Hi JS, I'm looking for a good all-around daily driver. I'm 5'11 tall and about 100 - 105 kgs. I surf mostly beachies around San Diego. I had a 6'6 x 20 x 2 5/8 ...lost sd2 that was too long. I like the looks of the Mystery, Kingpin, and Modco, but probably need custom dims. What size/model would you recommend? Thanks!

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 12:43 PM

Hey, Kingpin or Mystery will give you the most adaptability that's needed around there. Kingpin especially because of its versatile 5 fin setup. But if you like the more conventional boards Mystery might feel more comfortable. Hope this helps,JS

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 12:44 PM

try a 6'2

Hey JS I'm looking to buy a mystery and was hoping for some dimensions help. I'm 5'6" and weigh 120 lbs. my standard shorty is around 5'7" and a half x 17 3/4. What would my dims be in mystery sizing? thanks in advance

JS commented on 06-Mar-2011 07:25 AM

Griffon, will be a custom 5’5 x 18 1/8 x 2 1/8 - 2 1/16. JS

griffon commented on 07-Mar-2011 05:00 AM

hey sorry for this but i already ordered my board and i went 5'6" x 18 1/4 x 2 1/16. Do you think this will be a big difference? (I am actually 5'7", not 5'6".)

JS commented on 07-Mar-2011 02:30 PM

Griffon, I wouldn't worry, If your normal board is 5'7 1/2 you will probably be fine. I always ride mystery 2" shorter than my normal board, its your weight that's more important... JS

griffon commented on 09-Mar-2011 09:39 AM

Thanks JS. You don't know how relieved i am now. Keep up the blog its sick

Tristan commented on 16-Mar-2011 07:23 PM

Hey JS Im thinking of buying a mystery im 6'0 and 70kg what board dimensions do you recomend. Cheers

JS commented on 21-Mar-2011 09:11 AM

Hi Tristan, I would recommend 5'10 x 19 x 2 3/8. JS

Hi JS, I was looking for a board to fill a bit of a gap. I'm 6'2" about 90kgs and a solid intermediate surfer - I have a merrick 6'0 POD that i ride most days in Sydney and Occy's 6'6" (which I love) when it gets 4ft+. I've been looking at The Mystery
do you think it would be a good choice for me? And what size would you suggest? Thanks. - it's really cool you take time to answer all these questions. A

js commented on 27-Oct-2011 12:05 PM

the 6,2 mystery sounds good the volume is 32.6 liters which is a little more than your 6,6 occy....more floation for slightly smaller surf and the mystery is a good alrounder

Congrats to Jack freestone who just become the new World Junior Champion over the weekend. Making him and Parko the only 2 ozzy's to do it, which could be saying good things about jacks future. Heres a little mash up of Jack over the last few months riding mainly MYSTERY, the board he won the title on.

Congrats Jack! The Mystery looks like a fun board. What size would you recommend for someone 180cm and 80kgs? I currently ride a 6'2" x 18 5/8" x 2 5'16" Jordy Model and love it.

JS commented on 24-Jan-2011 11:14 AM

Hi Mike,

I would look at something similar to what Parko rides in the Mystery, as he is similar height & weight to yourself. Take a look at the 5'10 19 2 3/8

Cheers
JS

Sam commented on 25-Jan-2011 03:08 PM

Hi JS! WHat size would you recommend for me? I'm 5'6 1/2" , and weigh 130, although still growing. I am still trying to find what my standard shortboard size is, but i currently ride a 5'7" x 17 3/4" x 2.23(?)" Really like how this board looks for high performance surfing less than ideal waves.

Sam Horan commented on 25-Jan-2011 03:10 PM

Oh and my mistake up there, I weigh 130 lbs.

ralph commented on 17-Feb-2011 07:14 PM

Hi JS,
how would you size the mystery in relation to the blakbox? I have a 5'10 blakbox in stock dims and it's the best board I've ever ridden!! Keep up with the awesome shapes.

Cheers,
Ralph

JS commented on 18-Feb-2011 09:45 AM

Hi Ralph, Mystery is an x-series model which makes it a cross between a summer groveler (like blak box) and a conventional high performance board. We recommend you ride summer series boards up to 4" shorter than your performance & X series around 2" shorter. eg: 5'10 blak box 6'0 mystery 6'2 performance board. Its a basic formula but works really well in most cases. JS

Ralph commented on 20-Feb-2011 06:28 PM

Thank you JS! Makes perfect sense. Love all the new models. You have the best boards in the business!

Cheers,
Ralph

Tristan WILSHIRE commented on 28-Feb-2011 06:39 PM

I can't decide whether to get the mystery in the 6'1 or the 6'2. Can you tell me what the volume is of each??

Joe commented on 15-Mar-2011 07:14 PM

Hey JS, just wondering if the mystery is suitable for an average surfer??? i want it for 1-3 foot but worried the lower rails might bring me undone?

JS commented on 21-Mar-2011 08:32 AM

Hey Joe, the rail isn't too low that it will cause you any problems. Its probably a good option cause it's a little fuller in outline than the hi performance models but will still perform like one. JS

Joseph Anderson commented on 21-Jul-2011 12:12 PM

What model surf board is jack riding 3mins into the clip?

Luca commented on 02-Apr-2012 09:03 AM

The cat is out of the bag!

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
