Here's something I was wondering. Your new board is a 9'0"? Your Zeke is longer I assume? Maybe 9'6" and a fuller, heavier and thicker shape? The Zeke is the board you have ridden the most since you got it? The last year or two, day in---day out? Riddle me this and I will present my theory. Lowel

-Tony Staples 5'8''. Loose. Not so much of a small wave board as a funky change-up board when things get boring.

-Dirty Bird 6'1'' 20' 21/2'. Lake Erie to Rincon to Central America to OBX to Oregon to Florida. She's been around and she's been wonderful. She surfs conditions she isn't meant to and rides like a longboard when she has to.

-the white one is a new one, North Pacific, 6'1'' 191/4'' 21/2'', round tail, single to double concave, fusion fcs fin system came with honeycomb fiberglass fins that are adjustable 1/8'' front or back - way better than the old system. Also, had a very pleasant experience with the shaper, and got the board in an unrealistically short amount of time. I stopped in 4 times during the process and wasn't ever told to get lost.
Southern Oregon / Northern California all next week to see if it works...

-6'6'' good wave guy. flowy, drivey . Wish I got to surf it more.

Hi Forum
I finished building a 9 ft "Root " long board at Grain Surfboards in York Maine back in August. I'm waiting for the shop to glass it for me and I'll post pictures the end of October. The whole experience was a blast and the surfing in Maine wasnt bad . It was warmer than Oregon

Would look tough as hell if you just mounted a glass eye in that gap ! I would recommend something with a slit pupil. Imagine the stinkeye potential. You could call ANYONE off any wave :twisted:

Dims kinda go somtin like dis......

Like the big funky
Nick named Eazy-E
Yo 8-Ball Junkie
Bass drum kickin
To show my sh*t
Rappin holdin my d*ck
Boy I dont quit
Loud wild mutha f*cka
From around the way
I gotta sick shooter
Yo mean hombre
Wanderin through the hood
To find the boys
To kick dust and cuss
Crank up the noise
Police on my drawers
I had to pause
40 ounce in my lap
And it's freezin my balls
Hooked a right turn
Let the boys go past
And I say to myself
'They can kiss my a**'
Stopped at a light
Put the 8 at my lips
Put in the old tape
Marvin Gayes Greatest hits
Turn the beat up
Have the base cold rompin
Crusin through the East Side
South of Compton
See a big a**
And I said 'word'
I took a look at the face
And the bitch was to the curb
Hoes on me
for the title I'm holdin
Eazy-E's F*cked up
An got the 8-Ball rollin'

[Chorus]

(I was)
Whose Kickin' a**?
(I was)
Raised in LA
(I was)
Crusin down the street in my 6-4
Ridin Los Loses
Lookin for Crenshaw
Turned down the sound
To diss yo law
Stopped at a light
And had a fit
Cause a Mexican almost
Wreaked my shite
Flipped his a** off
Got into the car
My bottle was empty
So I went to the store
Nigga on tilt
Cause I was drunk
Seen a sissy a** punk
Had to go in my trunk
Reached inside
Cause it's like that
Came back out
With a silver gat
Fired at the punk
And it was all because
I had to show the nigga
What time it was
Put up the Jam
It ends like a mirage
A sissy like that
Got out to dodge
Suckers on me
For the title I'm holdin
Eazy-E's F*cked up
And got the 8-Ball rollin

[Chorus]

Old East 800
Yeah thats my brand
Take it in a bottle
40, Quart, or Can
Drink it like a mad man
Yes I do
F**K the police
And a 502
Stepped in the party
I was drunk as hell
Three b**ches already said
'Eric yo breath smells'
40 ounce in hand
Thats what I got
(Yo man you see Eazy hurlin in a parking lot)
Stepped on yo foot
Cold dissed yo hoe
Asked her to dance
And she said 'hell no'
Called her a b**ch
Cause thats the rule
Boyz in the hood
Tryin to keep me cool
Dammit homeboy
You wanna kick my but
I walk in you face
And we get them up
I start droppin the dogs
And watch you fold
Straight dumb fulla cum
Got knocked out cold
(Made you look sick
you snotty nosed prick
now yo fly b**ch
is all over his d**k)
Fool got dropped
For the title I'm holdin
Eazy-E's f*cked up
And got the 8-Ball rollin

[Chorus]

Pass the brew M*tha F*ckas
While I trash it up
And yall listen up close to role call:
Eazy-E's in the place
I got money and juice
Rondevues with me
And we make the duce
Dre makes the beat
So g*d damn funky
Do the old 8
F*ck the Brass Monkey
Ice Cube writes the words
That I say
Hail to the niggaz
From CIA
Cazy beat is down
And in effect
We make hard core jams
So f@#K respect
They can toast public parking
To the title I'm holdin
Eazy-E's f*cked up
And got the 8-Ball rollin

Just for kicks.
Here you go.
9 foot.
Hand shaped from closed cell automotive foam used in bumpers.
More float, more resilience to damage.
Carbon fiber I-beam stringer.
Flexes on turns and pops out of flex to project out of the turn.

Parabolic rails----side cut just like a snowboard or modern skis.
-------allow release of water in the middle of the board when on the nose.
------- also allows the board to twist and the tail to hang in when on the nose.
Single fin....George Greenough design---hatchet fin.
Extremely chined rail on tail....similar to a finless body board rail.
Can be ridden finless.
Wayne Lynch is experimenting with finless 360's on the face on a 7 foot version.....mini log.

No it's not a soft top pop out from China.
Best longboard I have ever owned.
Designed by the same guy who invented fin boxes and removable fins. (wave set fin boxes in late 60's)
