This board makes learning to surf as easy as it could possibly get. Gone are the days when you would have to get a clunky old longboard to teach someone how to surf. All you really need is this board from Chemistry. They call it the Solution and I call it a miracle for beginner surfers. This board features a concave deck, which is smart; this allows the beginner to feel closer to the water and allow them to actually get closer to what it really feels like to ride waves that a more experienced surfer would ride. Let me explain, most beginners grab a longboard and try to stand up on what could only be described as trying to ride your front door in the lineup. For a beginner this makes no sense. They don’t really feel close to the wave or get the proper wave knowledge. You might as well be riding a Slip ‘n Slide because you’re not connecting to the water or the wave. The Solution, appropriately named, fixes this issue with their concave deck and thick forgiving rails. The thick rails get beginners into the wave, but the concave deck allows them to understand the wave by keeping them close to the wave with its dug out middle. It is pretty much the best of both worlds. This board should be on the top of everyone’s list when looking for a board to teach someone how to surf. I would order this board in a standard thruster; I think it could work great for beginners.
Reblogged 7 years ago from www.youtube.comThe JS “Nitro” is the perfect small wave Groveler for waves in the 1-3 foot range.
In this review Noel goes into the details of the attributes on this fun little 5’6″. A good Groveler has low entry rocker and exit rocker says Salas along with it’s wide point front from center to help with paddling and down the line speed.
The outline, tail, and rails suit Noel’s style for surfing small waves with a high performance flare. This little Nitro board has incredible speed because of the generous single to double concaves.
Salas also tried multiple fin options and said the Nitro is very versatile and felt good as a thruster, quad, and surprisingly a Twin Fin with a small trailer fin.
One thing that stands out most about the Nitro is the surfer has the option to surf it fast down the line or tight in the pocket and I cannot say that about all the different Grovelers out there.
Here is what the JS website has to say about the Nitro:
OLD SPARK, NEW FLAME
The new Nitro is by far the flattest entry rocker in an X Series model to date!
Combined with a much fuller nose than other boards in the same category, we have designed a board that allows you to generate and hold speed through flat spots with ease. Along with its deeper concaves for even more lift and liveliness, plus a slightly pulled-in tail outline for extra drive, this pocket rocket is geared towards attacking small sections exactly how you’d mind surf them!
While the rails remain full to help overcome any catches in choppy or lackluster waves, excess foam has been foiled out from other areas to retain overall performance and sensitivity in the tail. In many regions around the world, the Nitro will become a go-to board in terrible to average conditions for any surfer wanting a fast board to keep you in the fastest part of the wave!

I love Quivers concept because they stock boards by Hayden, …Lost, T Patterson and more in a wide variety of dimensions. Members pay a monthly fee and get to switch and swap boards as often as they like – It’s kind of like having a hundred boards in your garage, or like having Netflix for surfboards.
You can find the Album Ledge as featured in this episode at Quivers beginning February 1st.
