tom currens black beauty

[mustkillmulloway]

anyone rode it? the retro model that came out a few years ago

mates off loading one for $180 in great condition ( mate rates

the fins are worth a $100

it's a 6'4, so it might work ok for me...the 6'6 be a total gun

anyone surfed one? how it go?

looks sick curves, very understated compared todays designs

That model does not come in a 6'4 length. 6'3 or 6'6. I have had several because I love the chimed rails, flat rocker etc. I enjoy these boards, a lot. I highly recommended them. They are a joy to ride.

I had a 6'3 , wish I kept it, went very bad for me, I can ride almost anything but after 10 surfs, I got rid of it, but wish I had it for the Curren factor only.....Fong, if ya dont grab it, let me know....or get it and we can swap something maybe ???.....Boards are great mysterious beasts hey ?, what Cliff loves, I hate ( perf wise ).....

[mustkillmulloway]

cheers clif....the board looks great...classic lines...i think it might be more suited to juice than sunny coast waves

mark.......can we figure something ...pm me and well sort something out

[Clif]

You have to enjoy the flat rocker. The board rides well in gutless waves because of this, too. But I have ridden the 6'3 up to 8ft Lagundri, also. The board is good for clean well-drawn-out lines. It tolerates mistakes too, though. This is because of the softer edges. Hell, it goes well for me so it should tolerate mistakes

i had a go of clif's 6'3" a couple of weeks ago and loved it right away. if i hadn't just had a year off surfing i might have been able to do a couple of big long turns like occy at bells on it. actually i did heaps of big long turns in my mind's eye, so really it was a great session on a classic board.

ok....u have my interest.....i might have give it a surf or two now

never know if i don't give it a go

I bought a 6'9" black beauty as a step up board, a role it fulfilled very well. Im not the the best surfer but it is a forgiving and easy handling board that likes late take offs and bigger waves. Only problem was the absolute rubbish glass job that i could have done better with one arm tied behind my back. So, with a few resevations, I had the CI guys in Sydney make me a custom blach beauty with 6oz glass all over and just to be different, a gloss coat. I also changed the dims to 6'6" x 19 x 25/8. I had the bottom shape slightly modified with a more modern double concave shape, instead of the original 'v' concave, and also had the chine rails softened forward of the fins. The result is a strong, good looking and functional board that is fast becoming the only one i put in the car. Pretty happy with it really.

i like the rails...very similar huies travelling cdd

( thats come home to stay )

and.....be honest

it's not a good wave board at all

loves the grovel

hmmmm...never buy a book by it's cover

[Cpt.Caveman]

To be honest I probably wouldn't have bought a book that looked like five paint tins were spilled all over it...

well i t was never for sale in the first place

my journey with that board was about the materials which were hidden under the tins of paint

i hope we have a good reason to be sarcastic

[Cpt.Caveman]

Sorry mate, I loved how it surfed though. A real slingshot effect even in small waves, and a surprising amount of float for its dimensions.

I would have requested a different style of spray myself...

[Clif]

Perfect good wave board, actually. I have ridden at 8ft Sandon and surfed at perfect 6-8 ft Nias amongst other stellar Indo breaks. Black Beauty went epic.
