Bay Slayer Q&A
What size Bay Slayer should I get?
The Bay Slayer is a big-wave gun built from Mason Ho’s personal Waimea boards, so it is ridden far longer than your everyday shortboard, and the length comes down to the size of waves you are chasing: the longer the board, the earlier you get in and the more it holds at speed, while the shorter end turns more easily. We have stocked it from 8’0 to 9’8. There is no stock chart for this one, so our shop staff can help you pick a size. If you don’t know your volume, use the Volume calculator at the top of our …Lost 3D board builder as a starting point.
What fins does the Bay Slayer use?
The Bay Slayer has five fin boxes (FCS II or Futures), so you can ride it as a thruster or a quad. Neither FCS nor Futures lists this model in its …Lost guide, and for a gun built for hold and long, drawn-out lines in serious surf, the raked, drive-oriented family both brands pair with …Lost’s performance boards is the right pick; most surfers run a gun as a thruster. The template to look for is a raked, drive-oriented fin: on FCS II the Mayhem Driver Tri (Small, Medium, Large), with the Mayhem Driver quad rears (Medium, Large) for a quad. FCS classes the Mayhem Driver as a Carver-family fin: an elongated template with more sweep (rake), built for hold and longer, drawn-out turns. FCS sizes these fins by weight: Small 120–155 lbs, Medium 145–175 lbs, Large 165–200 lbs. On Futures, the Mayhem 3.0 5-Fin (Medium, Large) gives you the same rake template in a thruster-plus-quad set, or use the R-series Blackstix (R4, R6, R8) as a thruster. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.
