~ Board Review Vids ~

That guy was interesting….Im impressed he can grow dope in a cold climate.
Boards are getting arty which is a good thing if they go good.

I watched some acid test Rasta video and I get your point Udo….i understand the value of alternate materials and designs for the future and for the fun of it.
I also know that even a common rack board of good design if looked after well can last many years especially if you have a few for different waves or even one board and one step up….just care for them carefully.
As long as you rail surf and don’t jump up and down on it like an idiot trying to do airs as well…..look after them and the environment…..I hate seeing pros popping big airs on team light boards….such a waste…..bad examples.
Most punters are pretty broke in this current environment and it’s tough to have the money to experiment with alternate designs at around $1000 or more a pop….good for them if they can…
At the end of the day it’s about getting a good capable board under your feet and the rest is up to you……it’s about you and the wave….moulded together…..even on a cheap board from gumtree.
I have however seen a lot of wide arsed Twinnies being paddled out into proper waves lately to the owners demise……that’s a special skill set…...horses for courses to the average joe.

Eeeny Meeny Mighty MOE!

Scorpion mk 2(Takyama)...double ender(McCoy)..Bullet(RichieWest)...different rails and bottom shape.

Shortboard..Hybrid...Fish?

Optimist. Hi mate.
Thanks for your heads up re the new CI board, “Better Everyday “, I’ll take a look.

They’d wanna be good because my 3 Fred Rubbles are still good to go.
As quads I love them. All the best . AW

feeling Groovie.

Looks awful…..so many better boards around.

Looks like it goes pretty good to me, does all the basics in a varied range of conditions with both fin configurations.DAILY DRIVER.

That was very cool Udo! Thanks!

I watched it again and I suppose it goes OK.
First look it seemed a Hoicka …(like you had to hoick it back to the lip…
I dunno….Ive ridden a few different epoxy’s in my day and even had guys say “ oh that thing goes great under your feet”…..but….blah….they feel dead to me even when they are going good…..I’m a PU tragic…
When I could surf I rode 1 x 4S decks and a 4oz bottom PU daily drivers and if you looked after them they would last pretty good and feel amazing…..Rail surfing not airy fairy tricks like these days.
PS that rawson looked great

just a narrower MachadoCado and very close in volumes dimensions to dominator 2

For some people it will be perfect....some grovel and some performance.
