Magic board?

i had a 6/8 CI that i found at a garage sale (!!).....
just magic. rode it into the ground then donated it in nicaragua.

considering the "times," it was way ahead of everything else or at least seemed so to me.

sometimes i fantasize about going to nicaragua and buying it back....

 

5'8" average joe....great in thigh east coast crap and 8 foot pavones perfection!!!

 

This is mine btw, for the 4 ft and up steeper stuff...

 

My first board. A pop out made in china. Gary Linden. Got it at the Rockaway Surf shop. Used. I think it was 6'1, which at the time was like a mini gun for me. But I could turn it. And it went really, really fast compared to the 15 year old log I was riding to learn. I honestly remember my first wave on it. Breezy Point in front of the Beach Club next to the rocks. Got a chest high right and it felt like I had a magic carpet underneath me. I spent more time in the ocean than on land that day.

I also had a Rusty in my late teens that I was scoring some of my first real head high + waves. Can't remember the dims but it was on the rounder side, kind of like a hybrid fish. I guess that's where the industry was heading (or reverting to, as it were). It too was a dream machine.

My CI pod is pretty sweet for east coast summer knee to chest - 5'6 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/8.

Vec Allinone 6’2 x 18 7/8 x 2 5/16 - 5 fin set up. Its a great, great machine.

 

9' Tim Nolte HPLB. Surfs anything up to head high and slightly over.

 

Awesome

 

Congrats Matt for getting into ESM. You look dreamy.

My name was in there an issue or two ago, so that makes me sort-of-cool. The editor there just loves me(heavy sarcasm).

Wow, you know Radbrad too, huh? Wow, this place is like a southern family, we're all related somehow.

 

Dude I love the FutureFlex. My first board too.

 

DK or stand up boogie?

Welcome, Huntington.

 

Welcome, Honeyton.

 

Well of course you are all related. You have been banging your sisters, each others sisters, nieces, etc....that DNA gets passed around within your families!! You probably all look alike too, huh?? <grin>

Now, as for my favorite board ever?? G&S Magic Roundpin . Still have it. Its been on 14 faces and 2 foot chop--works great everywhere.

 

Haha thanks Riley. Yeah b rad is a solid dude and surfs super fast and fluid. When I grow up I'd like to throw turns like him. Eastern Surf Mag is the best. They do great pieces that people ought to hear about. Super thankful they helped me spread my message.

 

Do you think it would go as good in big man dims? 38ish?

 

do the copies work right?

 

Dooooode I got a new magic board!!! WRV Generator sooooo goooood!!!

 

definatly! why how much do you weigh. Im 180 before the wetsuit and 30 liters is perfect.

 

I'm 195 right now and wouldn't be on 30l's even if I was 180. My boards are all from 36 to 40ish.

 

Im just worried that if you go to big the board will get real wide therefore getting slow and less skatey. Check the WRV site I think a 5'11" would work.

It was a one board quiver for anything from waist-chest high to well overhead. Travel board, winter board.
