It was so pretty, I hated to deface it, but I finally got around to spraying the deck of my new DA Superchunk yesterday. It was total half-ass job, didn’t even tape off the rails (couldn’t find the painters tape). It has already been a few weeks, and I knew if i didn’t just do it yesterday when I had the time, I wouldn’t do it and just leave it black. It looks pretty mottled and DIY but actually not bad once it’s covered in wax.
Anyway, first surf today, and despite the junky surf, it did what I hoped. Seems to have a lot of the magic of the 5’6 quad SC that it’s replacing: 2” longer length not really noticeable due to the light weight. Felt real easy to whip around. Manny talked me out of quad. Said with the slot channel you really don’t need the rears. He said the channel edges provide the grip/hold of a third fin. It works on the Plasmic, so I went with it.
There wasn’t much open face today, so I probably only had one fs turn today where I really cranked it… but it felt good: that twinny goodness, with just enough hold flowing into the next move.
I’m stocked. After riding SBD’s Album graveler, i knew i had to get a one in DA for weaker/ softer waves.
