What board are you vibing on these days?

[slimgouda]

We’ll see if I vibe with this or not. Foiled out, pinched rails, hard edge in tail then down rail throughout. Minimal nose rocker, lots of tail rocker, bottom has a concave entry to convex. Looks real fast.

@Ricksurfin Would love a ride report on this. I was very tempted myself. Glad it wound up in good hands.

I’ve been eyeing ospreys for a while. Not much information or ride reports. What dimensions is this one?

I’ll definitely give a ride report. Drilled out, resined and glassed a drill thru leash attachment from deck thru box yesterday, so it’s ready to go now if we ever get waves. I’ll surf beach break without a leash, but with all the rocks and cobbles at SanO didn’t want to go there. Sorry, just not hipster enough. Lol

9’9” x 23” x 2 7/8”. Nose 18 1/2”, tail 18” (I think, I’ll have to remeasure). Rails are pinched, and tail is really foiled out. Lots of contours throughout bottom, and as Dane says, “not a flat spot anywhere”.
The more I look at this board, and feel it up, the more excited I am to try it.

Anyone who works at mollusk sf

I mean it is cool to be unique..different..
But the whole lumberjack theme..wearing
Using
So many man "products"..and
The artisan stuff as smukes has so adroitly pointed out..
I know why don't we have a post/thread with pics of hipsters..that might be easier..
And definitely some sort of poll..

Was hoping to go to Hawaii for the 25th Anniversary but Covid killed that for now. Anyhow, the wife was getting me a T&C Saint twin fin. Want to relive the youth, so going to get a 80’s spray something along the lines of this.....

That is spot on...ha..

That is because of their mantra..
"The ocean belongs to all of us,
Except this wave is mine"

That and this crap i saw..in Beach Grit..
About santa cruz being racist misogynist..
Not where i surf.
Probably these weenie surf school owners..
Saw an opportunity for some free press..i dunno.
