I still wish the mike stewart vipers would stand up to a bit of reef rock walking, there my fav fins ever , but after busting 2 pairs (cracking cross the foot pocket) in less than 6 months, i'll have to forget they exist. I had the old viper orange dots and was happy with them, but g-land reef also ...

tiny!

Been considering a eps/epoxy stringerless board next. How's it glassed , double 6oz? I talked to knee-border a while back and he had one said he much preferred it. In theory the flex pattern is supposed to be superior of that of stiff bit of wood down the center. How re you finding it compared to a ...

I think you maybe meant "toe"

The more fins toe in the sharper it turns, but more drag

Good skills , nice looking board, what are the dimensions?

I'm back in cali from dec3 would be cool to come up and paipo some OB with you guys

I think bodysurfers probably get the most out of the wedge so let them have ...

We had a rare ground swell running today, had a great 3 hour surf at a local reef. friend got a couple of shots too.

cool pics, some interesting ones don't know if he has lost his edge or that how they ride.

would like a go to find out

Cool maybe some other version have better sound

looks to have a lot of simmons touches?

interesting board, would that be considered a hydrofoil rail?

No, non of the pics are of mini mundaka (its a reef so a stupid name really), it takes a super North swell to break which is rare, with a W/NW swell ER can be 8ft and mini is still only 1ft! I would head straight for ireland of your doing a trip across here, it looks just like wales and has far bett...

Glad you guys noticed my "trick maneuver" lol. I developed a trick back in my early days of bodyboarding were when i was trying to hurl myself into a 360 to hard I ended up rolling onto my side, I then realized I could do a spin in this odd position. A friend named it "cat on the mat&...
