Modern Blackbird

Post by ThinkQuick » Thu May 30, 2013 3:11 pm

Hey guys,

Looking for a board with some volume for the smaller days (and to take the misses out on) but dont want anything too large.

Just wondering if anyone had tried the 'Modern Blackbird' from GSI or heard anything about them

I was looking at second hand mini-mals / mals but at a price point of $500 brand new the modern blackbird looks the goods. Looking at the 7' or 7'6'.

Cheers!

How long have you been working for GS1?
I don't think you will find that the cheap pop outs promoted by GS1 are all that popular on these forums.

If price is a factor, go a good second hand board shaped by a local shaper.
