Lovely looking board, 5 stringers is quite unusual nice and unique.
Gotta love a pin tail, we have some waves that would be sweet in.
DC and Lacey dreamed up this baby for me and it was love at first site.
Took a while to get dialed but very sweet.

Nice, good to see something a bit different..
Which one? I shaped number 7 the other day. No photos but.
Great question Miko.
This guys is stoked on his new board and he should be its his.
There was a time when on a daily basis people posted all sorts of great reviews on new or unusual boards.
But since the pimping posts went down and everyone gets red thumbed for just posting, most of that input has dried up.
I was staggered when one of the newer guys asked for info on stepping down from a 9'8 the other day and hardly anyone said a word!
I can think of at least 6 boards that would suite him from 6 different brands.
You would have thought you would get a response from: AA, Jacko, DJ, Casso, Sam, Simon etc etc etc. As long as the playing field is level who cares?
Makes you think about how rediculous this red thumb Bull**** really is and what effect it has on input!
Screw the red thumbs post what you believe in!
Here's my 8'9" laguna custom, goes great in 2 - 15 foot faces:
I just made a 9'2" pin tail gun for hollow and/or big waves - will post some pics soon!
Is that five stringer Polyurethane foam? How much does she weigh in at?
Also- is that blue ridge half way up the deck near the rail another handle or something... it looks like the leg rope attachment.
(Nice board btw :)
Yeh as we were talking at the bbq paddle thing i love my Mano in around head high and a little bit plus its super fun.. Maybe its my surfing abilty but i strugle to control it in anything bigger.. So i guess what im saying is i want something a bit more suited to say double head plus waves and not sure where to look..
Or is it just im a s##t surfer ?

Re: The Bird- 'feels like a surfboard not a cork'- I'll bet. I had a go on a PU SUP- but sadly only a flat water paddle. The thing weighed a ton though- but it did have a nice feel. :D I think it had three stringers from memory.
