I developed a different way of reviewing surfboards with more of a slight story line.  3 For 30 was developed to give a real and unbiased review of both underground shapers and also national brands. 3 different boards surfed for 30 days by an average surfer in average surf.  I just released episode 2 of my surfboard reviews and if your interested in checking it out I attached a link below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFOR THE RECORD:  It was never my intention to use Jamboards as a way to promote my SCU review.  I posted a link in a forum speaking about a particular board I reviewed and the response was very positive.

However, one has to be careful of assuming what was going on between 1967 and July of 1968 when from my perspective, was the beginning of the end for the classic longboard era. After that it was almost a nuclear winter for longboards. Everything was transitional from that point forward.  Emphasis on nose riding was starting to phase out by the beginning of 1967 because of the influence of Nat Young and the \"Magic Sam\" board from 1966.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The emphasis was heading more towards performance and maneuverability thus the transition into V bottoms and forward. The Hansen \"Competitor\" was a model that was very similar to what many of the established manufacturers were coming out with and not that unique for that period. One only had to look and the Morey Pope Peck Penetrator and the Con Ugly for those extreme tail rocker boards that preceded the Hansen Competitor.  They would borrow ideas from one another when a specific board would start to get traction with the surfing public.  I had one (a Hansen Competitor) for a while and although I consider it a decent board, I wouldn't call it a period classic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease don't let my critique stop you from future episodes of this. It can be both historical and informational if researched properly and vintage surfing magazines are loaded with ads and information of vintage fin designs and who was behind the creation and manufacturing. For those who didn't live during that time period, it can be a guessing game and you don't want to pass on dis-information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease keep them coming!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSax"], ["233805", "10544", "Surf Craft Union Surfboard Review", 96, "Hodaddy81", "Jan 14, 2022", "2022-01-14T17:10:54-0500", "After watching CJ Nelson rave about his new longboard model I decided to pull the trigger on a CJ Nelson Apex.
