There's a Lightning Bolt on the wall of a coffee place in Ala Moana shopping centre.
Couldn't work out how to sneak out with it. :(

Nowhere near quick enough.
I pictured a gang of big Hawaiians waiting for me at the exit to the shopping centre. #*! #*!

This on the wall of a coffee shop in Ala Moana Shopping Centre.

They gave me a filthy enough look while I was taking the pics. :oops:
Could never have got close enough to nick it. :roll:

Nice looking board. They make them up at Byron Bay under license as well.

Hands up who is riding a sub 6ft Lis looking quad fish or twin. F$ck me they are everywhere.

I was chatting to a surfing acquaintance who I've know for 10 years, he's always ridden HPSB. He's now loving his Rarb Machado Seaside. He wouldn't have been seen dead on one 18 months ago.

Please explain this phenomenon

Easier to ride in most every day surf.

Phenomenon already peaked though.

Many have also morphed hugely from the specialised Lis type fish, to make what can be a handful to a more user friendly design.
More curves, more rocker. Modern bottom contours. Looser fin setups.
