I think it's only fair to pay dues where it's appropriate. I don't know if these guys are on here, probably not, but... Thank you Mike and Alex at Natures Shapes for this awesomeness! Super stoked! I'll do my best to do it justice
I was thinking of having them shape me something very similar, but shorter. Sweet looking board man. Enjoy her. You taking it out in the next few days? Should be a little wave out there. Looking forward to a ride report
Good call on NS dude, that board looks fun. Maybe I'll see ya out there, I'm shooting for Wednesday/Friday. Good board for the waves we're about to get.
FLY as F0ck! I'm planning on getting something similar in size and fin set up.. Nothing I own has a single option.
Thanks for the link to fin box fillers! I was hoping there's something like that out there. If I'm reading the chicken scribble on the ID card right, dim are: 7'0 x 22 3/4 x 2 3/4 running at 51L So PLENTY of volume, with fuller rails, but still a step down from the 60L 8'0 funboard. Epoxy with 6oz of glass should be pretty sturdy, I'm not too worried, and it's very light. Bottom contours look like a slight single concave going into a double closer to the quads on the tail. I could be wrong about this though, haven't seen a lot of boards yet, but that's what it looks like to my eye. Hopefully will be dipping it soon, but I don't know if the 4/3 will hold up to 43F water. That's the thickest rubber I got so far. Either way, I think we'll have a lot of good times together
NS boards are great. I picked one up on craigslist and had to fix it up a bit but its by far my fav board. My next custom will be an NS. Although Phil Taylor is making some sick looking boards too.... wouldn't mind getting one from both.
i have 6 boards shaped by Mike at NS. Mini-Simmons, 3 Rockets, HPSB, Longboard, all cutom some glass, some epoxy. worth the trip out to the island from jers. congrats on a hot board!
Nice board! I have a NS in the quiver and have no problems with it. Hopefully we get a little action next few days.. if I see you out can I take it for a spin? lol jk... but I do know what board to look for now..I'll say hello if we cross paths, take care !
That 4/3 might be pushing it. Hope you have some booties and gloves! Board looks sick though man. Had no idea you were from Long Island too, where do you surf out of?
