Selling my baked potato. I love this board, rode it July 2013 to September 2013. Selling because I feel like it had too much volume for me and ruined me when it came time to switch over to my winter board. Great for a big guy in weak surf. Works in anything from knee to shoulder high and friggin flies. Has stomp pad and composite quad fins. Paid over $750 asking $450.
Thanks for the offer but I wouldn't dare ride a sweet potato and get even more messed up. I love both the sweet and baked but I can't go through what I did last fall. Blew a trip to Hatteras because I couldn't get used to my big wave board fast enough, to salvage the trip I switched back to the baked potato in over head dredgers and got worked, lol.
zip, I realize your trying to sell a board and not trying to disrail the thread, but could you tell a big difference between the sweet potato(assuming you've ridden one) and the baked potato? I do realize your thoughts will be swayed because of the size, 5'9" is big for those boards. I have a 5'6" sweet potato and sometimes wish I had have gotten a 5'2" and I'm about 190 lbs.
I've never ridden the sweet potato so couldn't say. I can say that this board in this size flies under my 190 lb heavy footed approach. Lots of speed, turns well etc. I was able to ride it it in overhead surf in Hatteras last fall. Not the best board for the day but had no choice. Took some beatings but also nailed a few big lefts.
I got a 6'2" Spitfire. would you entertain a trade? shouldn't have a prob with switching back and forth since the 6'2" is more conventionally shaped. I did a little damage to the nose last summer and repaired it myself. I would throw in 100 on top of trade because of repairs. I am in southern DE and surf OCMD frequently.
Will you be in northern DE/south NJ anytime in the next few weeks? Would pick this thing up but I'm located in AC
