supanimal said...After much procrastination I decided I needed a longboard on my racks so a fortnight ago I bought an ECS 9'6.
I was looking at a Carabine triple stringer with a glassed fin, old skool, pinched rails etc which is a thing of beauty but with a new 8'0 'kong' being shaped presently, the budget just didn't allow it to happen.
So. $595 delivered. Yep, that'll do and after having a 6'4 Sanctum twin keel for 6 months now with nothing but great reports, why the hell not take another risk.
Purchased at 4pm Thurs. Delivered to my door in Cronulla 11am Friday.
The board was located on the Central Coast. Bruce McKee runs the shaping in Asia and I have to say, I'm bloody impressed all round. Quality, finish, aesthetics, detail, shape...all as good as most I've owned.
The rocker was a touch more than anticipated however I've thrustered it up and it rips. Picks up ripples as would any log and is IMHO a quality allrounder.
I made this video today from this morning's little session at Cronulla Point. Beautiful place, fun little waves and amazing sunrise.
