The new Christenson Wolverine

[Sam_K]

I don't know what it is, I'm assuming a twin fin, but I want one. It looks like a very fun outline.

Maybe in two or three weeks Christenson will deign to bestow upon us a description, and perhaps even a picture of the back of the board if we're lucky.

is it just me, or does the stringer appear to thin out towards the tail?
i would have to be 30 years younger, 30kg lighter and be able to grow a decent moustache to ride one of those......

The stringer does thin out... The stringer on his Nautties does the same thing.

I mean, you can get it big. You can't buy a good mustache though

 

[Thunderbird six]

true, i could go big. i would like to see the fin configuration though.
for some reason that shape screams single fin + side bites to me (+volume).
but then i would need a poorly attached moustache and ride it sans leg rope.
i cant imagine anyone with a sheriff of nottingham goatie riding one of these.
Nor those who sport a blacksmiths beard - this board is too.....aesthetic.
did wolverine have a moustache? shame if he didnt....

That would be a bummer if it's a single fin. Not the board for me.

In my non-expert opinion, I don't think it's mandatory that you go sans-leggie until you've got at least an 8 foot board. This board tops out at 7 foot, which is not deadly enough to warrant going leashless. The only time you should ride without a leash is if your board is gargantuan enough to inflict permanent brain damage on whatever dumb schmuck happens to be in front of you when you fall off.

What's the point of boards like that? Any finesse to the shape drowns in the absurd volume.

All he sees is the board's outline in a picture and he immediately wants one.

i cant even see the complete outline, it’s cut off by the all important text description.

 

[kool-aid]

Looks like a blown-up lane splitter with a more pronounced wing and swallow tail to me.

Well, those dims don’t appeal to me.
but the coy marketing is clearly sparking a lot of engagement. Just needs an avocado in the pic to take it to the next level!

It's the sort of board aimed at making fatties feel better about themselves. Oh wait...did I bring this up in another thread (with a grand total of 14 lols, 3 loves and 2 likes).....



Oh yes I did!

205lbs of greasy weekend warrior? Grab the 6'8" and bro it out!

Here's the French interpretation: (no write-up yet)

 

[One-Off]

Wide point well forward, pulled in tail. This will surf longer than the dims no matter what fin configuration. Maybe single fin is the call. Pump down the line from forward. Shuffle back to the tail to turn. Old school style. YOu're going to need a beavertail.

So it's a longer fish. What a concept.

very underrated board.

[tedshred5]

idk it sounds fun to me, esp the mushy reefs I surf. but I already have another hipster long fish

would like to see the twin fin placement. if it's the same as the Lane Splitter then hard pass

 

[Maz]

very underrated board.

You seen a few around, FR? Looks very good for long point waves, I reckon.

 

[Leonardo]

Great board. He describes it with details on the video
