#003 for me, 6’6’’ semigun…2 3/8 x 18 3/8…sick, sick, sick. Very happy with it. Wondering if i should sell it or keep it for those cali winter swells (that seem to be almost gone). The way i look at it, i can’t really afford to keep all the boards i shape (yet). Anyway, check it…


are those before-glassing shots? just curious as to the lack of any logo, color, artwork, etc.

if i’m blind please correct me.

great looking board, nice shape, looks fast.

where’s the wide point??

Looks really nice! Just curious as to which fins you put on it?

Wasn’t this winter da kine? I can only remember a couple of weekends where there was no real surf. the rest of the time it was pretty good and last December was all time.

I’d have a hard time letting that one go.

No logos, all white…planning a go a Lunada? Would be a good board for the spot.

a thruster on swaylocks yeaaaaahhhhh ! don’t sell it man, boards are made to be surfed . Then you can tell us how it rides

Yeah, actually it was supposed to have a sweet “coke bottle green” tint to it, but that glasser got it mixed up and tinted my buddies board instead. I am still coming up with some clever designs/logos so there is nothing yet. Maybe i’ll buy a decal online and put er on, but till then, yup, white as my thighs are this winter. Oh, the fins are, shit, G5s possibly. I could be wrong. They came with so they’re just on for now. I’ll try em out and adjust from there.

And yes, this board is my semigun for large cali winters. In hind sight, it looks a bit too narrow, i might have done width at 19 and brought the wide point ahead a little, but again, this is my third board (first thruster). But based on my dimensions (165 lbs. 5’10" - good paddler, been surfing for about 15 years in so. cal) i think it will serve well??!!

yes , I LIKE it !

how far from centre IS the wide point ? [to echo ‘Dud chasing lefts Perkins’]

It’s actually a change to see a white board here …I always like the look of clean foam ! […and then I spray / tint it !!! go figure !]

I may do a white-sprayed foam “colour” scheme on my next board [hopefully it won’t yellow over time then …or WILL it ?

And yes , my next board (hopefully!) will be a thruster , in the 6’2 to 6’6 range x 18 3/4 - 19" wide , but thinner than 2 1/2" , for a change for me . From a proper thruster blank , also for a change !

where did you set the side fins ?

…it may just be me , but they look a bit further forward than 11 / 11 1/2" , yes ?

and , were they ‘toed in’ towards the nose ?

 cheers !

i like it if i got waves that were suited to that board, i would retro fit it to a bonzer and then ride it . sorry i am bonzer fan for clean fast waves
