion board looks awesome. I was even wondering before it came out, what board AI was riding on his I SURF BECAUSE flick...now, i got my answer.
Anyway, I'm 5'9", 84 kg(bit overweight), riding a 6'1" 18 1/2, x 2 1/4 Combat, which goes allright in waves with a bit of push behind it, but def not a good paddling board or small wave board. I was keen on getting a 5'8 NItro as a small wave board, and keep the combat as my day to day...but now, with the konfusion released, which one do you recommend and what dimension should i ride the Konfusion??
Will i be able to have fun on those real small days, at the goldie beachies with the konfusion?
Been surfing for 14 years now just so you know.
Tks heaps mate
Dan

JS commented on 07-Sep-2010 12:05 PM

Hi DAN - I would be going for the 6'0" Konfusion, you'll find with the extra width and thickness and flatter entry that it will be much easier paddling into the waves...however...the Konfusion is designed for all conditions, crappy beachies to pumping points so with that in mind there will be some crossover between your Combat and the Konfusion. If you want a board for goldie beachies when its gutless then I'd be trying out the Nitro for a super responsive ride. JS

Todd Horton commented on 09-Sep-2010 06:19 AM

JS - Board sounds great, can't wait to give it a go! When can we expect to see these bad boys show up in California? Thanks!

kev commented on 09-Sep-2010 04:59 PM

I have a 6'0 x 18 1/2 x 2 1/4 combat that works well for me. How would that compare to a konfusions in stock dims?? It seems that the konfusion is almost a replacement for the combat model, would that be a fair call?

JS commented on 10-Sep-2010 09:49 AM

Hey TODD - Boards have been on your shores for quite some time. We have a west coast agent over there, head to our homepage and click where to buy, then under west coast USA you will see Steves cell, give him a call and ask him for your nearest JS stockist. We're going to be expanding in your side of the world so keep your eyes open. JS

JS commented on 10-Sep-2010 10:20 AM

Hi KEV - not quite. The combat is a much more refined performance shortboard geared towards quality waves. The Konfusion is what we're calling the modern day shortboard, it has a slightly curvier outline, a touch more width and a unique concave which means you can drop an inch and have a board suitable for 1-6ft surf. The added width and hip composition allow a tight turning arc. The Konfusion will have a flatter entry allowing you to paddle into the gutless waves a lot easier. Hope this helps - JS

Steve commented on 10-Sep-2010 02:14 PM

Hi Todd- Send me an e-mail. stevemeidroth@msn.com I'd be more than happy to send you a stocklist.-Steve

kev commented on 10-Sep-2010 08:21 PM

thanks for the reply JS. Ive already got a great groveller that i love surfing in waves up to 3 ft, so I'm looking for a good wave replacement for the 6'0" combat. Im keen to go shorter and thats why the konfusion caught my interest. but maybe id be better with a 6'0" bruce or parko. would either of these be a similar volume to the combat.

Steve commented on 11-Sep-2010 08:51 AM

Hi All- If you are in the SD are tomorrow: JS and Parko will be at Surfride in Solana from 3:00-5:00. Come by and meet Jason & Parko and learn more about all the JS Surfboards.

MaxC commented on 14-Sep-2010 12:37 PM

Hi JS, im 6'0 and 68kg, i normall ride a swallow tail 6'2 19 1/2 2 1/4 at the gold coast on days when it is sloppy and when it is pumping, im keen on the KONFUSION, either the 5'11 18 5/8 2 1/4 or the 6'0 18 3/4 2 5/16 and the KINGPIN 5'10 19 1/4 2 3/8 or the 5'11 19 1/4 2 3/8. which board and dimension would you suggest fit me better?
Regards, MaxC

Jeremy commented on 16-Sep-2010 08:26 AM

ok guys, im riding a 5'9 blakbox, and a 6'2 jordy when it gets good. I'm 6'0ft-160 to 165lbs. Am i looking in the right direction when looking at the Konfusion in the 6'0x18-3/4x 2-5/16??

JS commented on 16-Sep-2010 08:38 AM

Hi JEREMY - You've made the right call with the 6'0 Konfusion. We generally say 1-2 inches shorter but your not a very heavy guy so I'd say the 6'0 would be the right one for you. Cheers mate - JS

Pat commented on 17-Sep-2010 12:26 PM

Hey JS, what dimension Konfusion would you recommend for 5'10 at 179lbs. Thanks for your time.

JS commented on 17-Sep-2010 12:31 PM

Hey PAT - Depends what you usually ride mate. Let me know the dimensions of your standard shortboard and your ability level and I'll let you know what I think. JS

Pat commented on 18-Sep-2010 07:08 AM

Hey JS I'm riding a 5'10 19 2.3 wide outline local custom kinda based off the dumpster diver. It works alright but I could use a tad more float for Florida waves with not a lot power. I haven't really been able to find a perfect shortboard for me and the Konfusion description is exactly what I'm looking for. I like using one board for everything. I'd say my ability is little below advanced. Thanks for you time.

Pat commented on 18-Sep-2010 08:39 AM

Also what board is Jordy riding at Lower's, he is destroying right now.

JS commented on 20-Sep-2010 11:44 AM

Hi PAT - firstly, Jordy was riding our new MYTERY model, which will be released in around a months time 6'2 x 19 1/2 x 2 5/8. Secondly, can you please let me know your height and weight and I can give you a more accurate answer as to what Konfusion to look at. It's definitely designed as a 1 board suits all concept so it sounds like what your after. Get back to me with those details. Cheers JS

Pat commented on 20-Sep-2010 03:17 PM

My height and weight are 5'10 179lbs. They were in the posts above. Thanks

Darren commented on 21-Sep-2010 11:53 AM

Js,

I have a Nitro..5'6 and also a 5'8 XR which I love,I am short guy 5'7 155lbs.What I want is a board for REALLY good waves that are really hollow for a trip upcoming.The waves probably will be anywhere from head high to 2ft overhead but have a pretty steep drop with hard offshores.Konfusion??Wait for the mystery model??Trip is not til March...Had a Parko small wave 6'0 that was too big for me even in overhead surf.

Darren commented on 23-Sep-2010 09:46 AM

Actually what board has the most nose rocker??Refer to post on 21 Sept-2010-11:53a.m.

Kev commented on 05-Oct-2010 08:08 PM

Js,
I'm excited about the konfusion, but undecided on 5'11" or 5'10" in stock dims. Currently on a 6'0" x 18 1/2 x
2 1/4 combat, wondering how either of these would compare in float to it. I want to go as short as possible but don't want to have less float than the combat, what do you recommend.
I'm 167cm & 67kg

JS commented on 07-Oct-2010 03:59 PM

Hi Kev - good question. If you want to go as short as possible then I think the 5'10 will be fine + you are very light. The Konfusion foam distribution is flat across the deck to lower rails, this is designed specifically for flotation with ease of turning and also for a lower centre of gravity. Any other questions let me know. JS

Roger commented on 09-Oct-2010 11:47 AM

Hi JS, i started surfing a year ago and i am currently riding a JS Nitro 6.6. I wanna move to shorter and more responsive board. I can confidently hold the board on the wall and do turns. I am considering buying a konfusin or king pin in 6.2/6.3 dimensions. do u think that would suit me? i surf straddie most times. thanks, roger

Roger commented on 09-Oct-2010 03:33 PM

i am 183cm tall and about 85kg

Will Robertson commented on 14-Oct-2010 08:43 PM

g'day JS - i like the sound of the konfusion. I generally ride a 6'2" or 6'3" x 19 x 2 1/2 type of thing, recently moved onto a bit more volume in my boards thanks to the influence of bigger dudes like jordy and am loving it. I'm 6'3" and 83kg, what kind of dim's would you recommend for the konfusion? would i get away with the stock 6'2 or would it be worth ordering one with 2 1/2 volume. Also - could you tell me about the concave?

Robert S. commented on 17-Oct-2010 02:50 PM

Hi JS,
I have 1 5'10x19.75x2.38 blakbox and love it! Thinking that the next logical step-up for bigger/better days would be the konfusion? How would you size these in reference to the blakbox? I currently do not have a standard hp shorty besides the blakbox.

Cheers,
Robert

Roger commented on 18-Oct-2010 10:42 AM

Hi Js,

bought a 6.2 kingpin and i luv it!!!

Greg Nunan commented on 19-Oct-2010 08:25 AM

HI JS, Hows the board Jordy was riding our new MYTERY model, 6'2 x 19 1/2 x 2 5/8 going?

JS commented on 19-Oct-2010 03:13 PM

Hey Robert,
Stoked to hear you love your BlakBox. Yeah your not wrong, the Konfusion will allow you to surf the bigger days yet still has enough foam for the weaker gutless days. If your on a 5'10 Blakbox I would suggest the 6'1 or 6'2 Konfusion. Cheers JS

JS commented on 19-Oct-2010 03:23 PM

Hi Will - You will get away with the 6'2 for sure. The foam distribution is a little different in the Konfusion as the foam remains consistent across the deck, rather than tapering off. This means we can drop the thickness a touch. The concave is single to early double to single out the tail. Cheers -JS

phil commented on 27-Oct-2010 10:51 PM

Hey Jason im 5'11 165 and ride a 6'2 Bruce for when its good down here in Encinitas, CA. Im looking for a board for when its small out here at our points and beach breaks, would you recommend the Blak Box or the Konfusion and what size for both

JS commented on 01-Nov-2010 08:56 AM

Hey Phil - It depends if you want a board purely for the small stuff or a board that is going to double as a small waves but also handle the bigger conditions. The Blakbox holds in anything up to 3ft and I would recommend a 5'8 for you given the info you've provided. The Konfusion I would recommend a 6'0. Cheers JS

David commented on 03-Nov-2010 05:24 AM

Hi, just bought a 5´11 Black Box and a 6´3 Konfusion at ET surfshop LA. I´ll ride them in the Canary Islands, where I live. Konfusion comes with Futures. Could you help me choose the right ones for this model and weight (175lbs)
Thanks

Kasper commented on 03-Nov-2010 08:11 PM

I have been surfing my new Konfusion for the last few sessions, it is really quick and responsive and easy to air. I am regretting getting a 5'10 (all they had in stock) which seems to be just a little to big, but putting in some fcs pc k2.1 fins compensates for this a bit. It is a sick board, goes absolutely nuts in wedging shore breaks.

Riley commented on 04-Nov-2010 06:02 AM

Hey i was wondering what size Konfusion i would ride, im 5'6" 130lbs and i usually ride a 5'7"x 173/4x 2 1/16,,, thanks for any imput

kev commented on 04-Nov-2010 08:49 AM

Hey Kasper,

Whats your height and weight? why doe it feel too big? too much float?
thanks

Nick commented on 05-Nov-2010 05:44 AM

Hey JS

I can't decide between the 6'3" and 6'2" konfusion. I am 6'2" 88kg. And I usually ride a 6'3" or 6'4" 19" 2.5"
Will there be THAT much difference between the 6'2" and 6'3" konfusion?
Also I ride a 6'1" blakbox, for reference.
Which one do you think I should get?

JS commented on 11-Nov-2010 10:49 AM

Hey Riley - You could definintely go a 5'4 mate. JS

Riley commented on 11-Nov-2010 12:04 PM

sick ima get one forsure considering I managed to break my two go to boards yesterday

blake commented on 23-Nov-2010 06:44 AM

I normally ride a 6'6" x 19x 2.5 in Oregon. Not sure if I should get the 6'3" or 6'4" confusion. I weigh about 184 lbs. Would like to get the 6'3". Is there much difference as far as wave catching?

JS commented on 24-Nov-2010 09:33 AM

Hi Blake,

I recommend sizing down 1-2" on a Konfusion from your normal board. The dimensions of the Konfusion allow for extra paddle power also. Lots of love for the Konfusion - glad you are considering jumping on one.

Cheers, JS

Aaron Hoffner commented on 25-Nov-2010 02:12 PM

Jason, am looking at ordering a new board . What's the difference between the cv8 and the konfusion? I had the the cv8 really liked it ,but thinking of getting the konfusion and wondering how they would differ in performance and ride? Also are soar glass on fins available for custom boards made here in the states (California) and are they using the same glassing schedule for
the fins here? Seems like all the
boards I got from you that were made in aus. had a half a patch which I like,
and most guys over here in the states
but a full patch all the up making it to
stiff. Is this true? I just want to make sure it comes out like the boards I got from aus. thanks Aaron

mike gillham commented on 30-Nov-2010 09:41 AM

How does the konfusion compare to say the parko for looseness/responsive feeling? AI loved a loose board so is the konfusion pretty loose/turn easily and quickly? Already have one on order but curiosity is killing me. Used to ride only channel islands....now i am only riding JS. Can't wait for I am red!!!

Matt commented on 14-Dec-2010 03:50 PM

Hi Jason,

I'm considering buying a Konfusion but I'm not sure what size.

I'm 88 Kgs, 31 yrs, intermediate (been surfing a lot in the past 2 years, a bunch of Indo trips etc), live in Sydney.

For my "normal" shorty I've been riding the Chunky 6'4 Occy (19.5 x 2 5/8) this is definitely too boaty for me now that I've gotten better and have lost 5 kgs.

I jumped on a mates 6'4 Jordy (19' x 2.5') it was really nice when I was on the wave, but probably taking off a bit late / not getting into the wave early enough due to the much lower vol than I'm used to.

I've been riding a 6'2' x 19.75' x 2.5 Insight Penn Designs "Zero" round tail for small waves ( 3.5 foot and under waves)

So what size Konfusion do you think I'd enjoy for a nice all rounder board?

cheers mate!

Matt

Mattie commented on 14-Dec-2010 06:50 PM

Hey JS, just wondering at 5'8 and 65kg what size konfusion do you think would be good for me? I'm 26 and a good paddler but only intermediate skill level. Definately have room to grow.

Mike Gillham commented on 22-Dec-2010 12:05 PM

My local shop just got my konfusion in. Picking it up tommorow. All I can say is this board looks SICK!!! No wonder AI loved it so much. We will have a fun swell on friday so I will let you guys know how it rides hopefully. Really a great looking shred sled.Stoked!!!

C commented on 29-Dec-2010 01:11 AM

Hey JS, happy holidays.

Just wondering about getting a konfusion for myself. 5'9, 62kg. Normal hpsb is 5'11 or 6 x 18.25 x 2.25, pro model (dude who has a few titles under his bald head).

5'10? Cheers, really looking forward to copping one of these!

Bretto commented on 14-Jan-2011 01:56 PM

Hey all. I just bought a 6'2" Konfusion and have to say it's the best board I've ridden in 35 years of surfing. Get one if you can, you'll be stoked.

lourenco commented on 17-Jan-2011 04:58 PM

whats your weight?Im 6 feet tal and 182 ponds tinking in gething a 6.2 konfusion or 6.3 jordy smith, dont know if the konfusion will foat me since i use a 6/5/4 wetsuit in winter, what you think?

Pieter commented on 18-Jan-2011 07:54 AM

Hi JS, i'm konfused
:-) so many nice boards. I would love to get a JS board..konfusion seems great, mystery aswell. Could you give me advise which one and which size suits me best? I surf mostly beachbreaks up to 6ft in Portugal. I am 1.90m tall and 90 kg.I surf a 6.3 19 2.5 tokoro but I would like to have a bit more volume for easier take off. many thanks in advance!

Mike Gillham commented on 19-Jan-2011 02:21 PM

Had my konfusion out 3 times now in not so great conditions and it has worked great. Really responsive,great paddling, fast. Really all positives for sure. Really want to turn it loose in some good surf so it can really shine. Then I will dub it greatest board ever. It is on its way.

Bretto commented on 19-Jan-2011 03:01 PM

Hey Lourenco. I'm 6' and 75 kgs. Floats me fine and paddles really well into waves. The thick wetsuit won't make any difference imo.

chris ando commented on 25-Jan-2011 07:58 PM

Just wanted to add that I picked up a new Konfusion last week and it is the sweetest board that I have ever ridden.

I have surfed a range of different boards, including firewires, compsands and different PUs but there is definitely something special about this board.

I am 85kg, just under six foot tall and competent (i surf a couple of times a week) but no where near one of the better surfers in the local line up. I got a 6'2 which feels perfect.

cheers JS love your work

tim commented on 24-Feb-2011 01:57 PM

HeY JS I was wondering I just got myself a 5'10 18 1/2 2 3/16 round tail konfusion works insane...I want a board for the bigger meatier days and i was wondering if the konfusion would be the right board for that if I got like a 6'1" 18 1/4 2 3/16 your thoughts?

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 01:57 PM

Hey,
Out of all the x series models Konfusion is one off the best performers in the bigger stuff but if you have one I would get something a little more specific like a Modco or forget me not. JS

Brett commented on 07-Mar-2011 10:38 AM

Hey, JS i live on the east coast of the carolinas . I m 5'8" and 155 to 160lbs. Just want an board i can ride in the chop slop and when good swell comes.what do you recommend, and what size?

JS commented on 07-Mar-2011 02:25 PM

Hey Brett, big call to ask for a board for chop slop to good swell!? I would usually say an x-series model but if the slop is bad you might be best with a BLAK BOX. hope this helps. JS

Dan K commented on 18-Mar-2011 04:30 PM

Hey JS. About to purchase a Konfusion. Current shortboard is 6'2" and I also ride a blak box 5'10". I weight 75kg and I'm 175cm. Heading to Indo in June & Maldives in July. What size Konfusion would best suit for the trip but also back home in normal conditions. Cheers.

I trying to figure out if I should get the 6' 1" or 6' 2" Konfusion. What are the volumes in litres of those boards? Or which one is closer to 29 - 29.5? Thanks.

Aloha JS, u r ledg., thank you.. anyway..

How much wider is the Konfusion's nose/tail width than a standard shorty?
My current shortboard is 6.3 x 19 x 2.25, works good in 3-6 foot hawaiian. I'm tall and lanky. My step-down boards are my all-a-rounders. I want to order the Konfusion as that. say 6.1 or 6.1 1/2, and should i go wider or keep it at 19", or 19 1/8" or 1/4". What if i want to get the tail pulled in too, like Jacks boards are lookin.

hey js - i ride a 6.0" 18 7/8 x 2 1/4 flyer from ci i small conditions -. i am 171cm and 69kg and. i wanna buy a konfusion - but don't know if a 6.0" or a 6.1". would i have some difficulties on the 6.1" in bigger conditions because of the xtra volume?
i think the 6.0" could maybe be to small for me? thank for your help.

hey JS, just wondering if you can order JS' with future fin boxes rather than FCS?

soro commented on 04-May-2011 11:59 PM

hey JS. I'm 32, 5'11 and 75kg, currently riding a 6'2 x 19 1/4 x 2 3/8 swallow tail. Looking for a rounded square or rounded pin to handle good indo waves (bukit, lombok, sumbawa). Would you recommend Konfusion or Forget Me Not, and what dimensions - i
was thinking 6'2 or 6'3. Thanks mate.

Hey JS looking at the konfusion as my next board... I'm coming off a Flyer that's 5'10" x 18 3/4 x 2 1/4. I want something that's a bit pared down...I'm like 5'6 125 lbs. Should I go for the 5'10 or the 5'9 konfusion?

Juan commented on 28-Jun-2011 08:04 AM

I'm 5'7 1/2, 144 lb I bought a Konfusion 5'10 and it's too big for me. Any takers? I posted it on craigslist, Los Angeles area.

There’s been heaps of talk about AI and his stepped up, 3rd place performance at the 6.0 Trestles WQS last week on some mystery board of JS.

So to save any Konfusion we thought we better fill you in a little.

In down time AI has been surfing and training on the Goldie with Parko, LE and JS which of course involves trying a few of the boys Traktors, and one in particular, that has got him freakin’. Were not gonna give the the secret up but we can tell you its called KONFUSION. A little something JS shaped for himself and was sitting pretty in a small pile of R&D boards to be released next summer. AI rode the un-badged sample, and wouldn’t give it back.

He loved it so much JS had to make more the same to take to the US, unaware that everyone, in particular AI would make such a fuss about it.

Looks like this thing could be available sooner than expected.. So keep an eye out for it.
Coming to a store near you...

If you havent seen it already, check AI surfing KONFUSION at 6.0 lowers Pro..

Go to Day 5 - "WQS QF Heat 3" on the side bar to watch Andy's Heat
