Album Surfboards
- Thread starter Aruka
- Start date
Let it be known that when I started my very first thread on this forum I did, in fact, show my t!ts.
My first 3 surfs on "The End":
Fast and fun board. It likes open walls and bigger waves than smaller ones, besides the low rocker. I was surprised by how good it was to knife under the lip in hollower waves. Very good paddler.
Not so sparky as other Album boards. I found it a little bit stiff to turn, but perhaps this is due to been surfing twin fins for the last year and a half. I´m using the split keels from FCS2. My first thoughts are that the Townsend turns easier than The End.
More to come

Some of those backside turns on the first couple waves were pretty rad. I enjoy seeing Clay go right.
The boards look a little bulky and thick up front. Maybe Insanity variations? Probably could use more rocker for the waves he's surfing. It looked like he was having to force it through turns a couple times.

Whatever they are, they probably cost twice as much as the chemistry boards he was totally ripping on
Album is cutting him a paycheck. Guys who need money or are seeking to make money will go where the money is.
I do? I have no idea, I've never ridden one.casa thinks chemistrys are good!?
They were sure good for Clay Marzo though.
Some of his (their? isn't Michael Barron involved too?) boards look fun though.
A young Clay surfed Tokoro’s. I think he was on them through Local Motion sponsorship. Heard he really liked those boars. And were what he rode to get noticed.
I would like to Marzo surf a HPSB thruster NOW.
Clay was ripping on them…
…years ago.
Maybe part or all of what we see is just his skill level declining. Or it’s the boards. Or both.
He‘s looking rather plump.

I think he still has it. Prior getting boards from album I thought the footage of him on the borrowed twin looked great. His chuiky thrusters he's on now, not so much.
I wonder how long the contract is for… or if they commit to developing a model together for him to earn royalties. Not really beneficial for either party if nobody thinks he’s surfing particularly well on their boars.
