 Hey, welcome to the Surf Station Board Reviews. Today, we are going to be comparing and contrasting the remix and the rookie. These are two boards that I've been riding personally. A lot of this is my personal remix. The remix comes from remixing the outline of the rookie, which is a little bit narrower on either end and has a little bit more rocker. Basically, they take this board, squash it down just a little bit, add a little bit of volume on the rail, widen the tail template a little bit, and at the same time flatten a little bit of the rocker. The difference in the two directly from looking at them is the tail template. I was showing you the remix before, this is how narrow the rookie tail template is. It's basically the same curve, same outline shape stretched out. Also, there's a little bit less rocker throughout the board, making the remix a bit quicker and softer served. The rookie is going to turn a little bit more abruptly, got a narrower nose, a little bit more rocker, but they're very closely related. The curve between your feet, which is the most important part of the board in terms of familiarity, is the same. They have a very similar bottom contour, which is a relatively shallow single concave until you get to the tail and then it scoops out more in the rookie, whereas the remix flattens out a little bit. Here in Florida, I ride the remix all the time as long as it's waist higher bigger. My rookie works, but I know when to ride it. Generally in some steeper surf, a little bit more top to bottom surfing. The rookie is still a very valid board for a wide variety of conditions, but the remix just makes it a little easier to ride in not the best conditions. Wind swell, slightly softer waves, the remix excels. I find myself riding this board a lot and have ridden it a lot in the Caribbean and also here in Florida. The rookie is my standard shortboard dimensions, which happen to be 5'10", 18", 1'4", 2", and 1'8". My remix is an inch shorter and I'm 1 1⁄16". I just felt having a little bit more volume for Florida is never a bad thing. I'm about 5'10", and 1'50". So these boards work great. They're a perfect two board quiver for a pretty mellow trip. For the average surfer, for the advanced surfer, they're wonderful boards.
