Favorite 5'10

here is a story about an old favorite board. a 5'10 - my first 4 fin that was not a fish. inspired by nathan fletcher riding a stretch 4 fin in tahiti circa 2005. i was sanding boards in hawaii and got a hold of a blank that one of the machines went haywire on for free- filled in a huge groove with a railbone and gorilla glue and went to town to get this. i had no logos at the time so i was spraying designs. the bamboo spray to cover the filled groove came out really cool. i fell in love with it after a few surfs and kept finding myself riding it in waves kind of hairy to be riding a 5'10 (i am not bob slater after all). wound up getting some of the best barrels of the winter (and my life) on this board. i had my first kitesurfing sessions on this board. i based my first hotwire rocker template on this board. it has caught waves in hawaii, charleston, obx, and the caribbean! i made a lot of boards trying to replicate the magic of this one for others. pulled it down from the rafters tonight to check out - may be time to make a new one.....

ALOHA DOC!

some fun little waves tonight ... finished up this spicy little number in anticipation for some more tomorrow morning! if you show up at the beach and its flat then you know who brought on the new board curse... 

log review

 I really dig the ride of this board, feels great under my paws. Turns effortlessly and nose rides like I wouldn't believe.  I mean, really...I was so unsure about riding the nose of this thing...but I got the best nose ride of my life on this trip.Thank you so much for putting love into that board.  It was felt.  I hope you're doing well.  Waves this weekend, maybe we'll see yuh.

Its time to sell (sad but true)

giving the grasshopper crew a chance at this one before it goes to craigslist. i have caught a lot of fish and been on many memorable sandbar surf explorations and spent countless hours wakeboarding with this gem of a watercraft....is hard for me to let it go....1992 high tide 16ft with a 2002 johnson 50 hp two-stroke. asking $1500. motor starts right up and runs but is on the way out. perfect for someone with a motor that needs a boat or someone who wants a motor re-build project (comes with brand new fuel pump,power pack / coil / wires and rebuilt carbs) .....give me a call if you are interested 843-327-9383 (also call me if you have a motor you want to sell for a reasonable price and I may be able to keep it in the family....)

Thanks!
