Am I the only one who thinks this thing looks pretty difficult to surf?

[jkb]

Fine. I'll do it.

You bros drive a hard bargain.

I accept the challenge to be ***the official erBB board reviewer.***

You can set up a GoFundMe and buy me all the boards you would like reviewed (as well as a soloshot, wax, traction pad, fins, wetsuits, gas, and my morning half-caf soy vanilla latte).

I give zero fvcks about catering to any shapers delicate sensibilities. In fact, I look forward to hurting their feeling.

a community board reviewing GoFundMe pool with rotating errBB reviewers would be epic

Wait, who said anything about "community" or "rotating"?

I extend the same offer as jkb however I will be a better bargain as I take my coffee black.

You already provide this service, and well!
With jkb, there is a pretty solid chance we wouldn't otherwise get the review.

With you, it's 50/50.

That board looks like it feels fun going down the line and carving but like most "fishy" boards (don't confuse fish for twin fin), they leave you wanting when you try to get into the lip.

In regard to the big Aussie beefer that reviews boards: It's glaringly obvious that he rides boards that are too small for him. That, combined with some of his horrid mechanics (don't know which came first, the equipment limitations or the poor fundamentals), makes his surfing pretty unwatchable at times. Granted, I'm not an elite surfer (spare me the "you must rip then..post a video.." nonsense), but he's got some real issues in his approach that have NOTHING to do with fins, bottom contours, or outlines.

I've heard people claim he surfs well.

There's plenty of film that shows otherwise

That's Rich Silva's (CI Rep).

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Kind of a funny style but how many portly dudes do you see surfing like that? I don't see many.

Brudda Cree...

But Chrimo surfs way better than that ozzy dude.

 

[oeste858]

Nah, I think what people have posted is he surfs surprisingly well... for a portly guy with a gut trying to ride too small boards. It's all relative. He's the guy you expect to see at your local on a 7-9 footer, not performance shortboards.

 

[casa_mugrienta]

"Portly" lol

 

[racer1]

Now that we're doing hybrids how about a Mini nose with a black and white tail for a little rippy board?

 

[waxfoot]

The waves he generally shows, are not quality conditions either ... so chubbo + smol performance bort + average conditions = surf surprisingly well.

Exactly.

It's funny, everyone rips like they're on the QS here and are somehow surrounded by people that surf at the same level.

But don’t want to post pics or videos of themselves surfing on a surf forum because of identity theft. Hahaha
