Startin to get used to my fish. Sweeeeet!

Post by Beerfan » Fri Dec 22, 2006 5:48 pm

I've had my homemade fish out about 6 or 7 times now. So far, its been a bit hit and miss, one wave i'd be in the sweet spot, the next, i was way off. But today, i had a great surf on it. Waves were only waist to chest high, but had a bit of shape and a bit of push to them. I find that when you stay up high, it absolutely flies!!. I also tried the "poo" stance on a few bottom turns. Felt good, and seemed to turn better. I also jumped on my 7'6'' minimal, i havent ridden it since i finished my fish, but i highlined and weaved first wave. Im stoked!!!!. Merry xmas people, and thanks ric for your advice!!!

Good one max, at 6'2'' x 16nx22widex22tx3'' thick, it could carry a few cars haha. Its more than a foot shorter than im used to, hence the full volume.

Salty, here's a pic of the fins, i dont have any of the other views yet.

Do you mean mystics?. I was there with it a few weeks ago at the camping area on the farm. The waves were not even ankle high :( .

Yeah either minno's or mystics. I thought I recognised that board looks pretty chunky. I was in the carpark getting the kids in the car when I spotted the board.The Farms pretty good today at around 5 feet or more with not too many out.
