I imagine mr buzz would be my wedge/seal board if I still surfed south side seal. Never wedge. I can mention those spots because some idiots blew them up long ago. I used to beg people to paddle out w me on the biggest days. Now it’s a complete zoo.

xmesa - grew up surfing seal. really got into bodyboarding 97 - stopped surfing for a bit. there were some massive days in august and that fall of 97. I was out with only 2 other guys on one of the biggest days. got probably the biggest barrel of my life. got addicted. Yeah...barba and roach were there during that time - probably earlier 90's. Went out at wedge a few times, but preferred some semi secret spots in laguna.
surfed south side a few times, but was over it when I blew a wave because a camera guy popped up and scared me. last time I went it was like the north shore or something. photogs everywhere, crowded as F. I was over it. probably not a good idea for my old body anymore.

Somebody buy this so I don't:
5'3 x 19 1/4" x 2.3" Sk8 deck for $250. I'm guessing 30+ liters based on some similar numbers Dave emailed me back in the day.

Sk8 at 2.375" = 2.58" my gbuzz same thickness but 20 25" wide and 5'2" I think its like 32 litres.Somebody buy this so I don't:

Price dropped to $225 today for some reason, so fck it - I bought it. With $110 shipping to Hawaii - it's still a deal.
Hey racer I hope that you love the Mr. Buzz so you'll finally shut up about how great the Lost Puddle Jumper is.
PJ sucks! lol
Hoping Mr Buzz can be a two board quiver with the Fling for small waves up to when I need my Ghosts.

I am really curious to see how you like the Mr. Buzz.
5'3" is tiny!

Back in the day when I emailed Dave about ordering one he told me Stretch said 5'3 x 19" x 2.3" (no Sk8 deck). That didn't seem right as I'm 6'1 and 185. But Dave said Nathan Fletcher is 6'0 and 185 and rides 5'2 x 19" x 2.15 Sk8 deck. Dave said you gotta ride it tiny.
Speaking of which, I saw Nathan out at Honolua the day Jaws ran in December and he was riding a tiny ass board in double overhead waves. He paddles like a maniac.

So funny I called those guys yesterday, they changed the price for me to $225 and Racer got to it before I could check out, glad its going to a good home- enjoy man!
No way! Sorry Gbarsby! I just happened to look at it and was thinking hmmm that’s weird it’s $25 cheaper now.
haha.
I really don't need it either.
it's probably going to be a dog now that I swooped it from you.
didn't swoop anything, those sk8 deck mr buzzs are so fun. I think you'll love it!
Just picked it up from air freight. The 2.3" sk8 deck feels good but holy sh!t this thing is short. Ride report later today.
Board is a rocket. It's very fast, insanely fast and high performance. I used a set of split keels and it was way too fast and loose. Going to try my go to quad set AM larges. Waves were windy AF and about chest to a foot over head with some nice double ups and walls. Threw the fins out 3-4 times and did some high speed banking type turns. You really just stand on the tail and turn in the pocket over and over. Board is a trip.
Problem though, the board is faaaaahking tiny. Dragged myself around the lineup. Can't believe Stretch recommended me an even smaller board than this. I have been riding much more volume recently so maybe it just takes some getting used to. The paddling strain might be a deal breaker.
