Comment on 9’3 Takayama In the Pink by mark

I owned one and this is all i have to say – $900+ is a Way fucking ridiculous price. Its a surfboard for Christ sakes not an ark of the covenant.
For $900-1200 Bucks i don’t even want to ride it cause it doesn’t add up to the wear and tear. And if you go to sell it, you will NEVER break somewhat even.

Comment on GoPro Camera Review: Surf Hero by Dave

Got this camera for christmas from my wife. Just used it for the first time, I have a board made from a local shaper who put fcs plugs in the nose and tail so I can mount the camera. I followed all of the instructions, and during its first uses the clip on the top of the camera that holds the casing closed broke off. This caused the camera to come out of the casing and be lost. Neither go pro or best buy will replace it. Look in the warranty it states go pro does not cover any damaged or lost products during water activities cause of what they stated, “User error while sealing case”. All in all dont buy this product unless you want to throw 250.00 in the ocean

Comment on Surftech Xanadu Rocket Fish by Altomonsta

Love this board! Surfed it for first time today (5’10″ surftech) and it was so fun. I was riding it at an outerisland point break at about waist to head high and it caught waves easy, was so loose and kept under my feet nicely. Can’t wait to ride it again tommorow. I’m 5′ 7″ and 175lbs and probably what most people call an average surfer (surfing about 11 years or so). Other boards I ride are a 5’11 biscuit, 6’4″ twinzer, 9’9″ log and 9’6″ SUP. It catches waves as easy as my twinzer and the biscuit but rides different and looser then both. Definately something new and fun.

Comment on Which do I choose? Epoxy or Traditional Fiberglass Surfboards by Chenny

JR, I don’t think you can compare a PU board and epoxy board with same dimensions…. Just because the PU board’s dimension fit you doesn’t mean the epoxy one will. epoxy boards do float more and are more sensitive to bumps, so thats why you need to find an epoxy board that fix you. ( I mean you can’t expect different guitars with same strings to sound the same, right? ) I’m from santa barbara so the surf is always inconsistent here, and when i go down south to surf i’m usually forced to bring a few PU boards because they do get dinged up easily. (and ding repairs aren’t cheap) And ever since i got an epoxy board, I could just put an board in my back sit and surf where ever. And it’s not like if you have an epoxy board then you can’t have a PU, go ahead and take out your PU board on big days. but you have to think about the future, I would rather sacrifice alittle bit of performance to save mother earth!

Comment on Costco Surfboards Direct From China by matt

I totally share the sentiments of “Stinky”, above.
People who by communist sticks have no soul, no awareness of surf history, and no place in the line up.
I run over about 10,000 of them every week end.
They can’t surf, they can’t swim, and they bring their stupid girl friends right in to the impact zone…………KOOKS..
Stay home and ride your Cosco – Paragone – Degree 33, as well as Stewart, etc. etc. sell outs in the freekin swimming pool.

Comment on Vintage Signed Gerry Lopez Lighting Bolt by Jay

Jay — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:21:44 +0000

I foolishly sold a Lightning bolt shaped by Lopez to a surf museum. It was bright green with red bolt on the deck. Don’t even want to say how little I let it go for.but hopefully it’s hanging on the wall there still north of coffs harbour nsw.

Sorry to hear about your dad, I never met him personlly, but he did design and build my first custom board back in 1967, I believe his shop at that time was in Van Nuys. He did a great job and built some beautiful boards, I’m sure alot of people must miss him.I’m just getting back into it so maybe I’ll try one of your boards this year on the North Shore,I’ll be in Hawaii Dec. to Jan. Drop me aline if you can tell me A good place to try one of your designs Thanks
