Wow!!! Darth Vader rides KB. I never knew. It do look damn cool. Look forward to hearing how it rides it good surf

Looks pretty cool. I think I would wear a helmut when riding it though. I agree with Walt it will be great to scare the out of drop-ins.

I see that everyone has the same idea....GET OUT THE WAY !!!!! hahaha
Funny thing is, its true, they do get out of the way. Maybe its the way to get all the waves ???? The other thing that happens is, that they watch me ride it. Its so different then any thing anyone has seen.
Last weekend was the first time I had it out with a little bit of size to the waves.About 4'-5' faces. Sat was the tough day. I did find out the the fin box was put in a little crooked. The board pulls to the left just a little. With the butterfly fin I usually ride, it made it a little tougher to turn right.But when you turn right, you better hold on because it would turn on a dime.
Sunday, I changed to reg single fin. Maybe I shouldn`t say "reg" fin because I re-shaped to what I wanted. Changing the fin made a world of difference in the way the board worked. It didn`t seem to pull any more and was just as loose. Being only 17 1/2 wide, it turns real quick.After a few waves, I was getting the hang of it. The board did ok on the speed end. I did have one problem though, I have a habit of putting my right hand on the front to my boards when i`m trying to make it to the inside section. When I do that, with the picklenose, I end up pushing the nose under water. So there goes Zeke off the front of the board.
The board is a blast to ride. Fun was at a all time high !!!! To me, I think the board is a big sucess. I don`t expect anyone else to ride it because of it so short and so narrow. But you never know. I don`t see it changing the surfing industry. It`s not political correct.
Danger is my middle name !!! If its boucning off the sand and rocks riding shore break or getting a close up of my board with my face. Its all fun...


thanks Headwax for posting the pics for me...

Now that was funny !!!! Could THAT be the wave of the future ???

[Scott]

Looks like maybe he didn't heed that warning about the bad brown acid at Woodstock. That's one bizarre board; makes Toofast's pickle look...normal.

I don`t know what you guys are thinking... A hemet for me ??? It should be a bullet proof vest for you !!!! You guys are the ones in DANGER !!! I`ll be at salt creek this weekend with it . That will be fun.

[DrStrange]

Not that kind of helmet toofast, you want the middle ages kind with the big spike coming out of the top

[toofast]

You wouldn`t be making fun of me would you ??? I don`t want to tell my mommy on you! But I will if you force me too !!!!!

All kidding aside... After this mornning at salt creek, I love the board !!! It handled the steep waves like a champ and talk about fast . Never pearled once. I`ll be back there tomorrow..
