stretch boards support and board pron thread

Skate (5’10 19.875 31.5L)
gbuzz (5’8 20 31L)- this is a replacement for my old gbuzz that was full grovel (5’7 21 33L last pic). I rode it way too much and would redline it. Hopefully the slimmer version has same exact feel and slightly more top end - not actual “top end”, Orange County top end

Please give follow up on your Skate with comparison to your Grovel Buzz. I loved my Grovel Buzz in North Carolina beach break, as I love my Super Buzz and Mr. Buzz in the same conditions except a little more punch. Curious about the single concave Skate for the same conditions. Thanks.

Both my Skate’s are single to double (also have a 6’1 round tail sort of step up I only ever touch on vacation once a year). I had two single all the way through Skates years ago. But I was trash back then (living in Sf or NYC, surfing 3 times a month vs OC now 4 times a week). So I think any contrast I think I feel is more my changing skill level than single vs single to double nuances. Sorry not much help.

In general though I keep going back to the Skate because it’s such an easy to ride cheater “short board”- really low entry rocker. It’s not going to do anything your superbuzz or mr buzz cant. But some days, when the waves are good, I want a little more rail line or want to crank some turns without a bunch of nose swing weight. 100% overlap with your boards just different feelzzz.

Pick up or fedex to casa? Love dat blue can't wait to get my blue 5150 My gbuzzz has diamond tell as well and sk8 deck plenty of volume for grovel at 5'2" x20.25" x2.375" stocked also like the skate but can't get myself to ride thrusters again

FedEx- they suck. They accidentally put it on a plane to Washington, then drove it all the way back down. But pretended that was standard and wouldn’t refund.

fwiw they’ll do the skate single to double as a quad or 5 fin. It’s just the single that is thruster only.
