- WOOLY TV / JS FMN2 Review
The JS FMN2 is a board that is meant to be ridden when the waves are on. From chest high to triple overhead, if the waves have good shape, the FMN2 is your go to for ultimate control.

nice to see a review that isn't just a read through of the website specs - thanks wooly, helped me to decide on a 6'6"
6’6” FMN is one of my favourite boards ever!
@@WoolyTV Hey Wooly havent quite pulled the trigger - just want to clarify, are you talking about the fmn2 step up or the fmn2 round tail in this review? Thanks!
@@blitzthesuperdoggsp2012 hi mate. It’s just the standard one not the step up. 🤙
Sik vid Wooly.
Really like your surfing mate.
Good to see a big bloke throughing buckets while on rail.
Are all your step up round tails Wooly ?
Thanks mate. Yes all my step ups are round tails. I have had a couple of smaller swallow tails in the past but I always end up back on round tails. At the moment all my boards above 6’3” are round tails. Most are JS FMN and I have a couple of JS Monsta round tails too
Awesome review Wooly. Currently ride a 6'2 (34L) JS Monstabox and a 6'1 JS Schooner (32L) and trying to get my hands on a step up for a Ments trip and was thinking a 6'6 FMN (36L) but they seem elusive. I found a 6'8 (38L) - do you think I will notice the difference between a 6'6' and 6'8? Thanks legend!
Hi mate, believe it or not but I have both the 6'6" and 6'8" :) I tend to ride the 6'6" way more often and love it. The 6'8" really needs to be in double overhead surf to get started whereas the ^'6" I can ride in a much wider range. Where are you located?
Have u rode this in a quad? How was it?
Hi mate. I haven’t but I know a lot of my mates use it in sucky waves as a quad with very positive feedback.
Wooly you legend!!
Mate, I currently ride my Air 17x @ 26.4L and around 5’9/ 5’10. Im off to samoa and want something to handle solid 4-6ft possible 8ft. Also want something for home aswell when conditions suit. What volume and length should i be chasing? I see a couple of stock Dims @ 5’11 and 6’0 ranging from 26.5, 27.8 and 28.8L.
Hi mate
Sorry, I must have missed you question here. I like this combo
Your step down is 5'9"/5'10" 26.4L
So I would do
Performance board ie Air 17P or Monsta 5'11"/6'0" around the same as you Air 17X in Volume, 26 - 27L
Then the next one would jump up 6'2"/6'3" and about 2-3L more ie FMN2
Hope we can all stating travelling again and start using all our bigger boards!
Cheers
Hi Wooly, not sure whether you will get this but here goes! I am off to the Telo's in May and after a mini step up. Do you still rate this board?
Hi mate.
Yes I sure do. I still have 3 of them in my personal quiver - still the best step up in the market IMHO.
You could also look at a Pyzel Ghost or if you want a bit more volume a JS Raging Bull.
@@WoolyTV straight onto it, thanks for that. Yes i have been looking at those and like the look of the Raging Bull and the fact i will not have to go too long.
Have you had a look at the XERO yet?
@@rickycole9741 doing a review on it right now. Should be finished in about a week
Hey Wooly
Sic review mate again how about fins for these boards?
See u use futures but what would u run in fcs in these?
Thanks mate
Cheers Trevor, my acting in front of the camera isn't getting any better but I hope these will help people out. I would probably run Performers in a medium if it was me. As the step ups have the pulled in tail there hold in really well so you don't want to have large fins. I would run either mediums in a PC or carbon. Hope that helps.

Wooly TV - Surf reviews and tips
One last question mate what’s your normal shortboard length? 6’2?
Trevor Hocking Hi mate. I usually ride a 6’1” Monsta box or a 6’2” Air 17 x
My performance board is a Air 17 performer. Then onto the FMN’s
Wooly TV - Surf reviews and tips , Gidday Wooly, sick review. Heading to Samoa in a few months and looking for a step up, my normal shortboard is a 6”1 Monstabox 33.6L. Works good for me. So I step up to a 6”6 36.3L? Marginally intermediate ability :/ Or would you jump up to the 6”8. I’m 6”2 and weigh 85kg. Ideally both I know but just want to get one and see how it goes.
@@WoolyTV I currently have the lost baby buggy carbon wrap which is amazing at 0.2-0.8 meter gutlles to good conditions, and I was thinking of getting a pu board for when the waves start pumping, or when the waves become steep.
if you would have to chose a board for high preformence surfing but for waves 0.5-1.5 meters which one would you chose?
