Joel Fitz channel bottom.
Something else, probably a single fin log.

He did fine in the bigger stuff. Most here wouldn't have paddled out.
I had to watch it again to see if I missed something, only saw one wave over 6 foot on the light blue board, all he did was take off and kickout. boards weren't doing him any favours in my opinion.

I’d like one of those Christenson midlengths. But not for $1300 odd.

Surprise!! Prbs 50 litre Channel Islands Pod from two years ago at 500 clams. Hayden Lewis makes some nice middies, think Onboard is his "agent"

I went to a fe shops looking at boards this arvo, a while since I’ve done that.

The choice of models and styles is mind boggling. All it left me wanting was a few thousand dollars to buy 3 or 4.

I held a 6'9" CI Black Beauty for a long time. Sleek, beautiful board which i think would only get a run a couple of times a year.

A couple of channel bottom Christenson's.

Lost V3, SA Face Dancer plus a few JS's.

I did wonder what happend to all these boards. Shapers release new models each year yet im doubtful shops would sell all the stock.
