I will allow you to buy it.
hahaha, Be carefull bad mojo with pop out.
My advice in these situations would be to ask your wife/girlfriend to buy it for you. Works out much cheaper usually.
my neighbor has a 10’0 Walden Magic epoxy…it’s a phenomenal board…just DOMINATES.
I would buy it!
Ride what you want to ride, buy what you want to buy
I take it back…do not buy. I no likey bad mojo.
Well, if it weren’t a Pop-out, I would say buy it. Only because those Pop-out boards are a pain-in-the-arse to fix. SInce it IS a Pop-out, I would say buy it anyways but only for a GREAT price. Work the seller good! Walden Magic Model’s ride like the wind. Never rode one shorter than a 9’ though, but only had great fun on them. If you don’t like it, sell it. I have nothing bad to say about Walden’s shapes. Pop-Outs? Well, I don’t have much of anything to say about them, but that is speaking from the repair point-of-view.
This Walden model is a great small wave board, despite the pop-out construction. Fast cheater five’s in sectioning beach breaks is what it does best. The 7 foot length in EPS is OK for your height and weight. There are really two types of Walden epoxies: “3 Phase” and Boardworks, with the Boardworks version about $50 more new. I’m never see either one cut apart or damaged, so I can’t comment on the differences in the epoxy methods used. The price for the 3 Phase Mini-Magic is about $625 USD new, so base your offered price from this.
This may sound bad to some, but I’ve found that the pop-out versions of brand-name polyshapes ride better than the originals. The most recent case has been the Dewey Weber line. I’ve found the poly versions were way too heavy, rode too low in the water, and hard to manuver. The epoxy versions are completely different animals. I’m not talking about the vintage originals here, but the contemporary poly shapes. Just my opinion though.
Dont buy it, Make it!
Do it
I own the board and also a 6’2" compact disk. I prefer the smaller of the two and totally recommend them. I haven’t shaped in a while but when I did, I made a lot of really short and wide singlefins. I learned that I loved really short boards, but they need to be wide, if they are super short and wide, they need a really dynamic bottom to help keep the rails engaged. The Waldens have an insanely shaped bottom, the chines make the board seem thinner than it is and the concaves help channel water back, not to the sides which helps it hold in steeper stuff.
Beware though, epoxy boards are hard to ding, but they do suck up water when dinged, my 6’2" gained about 3 pounds (about 2 kg) and I can’t get it out, and drying may take months.
Hi!!
Thanks, people… finally I´ve decided decline the offer and try to make it, … ¿?.. Probably I´ll never surf again, hahaha!!
