Christenson Mescaline
- Thread starter deadkipper
- Start date
Had one for awhile, it was plenty fast but wasn't as maneuverable as my other Tomo's. Tried a bunch of different fin setups, quad went best but there are other models I think go better.
I had a ...lost Weekend Warrior that went just about the same.

Any new, additional ride reports on the Mescaline?
Have my eye on one that is slightly more stub dimensions at 5'5" x 19 5/8. I love surfing wide tailed, fast little "grovel" boards and I'm looking for one that will perform well when the waves are decent, not just grovel. I surf a VS Manta in really small waves, and I've been surfing a 5'2" Fling in our average fun sized swell (waist - chest, maybe weaker shoulder). I have a Tomo Vanguard that I like on the few days we get when it's head+.
I'm looking for a board that's a little more dependable than the Fling for the chest+/- zone, but I'd love to keep it short, straight outline and wide tail. I never like surfing normal shortboard shapes (even the modern neckbeard types). I also don't like retro twin fin types.
The Mescaline seems like it could be weird enough to fit my kooky preferences. Kinda like a mash-up of my Vanguard and Fling? Stubby, straight-ish outline, with a wide fast tail, but the Tomo tail design should allow more performance and more hold than a fling?
Thoughts? Hate? Any feedback for me?

Reviews I've seen have been just alright, like it didn't do any one thing well. but I've always been curious about this model because I've had good experiences with Tomos & CC's boards. If I saw one in my size on CL, I'd probably pull the trigger.
