I wax the bottom and fins like a snowboard right? I am so ready to shred. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rockin.gif" alt="" />
NO SOL @ AB3, he's got a father daughter dance thing to do. You can get your tickets on-line at the center for the arts
Here is mine,
5'9" x 19 7/8" x 2 3/8"
Surfed it a couple of times. Goes good backside in small waves.

they are the Belik Stiletto fins. They come with the Shadow when you order it. Since I already have them, I'm getting some twins and trailer (not sure if they are Von Sol branded fins or what) The Belik quads are damn good fins. I wish I could find em in Lokbox but I just use the "grip-its"

Just picked it up from Mattison.
Since I already had the Belik quads, he included the twins and trailer. That trailer looks like a wakeboard fin...
More later. Gotta put the pad on.

I ordered 6.0 x 20 1/2 x 2.5 in EPS... Sean called me and suggested going wider. Its probably 20 3/4 or 20 7/8. I gotta measure. Its not written on the stringer.
Just stop by the pad and pickup some of the flu I'm just getting over dude. It hit me like a shlt brickhouse on May 25 and I weighed in 20 lbs less this morning. I haven't seen 215 lbs in years, plus the fever dream bonus was killer!
Damn.
Both yours and TFAD's look insane.
I want to try those twins he hooked you up with at some
point! Saw those on Sean's board and they look killer.

Color turned out well!

Heres a shot w/ the gigante Mattison pad.
Comparasion to the MR template. The Von Mattisons are just a tad bigger.

Very nice FF. Thank you for the fin shots to show the difference between the MR template. That shadow looks really fun. I kept my Belik fins from the Ma'alaea that I sold and plan to use them at some point on another quad. Post up your thoughts after riding it please.
had fun on this thing this morning in chest-head beachbreak... I had it outfitted with the Belik quads.
So far I can say this. It is pretty similar to the Black Knight but the tail is more engaged in the wave.
I had a dominator (sold it quickly - fun board but meh. The tail was too thick!)in the same/similar dims and the Shadow has better release off the top.. I like it!
I want to try it with the H2 fronts and GX / GX-Q trailers... That was my favorite quad setup on the BKII I used to have.
Next up - twins
I'll report back after I paddle out on it 4-5 more times. So far so good!
