Get some more boards fuck yeah. Just picked up a custom and trying to get more orders in. Said I wasn’t buying any more maybe a year ago and have been constantly rotating quiver.

Dialing it in though. Also, back on pu/poly. Can’t surf rail to rail on eps. Shaper says it’s my size? Wtf do I know?

oh, work close to a consistent spot you can squeeze sessions in.Wife gets resentful but what you gonna do?

Haha. No worries either way. I was just being funny. I'm realistic about that very specific limitation in my BS surfing. And I've probably been more aware of it lately since I've been riding keel fishes a lot the last few months. I blew another left last week... right in front of my buddy, who laughed his ass off. :rolleyes: It's become comical and is probably in my head a bit now.

Toobz- So, that is the shaper for Album in OZ? Looks like yours will be for good waves! stocked.
I was looking at the fish version, Fascination, or the Asym Bullet (quad fin but asym tail).

^ The 5'6 Bullet (one on the left) is available used for the bargain cost of $740.

Hey mate, yeah Nathan is the shaper for Album here in Oz.
I’m hoping it will work in that chest to double OH range.
I looked at both the Fascination and Bullet but I’m more than covered in that wave range. I did see this Insanity with a similar tail shape to the Bullet that peaked my interest but after a bit of back and forth opted for the regular asym tail.

I did some work for HIC a few weeks back. Got a text don’t forget to invoice us and if you want to settle up in trade we can. So I replied reimburse materials and I’ll take trade, how many boards for the balance. He replied 3 but nothing too fancy. Haha. I’m assuming he means eps/epoxy or full gloss longboards. So I guess I can order 3 HIC Kerry Tokoro’s. Probably spread them out over the rest of the year. Going to start with a 6’4 pintail thruster to fill a hole in my NS quiver. Having boards in the bank are a good feeling.

Friend of mine just got a Kerry, it felt and looked incredible.


After taking L's on my last three XTR boards (Patterson IF-15 that was awesome but too light, Rusty Blade that felt slow and Patterson Pool Party that felt too stiff), I'm going back to a local guy who makes fish shapes I like for $380. Have a 5'5 quad that should be done in a few weeks.

Curious about your experience with TP IF-15 and Pool Party. Was the Pool Party to low (tail) rockered?

Sounds like the Pool Party 2 has slightly more tail rocker, or maybe I imagined that.

Gunther Rohn makes the T Patterson boards in Australia, and I'm tempted to order an IF-15.

I would get an IF-15 and neither of the Pool Partys. I had a Pool Party 1 and the construction felt too stiff, but the design didn't feel as good as the IF-15. IF-15 is the winner.

Racer, better go thru TP direct for best results. Broke my first two IF15 and PP within the first month:0
Ordered couple more, PP2 and Scorpion. These boards look so nice I almost dont even want to surf them.
I hear the guys are all raving about the PP2. The GM loves the Scorpion.

The Kerry Mojo was a solid board. Had a 5'10 28.8 ltr swallow, next go around i would try squash, it was slightly stiff with the Swallow. easy board to ride, good all around.... Uncle Steve is Aloha!

I am in the same boat, 2.5 year old and a 7 month old. It was tough once we had the first, but the second really ends all free time. I cant tell you how little i surfed over the last 7 months and when i do get out, the sessions are short and pressed. I just try to enjoy myself for like an hour maybe a little longer. Figured it should get better in about 15 years, by then ill only be able to ride a log.
