Del Boca Vista, Phase III
This is a fairly interesting book if you like fashion at all.

Used to be that counterfeit Gucci products, for example, were sought and the producers prosecuted. Basically, at this point in time, most (but not all) of the fashion houses are privately upset if people AREN'T knocking them off with fakes. in many cases the fakes and legit labels are made in the same factory.

Surfing, having turned into, for many people, a fashion statement even more than an activity, may be entering this phase.

I'm not saying Critters Toy Co is thinking about this, but it seems relevant to this thread and the other about knocking off boards.

I'm loving the comments.

Have any of the commenters actual fondled the board or are they just parroting what Ryan Lovelace tells them to say?

Wow, getting trashed in the reviews! Team Lovelace ain't takin' this sh!t! Don't forget they also introduced the Yang model.

Is this some hipster cheap ass knock off of a Morning of the Earth channel bottom twin? I bet it doesn’t have the proper rocker though.

Whew! Top of the line anal toy. Def not for beginners. I ordered the largest size and was able to take all 94 inches.

Someone said this board was modeled off of Mark Price's penis. Who is Mark Price? I'd sure like to meet him and experience the real thing. Bareback if possible.

That's how you write a rebuttal.

Lovelace looks like a bit of a salty fool in this whole exchange IMO.

Ryan did make this type of board popular , just like Tomo and his cut off nose and double diamond tail

Done before but without too much interest

Without Ryan making these the last 10 years and the buzz about them there would be no interest in making a version of these .

The Pig design in longboards was replaced by better working designs in the evolution of design - just how it went
