Not that anyone has chimed in with any experience with an Andreini edge board which is probably to be expected as it's a newer offering from him and his other designs work so well so why would you want to mess witha great thing.
Does anyone have any experience with the power blade fin? I think this is the recommended setup with his Edge but, like my Vaquero, I want to add side bites and wonder if those go with the design.
I'm onto my third Andreini edge board...yes it's a sickness of mine
First one was a 5'8 Bullet edge single fin, it actually popped up in the classifieds here and I snapped it up quick. The PB fin hadn't been released yet so I rode it with a 9.0 Greenough High Speed. At the time a local sandbar was making some nice zippy walls that this board just ate up. I was convinced I needed an edge as a stepup so...
6'6 Vaquero edge, custom. Sold the Bullet as soon as I got the nod this was done and got to pick it up from Kirk Putnam at his home/greenough museum. What a trip to browse through classic Liddle's and have KP tell me a couple stories. Unfortunately, I didn't gel with the Vaquero even after upgrading to the PB fin, just too cruisey of a design for what I wanted it for. Had one memorable session on it though, a 6ft south wind day where the edge absolutely cut through chop to make a bad wave day into a really fun one.
I really missed the 5'8 Bullet and came pretty close to reclaiming it when it popped up on CL, but couldn't put funds together fast enough to snatch it back. Wish I'd never sold it, till a few weeks ago.
Newest addition: 6'4 MP edge with sidebites, this thing goes!! Two sessions so far at San O and really impressed, lots of glide in the flats, turns really tight when there's curve and chews up chop. It's not a shortboard, but I could definitely ride this everyday. I've left the sidebites in so far, but think I'll try the board without them next small day I take it out.
I sold my PB fin with the Vaquero, so I'm back on a Greenough Hi speed for now, gotta show some self control.
