$450.00 no fins.

6'0 Skinny fish - Has lotsa depressions but still has plenty of life left. Glass on twin keels, still heaps of foam but thinner all over than a usual fish. Goes like a freakin' rocket. Doesn't appear to be on the CIS website but here is an old video from Merrick:

It's currently at finbox in thirroul for the southerners. $300ish (make an offer)

How's the skinny fish go backhand?
And how's the volume compare to the Wombat?

[Topher]

Backhand is fine - Never had a spinout, and even I can do big cutbacks and hit the lip on it backhand. The keels are quite deep.
Volume is prob similar to the bear but spread out a bit. I find it a little easier to duckdive than the wombat.

Its 6'0 x 21 1/4 x 2 1/2 - so the skinny refers to the thickness not the width.

i'm interested, but don't hold it for me.
Got to shift some stock of my own.
Be a bit ironic if this section returns to the two of us swapping boards.

[Topher]

Cool, yeah it would be funny - what are ya trying to shift?

I'm probably looking for a single fin or 2 +1, more refined and rockered than the wombat. Long shot I know - but someone here might have one, anyway If I can sell both boards at the same time I'll be able to get a nice one made up.

[alakaboo]

nothing that fits that bill
i'm selling the mccoy and a stretch quad (tuflite)

[alakaboo]

did you sell them Topher?
Or just give up?
I noticed it's not in your sig anymore...

I've got one on the way...
Was originally going to be a thruster because I was a chicken, but then I went for the 2+1.

[Topher]

Noice! What you got coming?

Sold the FW for quite an average price on feeBay - the fish is still down at finbox as far as I know.

[alakaboo]

6'3" round tail 2+1, designed as a stepup.
combination of wood skins and some crazy fabrics.
Excited!

[Topher]

Actually just picked up a nice 6'2 NPJ low railed widowmaker that I got off the 'bay for a very nice price.

Few dents - but in quite ok condition. Should fill my gap nicely!

Yours another huie?

[alakaboo]

Your NPJ looks like a good buy!

Yep, 'nother Huie.




He wasn't happy with the quality of the wood...
