I recently had the chance to talk with Nick P about this shape and it was pretty enlightening. He said he's used it in up to 3xOH waves around Santa Cruz (not Mavs, but another break I can't recall the name of not far away) and that it was a personal board he really liked. Our own evol (Christian) has ridden the board too and enjoyed it. All of the long panels are resin, not cloth. That's a 1/2" red cedar stick and Bruce glued up the blank himself. Nick said if I want to get it to noseride, I'd need to put a full on skeg in it. That'll happen the next time I surf this board. For a 12er, it's an amazingly sensitive board, very foiled with slightly down rails in the tail. Glassed with 7.5 oz. volan. Last time I used it, I went with an 8.5" CC Tracker flex fin and I liked that one quite a lot. It's a cool board; I'm grateful to Miles for selling it and to Wade for helping get the board into my hands via Hugh. It's a hell of a lot of fun. Image processing. Refresh page to view |
