id love to surf like you, i just started surfing in my early 20s'. seasoned skateboarder/snowboarder, from canada, started surfing in mexico a month outta a year, just got a fish!
Ive been riding the same fish for years. Its a 1997 Stewart and mixed between performance and retro. Love riding it, but have to lay it down soon, Any ideas on who makes great retro fishes. I was thinking either performance or retro. What do you guys think.
Baja is so glassy its insane. Is it always like this down there?
Screw Surftech, if you like riding a cork go ahead. Those things are just stamped out one after the other. There is no hand shaping there, it looses the mojo.
dude a boards a board, i dont care if its hand shaped or not. Just because your some crappy ass long boarder doesnt mean you have to dis my board. And what if i like riding a cork?
Definatly retro- 'performance' fish is a shortboard 1/8'' thicker with a swallow tail that shortboard orientated shapers churn out to give their company an all rounded name, its false.
Check out icons of surf, some foookin' lovely shapes on there!!!!
And cayne590- pukkpukk's got a point, expensive pop-out :D
twin fins are faster and work the best on a forever point break so you can really open up the speed of the fish. Try to ride a fish 2' or 3' shorter than your height.
The one I tried in Costa was 5'6" and I'm 6'2.5". As soon as I took off I was screaming down the line with so much speed. Then I carved a bit to burn it off and still had speed. I was able to just pivot the board and do off the tops all day log and at the end of the turn I could slide my tail really easy but recover juast as easily. These things are a trip. Whipping the tail around, making sections, floating fast over sections, slashing, sliding, I didn't lose the board once, I had no leash.
haha i know how you feel, i have a 5'1 twinny and its amazing and i could tell exactly the same story as you just did, why the fuck dont pros use them at lowers and stuff?
Beautiful surfing, so smooth, fast, and stylish. Tried one in Costa recently and I'm obsessed with twins. Their not as hard to ride and as "unstable" as people say, they are fast as heck and fun. I guess you have to be a good surfer to ride them well. I ordered some future twin fins last night and got chewed out by my mom today. I got the big ones too, the vector II FEN ones. I couldn't believe the speed I got when I tried it out in Costa. Right off the bat I was like whoa!!! What is this?
One of the best surfing I have seen in longtime Bro so smoth! You got come up to Rincon and put some Style in Santa Barbara.
