I really like it. Its thick and heavy, although not as heavy as the Jacobs in the foreground. Its faster too, as it doesn’t have as deep of a concave on it.

I bought it because it had big soft rails to suck water over the board and make for easier nose riding. This is the source of the negatives though as it doesn’t like steep faced waves like Scorpion Bay and Malibu as much as it could. Also backing down off the nose feels really unstable to me, which I’m told sharper rails could also help. But that’s prolly just cause I’m a kook.

Overall it’s a great noserider.

Yeah ed they do. Expect to shell out close to 2k for one, but leave knowing you are holding art.

The HAP is a beefy 422, made in the old style. Definately not the new thin, lightweight finboxed version.

It's over. The last beautiful spot north of Ensenada is toast, and has been for a while. Wildcoast has some more story on Salsipuedes.

The gothic dolphins forenever is a black and white interweb existance that's a mess of sudo sociographical texts containing overtones of scientific theory laced between photos of broken boards and grainy shots of gluefoot, in trim. It is well fucking out there... Oakland maybe.

The Surfilmfetibal in San Sebastian (12-15th of Junio) has been running for 6 years. San Sebastian is definately one of my favorite towns in Europe, but I'd go just to put some sound to these band names: "Delorean" and "Los Tiki Phantoms".

The TCA isn't done with their toll road through Trestles yet. They've successfully appealed to the US Fish And Wildlife Service to reject the findings of the Coastal Commission. There is some insight into how the agency has been infiltrated by capitalistic pigs on the erBB. Keep fighting.

The brandnewest Hi-Shredability: Ford and Archy, part 1 and part 2. Fark! I love me some Hi Shred. Side note: If those hollywood dorks weren't such pansies, they would have cast Arch as Tyler Durdan in Fight Club.

If you live in San Diego and the 180 hour stormsurf.com models are correct, the surf report for the next two weeks is as follows: small to micro.
If you've got one of these 10 foot plus Chris Christenson gliders in your quiver though, you won't even notice how small it is. Check the video footage in the VBS.tv on Chris as well.
