Thought you might fancy a peek at my latest,
6’6"x23.75"x3"
… smells like fish.
Perhaps a little of it’s ancestry might be informative.
For the last five years I have been riding this,
It’s a 6’6" fishy thing I reshaped from an old black and yellow longboard you might remember,
I loved that thing, it went through a few incarnations, a testbed for whacked out ideas really,
But eventually it met its nemesis, in the form of a closeout tube (they still count) on a shallow reef,
snapped it right in half and ripped the leash plug right out.
Luckily, I had something waiting in the wings,
This I hacked down from a fat 7’4" thruster that got a completely delammed bottom on the flight back from NZ.
Just stripped the bottom and lopped a foot offa the tail.
I gave it a fair outing at Ric’s Stag weekend down at Sennen… and I like!
It’s a different kettle of fish from the old one, looser at the expense of some down-the-line rocketshippery, but I think I will learn to love it.
And I’m grinding up a bunch of weird fins to try on it… hehehehehehehehe.
