paint came out so good. Think i might polish the nose where there will be no wax. Love this one. 9'1" x 23" x 2 7/8. Its Petes "short board bottom" model. Nose concave half way down to double concave and a vee out the back.
Steve looks like a weapon there and Mac could take a few notes off you re board art and by the way nice looking GS you have my girl is similar looking.Looking forward to the ride report.
Very nice looking board mate, aesthetically & shape wise...real modern looking with deep concaves by the looks & quad. Reckon it will go well in beachies, look forward to the ride report
Maiden Voyage report.
WOW, Very fast and light. Took me back 35-40 years ago when I first rode a short board. Everything is so fast and whippy. Think this might be my go to board for a while. Certainly very different to the 24" wide Pieter Easyrider I have been using. A few more sessions and I will give the tri fin option a run.
All the photos show them what looks a further forward setup then the industry standard-surfing warehouse
Would like to know why.
Curious
Steve don't give up the idea of waxing the nose. I have a "The Mal" model from Pie Eater 9'1"x 22" x 2 7/8". Can definitely ride the nose. They are quite flat up front and with the nose concave, very forgiving. Interesting the tail. Mine has a rounded pin which is more characteristic of a HP longboard. Any reason for the square tail?
Steve, did you get the SBB in the water over the weekend with the swell we had. how'd it go if you did?
I love to just set my new board in the yard and a look at from different angles...a new love affair if you will...oh, and there's the under your test..
Steve how is the board going now that you've had it a few months? I'm very tempted by this design as I usually surf sloppy beach breaks where the more speed the board and rider can generate the better.....
PM sent Dave. Its a keeper. It made it to the quiver. Has had a few big dings but still great. Nothing a sticker or 2 wont cover.
I sold the gun on the bottom. Too small, even at 7'6". Too much rocker for this big ol fella.
