Stretch Surfboards

Surf a 5'10 stretch f4 bat tail.... It my favorite fastest board.... Bought it used epoxy off craigslist $300.... Still rides new.... Cant say enough good things

 

Koa smith rides em so...

 

Been ripping off Stretch's design and build ideas for more than a decade!

 

I borrowed a 5'10" Stretch "What" model (Basically round nose fish quad) and surfed it for a couple of hours on a small thigh-waist high day a couple of weeks ago. LOVED it. Paddled good, accelerated quickly down the line with a few pumps, loose but drivey turns, the light weight made the wide nose come around real quick.

 

I've had a 7'7 IT quad for over 2 years. It looked brand new when I got it. Still looks brand new. Those things are bulletproof. And seem to be cutting-edge. It's as HP as 47L could be. Made in Santa Cruz. They're good man. I see them all over the east and west both. Can't believe I scored it for only $300. Saw the same one on Santa Cruz Craigslist yesterday for $892 lol

 

Stretch boards are, at best, good for a rental in a far off country, when there is nothing else available.

 

O Barry you'd do well on The View with Star Jones

 

I have no idea who that is or what View is, but, just the fact that you know who they are, makes me believe you are suspect at best!!

 

Lol you're such a salty old brah. Someone get some sand in your Sea Breeze?

Even LBCrew says he's been taking ideas from Stretch shapes for some time now. That's the indicator bro.

 

Those boards are extra nice. I think all the late models are EPS/epoxy-Marko foam/wood stringer. Have had my hands on dozens of them and they are first rate. Even those from the 80's-90's are nice clean shapes. Seen the Surtech PVC thailand boards a lot on used racks, nice but can't get into the bouncy ride they provide but are super tough. The surf media kind of hyped him as the four fin guy and it is kinda cool he has made that his niche. Never owned one but would. The rail deck channels are pretty good too, if you haven't had a board with 'em- makes the board easy to hang on to in certain situations, i.e. duckdiving, backside pigdog rail grab bowls,etc.

 

I am glad you got a chuckle out of my comments--that is what they are intended to do, no insults intended.
I have seen a few nice Stretches, but, for SI posting sake, I will always say THEY SUCK!!
Aren't I annoying???

 

Backside rail grab??? garbanzo, you couldn't grab the backside of girls ass......<grin>

 

O Barry do you hang with old Jewish ladies?

 

Nope. Beautiful young French girls, which, BTW, most NH young surfers are 100% terrified of. Either that or the surfers are just plain gay.

 

You chasing frenchies at Boar's Head?

 

Not any more--I married one, long time ago. But they come to visit. Most are really pretty and hot young ladies. My friend and I are stunned why the young surfers here never ask them out--that is why they come here (surfing is an excuse).

 

Ah the québécois. Yeah. There's some brunette tail in NH/ME.

You must be surrounded by the young betas, not the next generation of closers that get it done. O Barry show them how it's done. Sack those broads and raise your heart rate. It's healthy.

 

You guys are making me wanna get a stretch now... Looking on the website, the super buzz looks fun fun fun
