Green Fish

I met up with Greg Geiselman at his house by NSB to pick up my new stick today and got her wet for a few hours at the Inlet. I ran into Josh, who did all the glass work, right before her Mayden voyage, and he was stoked.

Waves were pretty weak, knee / thigh with maybe a waist high wave every now and then but it was a wait for those. I didn’t get to really put her through her paces but I did catch a few quick rides.

She paddles great, duck dives great, and catches waves easily. I will have a better ride report soon, just need better waves.

Anyways, I can’t thank Greg, Josh, and anybody else who worked on the board enough. They did a great job!

After a fun and refreshing surf my wife and I went to lunch overlooking the beach from “The Crows Nest”. Cool breeze was blowing, live music was being played, Kona IPA’s were cold and my Shrimp Po Boy was on point. I barely stayed awake on the way home...

 

Thanks dude, she’s 5’8”x21”x2.5”, and it’s a little darker green than those pics when it’s not in the sun.

 

Thanks Kanman, a Blue Fish sounds awesome!

 

Indeed it was! Gracias Mang, just in time for Spring swell season.

 

Correction, it’s 21” wide, not 21.6”, the 0 on the stringer looked like a 6 but I measured it and looked at my emails with Greg and confirmed it’s 21”.

 

I used your recommendations on the dimensions, thanks for the help.

 

Yeah, total waste of $580.

 

Thanks bud, it’s exactly what I had in mind when I told them what I wanted, couldn’t be happier.

 

So after a few sessions I’m starting to get the feel of this thing. I’m not completely dialed in but some fun rides so far. I have ridden it in knee, waist, and chest - head high surf. While it catches small waves, it really likes a medium - bigger wave. It’s fasts as hell, loose and skatey. I have to harness that speed, and remember to get my back foot further back to drive through my turns. It’s taking some getting use to but I’m having fun doing it.

 

Thanks bud, maybe i’ll take it for a spin at the secret Inlet one day.

 

Yesterday when I was walking to the water with my boart in hand I overheard a guy tell his buddy “now THAT is a sick board!”
