Chris Christenson C-Bucket

Great to hear BWM. That board looks absolutely solid, just a great overall shape. And when you get bored with it, it could make a great wall hanger.

Didn't you pick that board up for like $100 or something ridiculous like that? Probably one of the best "scores" I've seen on SI.

 

I hunt craigslist... picked this up for 160 in DC.... mint condition for the age... only a few minor scratches but Ive worked them out already. Thanks KR. Takereasy dude.

 

This sweet baby arrived today.

 

That looks like an Andreini shape...give us the deets mon.

 

Christenson C-Bucket Red Line.
6'10" x 20 3/4" x 2 5/8"
Has to be the prettiest board i've ever bought. Wudn't cheap.
Frothin on getting it out in proper Jerzy juice and some big Wildos and Marias in a few weeks.
Anyone gots some deets aboot performance on this shape at this size.

 

Nice looking stick. At first glance of "dems", I was thinkinh no good for juicy/steep barrels. But, that tail looks like it can handle. No experience but will be curious how it does in solid steep surf.

 

I have the Flat Tracker model 7'2. I lve surfed it from 2ft to 8ft barrels, mushburgers, point breaks. Surfs really well down the line and is super responsive. I am still trying to figure out how to control the speed at times.

 

Never rode any of his boards but I'm a big fan of his shapes, especially his fish. Definitely schooled in the old San Diego school. His boards are very popular from San Diego to San Francisco. I'd be surprised if that thing doesn't fly on big PR juice.

Nice score brah, I know his boards ain't cheap.

 

Thanks for da feedback ABC123.
Not sure aboot it handling some of the slabbier mutants in deez parts, but more thinking of getting in earlier and sliding in when most are having to free fall into the proper barrels here. Def backdoor peak with ease.
All boot the 'ease' with me now that i'm gettin close to the Five O mark and me body doesn't act like it used to in the cold water.

 

Yah your going to me pumped. Im from Ocean County and the board def gets in early on the heavier top to bottom days. But I must say, some of my favorite sessions have been in Long Beach, NY when its head high and standing up down the line. I know another guy in the area that has a c-bucket and he loves it.

 

Nice, and yeah that's another avenue of the board i'm ampin on. Trim and flow and what not. I have 6'1" Merrick single fin (haven't ridden it in years) and always dug riding the wave as opposed to riding the board if ya know what I mean.

 

Nice bort. I have an LB from his brother Eric that I ride when it's punchy.

 

Rode my C-Bucket for the first time today and it was love at the first wave. Chest to shoulder fast clean waves and it was a dream. Didn't get much open face time but could really feel the flex in the board due to the tapered stringer. Can't wait to get into some long open faces at Wildos next week.
