soo sick







so this is a new one its a 9'9" 21.5" and 3.5" shes been  on my mind for years now actually and ive been loving this thing....its narrow and has a pretty straight outline the rocker is super super super flat so it inherently gooooooooesss soooooo fast the bottom is just roll and the rails in the middle are pretty thick but the board has and overall low rail line with some pinch to it so it has a lot of drive through turns....the best way to describe it is a longboard/hull so it has that feel of a hull real forward trim locks into the pocket but then has longboard feel through turns. the deck got somewhat of a kelp tint and one of them abstract bottoms and like teal turqoise pinline and logo on the bottom with a finbox. the board isnt a super heavy glassjob so that helps out with manueverability and this thing is sooo fast its a different kind of surfing just beating sections you never beat and go up and down the wave turn bottom turn all this it feels much more like a dance on the wave than you just ripping it up its nice i love it. it has a 3/4" red cedar stringer and it is sick it doesnt noserider super well you have to bee in a nice lined up steeper section..you noseride more for trimming through a section than to just perch and stall in the pocket all day. i really like this board...literally a different type of surfing than what i have been doing....i really like having boards that are more on the extreme end of things because board building is such a balance. you have to give and take certain things that may allow for this but takes away that...so when you just decide to make a board that is more focused on a specific kind of surfing you end up with a board that works insane as long as conditions of the wave and yourself prohibit. you go faster than you have ever gone noseride longer than ever hardest turns a board that holds in bigger waves all kinds of things...also im not re reading what i just wrote so you can deal with the fact that i just wrote a rant like always.
