sorry about photo quality. the manta/lahui kai 14' er. the photos don't do it justice. it's an amazing looking board
Looks like a racing mal.
Food for thought, how do you reckon they would go on ya knees up against a racing mal ?
Very pretty LL. If you put a set of wheels on it, how many people do you think you could fit on it for a parade ? I think I will name it "Mitzi" - whaddya reckon
mitzi!!!!! i googled it, but i still don't know what it means
i've had two runs on the board today and one on micks yesterday.
despite that cmc fella having a dig and i said i'm not claiming anything- well i'm gonna take that back'
it just keeps getting better each time.
dvs supplied the mick and kelly with a upright ish , not to wide, late rake fin- he recommended that fin.
well i said no i'll use the axe fin i always use thankyou. umm it was too stiff and surfing it in was hard. dvs was right. i whipped down to shapers and got this.
seemed pretty close
guess i was wr,wr wro wrong. unreal such a narrow fin works so well
cheers
you already are champ so you dont need one.
It doesnt really matter overall...
LK don't hold their value because every two months or so you get a stock of board going for half price on the market screwing the LK second hand market. That happened with the hand layed orca and the vacuum bagged one too...
It's good if you want a good board cheap because they are decent items, it's bad if you already have one
I dont think LK are alone in that boat, seems other custom race sups are flooding the market also. With a new design each week and a battle between customers to have the latest fastest board(in their mind), makes for a buyers paradise....just go through the buy and sell here and take your pic....lots to choose from
True but but you dont see DC, Naish or the other respected top brands drop 50% of their value within less than a year. Only the odd exception of a forced sale (Lacey mainly ).
Even though DC floods the market from time to time, the boards still enter the market at a decent price which in return guarantees a good resale value for the existing owners (understand here it makes it easier to upgrade to the next board).
I hope LK sort that side of their business in the fututre because from a board point of view, they're a good piece of kit.
