In order to draw a little attention away from the religious debate below , seeing as tho the ** fight was started over somwthing written on the bottom of a board what do yall' think should be written on there?
Also i think Fanatics new graphics leave allot to be desired...http://www.fanatic.com/public/content/e554/e555/e5826/e5945/index_eng.html
Grey?? cmon guys you can do better!
Haven't you seen Notting Hill...Chicks Dig Grey (or so some ugly welsh dude says)
with board graphics there is no keeping everyone happy, and it doesn't really matter cause after you dig it the graphics are stuffed anyway. My old all white customs were a sinch to repair, you would never even know it had been damaged.
They do look a little nicer in person, but yeah I agree its pretty bland. I think i'm gonna buy a newwave thou, so shhhh, they look beautiful to me :D
The new Jp pro editions look nicer in person too, but then again the pictures look pretty ugly, so i dunno where that puts them. The plain jp's just look ugly fullstop.
I think the only "main" stream board with nice graphics are probably tabou. RRD used to look good, but the current boards look terrible.
Thou i do dig the graphics on the current generation of mistral boards.
But really don't see many boards down at the beach which make me go wow, that looks cool.
I think i wanna get a board with a custom graphic, something like this on the bottom, dunno about the top...
I got a friend who can probably paint it, just dunno wut paint to use, or what board i want painted yet, maybe the newwave when it gets a bit older. :D
One thing for sure is the pic's on the web site dont look too much like the real thing. They have sanded back the white paint back to the carbon and they look pretty good in the flesh. The grey is kind of a mixture of the underneath layer of carbon and the remaining white paint.
Despite the fact they match pretty much any coloured sail. The whole marketing blurb on the web site about being able to jam the bottom turns and ride it like a surfboard could not be closer to the truth. Best wave board I have every ridden.
