Terry Martin Legacy and Scott Anderson Flowmaster?

Anyone out there surfed these boards. On a quick glance they remind me of a Skip Fry eagle or Christenson glider.

The eagle and gliders have been accused of being very difficult to turn because of the long parallel outline and the lack of rocker in these boards. Is the flowmaster or Legacy easier to turn than these boards?

Have just had shoulder surgery and another one on the way when I’m finished rehabbing so could be up to as much as a year before I can paddle a surfboard again . So I stated looking for a board to help me get back into surfing and also surf a few fickle spots.

At low tide or smaller swells some of the spots around here can have lines stand up for what seems like miles until they peak into a fun-sand bottom beachbreak or right over cobblestone boulders at the two pointbreaks.

The idea is to with the above mentioned boards(Terry Martin Legacy and Scott Anderson Flowmaster) you could go out even on smaller or low tide days and catch these unbroken swells and take a highline early and zip past the boulders without loosing my fins or teeth .Previously in these kind of conditions the spots have only been surfable with my surfmat.

Not interested in noseriding or carving just getting back in the water and catching waves really early again at these fickle spots in all conditions. On bigger days(4-6ft) the righthandpoint requires getting in early “sideways” to avoid boulders in front of the takeoff spot, trim speed to make the first section and then your home free for the clean inside section.

No need to worry about taking someone’s head off with an 11ft board at these spots, since I found them I’ve always been surfing alone.

Here are a few shots:

Any info at all about these boards would be grate.

that looks cold. Spend the $ on Costa Rica. Nice wave though!

I asked Terry last Friday about the Legacy (I’ve never seen one), and he says it is a very easy paddling board with parallel rails and low rocker that would work well for you. It is an old-school log however, and does take a few strokes to get up the momentum. Most of our personal (and favorite) traditional/performance longboards are Terry’s shapes, so I’m a bit biased.

I have a nice 10’4’’ Flowmaster , I love it!
