why a swallow tail in a longboard?
ReplyDeletemakes no sense
is not functional only for aesthetics reasons..
and is that a machined shape then finished by the guy?
because Im wondering how clean are the pictures in the wall
thanks
Its a longboard...as long as it catches small waves who cares.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a roughed out blank to me.
swallowtails work on longboards, watch rasta on this link on his "first hand bio"

Swallowtails on longboards are rare but they are functional. They keep the rail line in the water instead of breaking away. It's like having 2 pintails.
ReplyDeleteknow your history - Mirandon twin pin. I'm just sayin
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it's going to be fun. The rails look nice.
ReplyDelete+100 tiki points if you find me in these pictures!
ReplyDeletetiki peaks!!!
ReplyDeleteJ.P. your a boardhore.
ReplyDeleteWere're all jealous.
Thats a Frye influenced glider NOT a longboard. Skip's been making and surfing those for quite some time. they use a single into a double concave/v..you don't ride the nose on those boards..they're all about glide, speed and trim.
ReplyDeleteThat's most likely a hand shape which Chris does a hell of alot of. The reason for the clean walls is probably because chris is one of the most tidy, organized, hard working people in the business..i would know because I'm on the east coast and he calls me at 8am my time to chat when he gets to his shop!
JP, chris made me an 11' footer and its one of the best boards i've ever had! makes a knee high day feel special! Have fun!
maybe I can take out a low interest rate loan to afford one of his boards..
ReplyDeleteyuppie fantasy...
Am I the only person who noticed Chris looking @ it with Bonzer fins? I'm drooling....
ReplyDeleteoooh, is it really gonna be a B3? Neat-ohhhh!
ReplyDeletebooti full.
ReplyDeletelike a fresh muzhadell.
Chris has a brand new factory so yeah, it's pretty clean but give it 30 years and it will be just as ratty as Moonlight!

ReplyDeletedo an air
yuppie fantasy, ha! Maybe you need to work a little harder you pesky hippy!
ReplyDeleteI'm just kidding!
did chris learn how to shape from skip frye?
ReplyDeletei'm a hippie because I am in awe of surfboards that cost a smooth grand for 5'10" of foam and glass?
ReplyDeletebring on the patchouli oil and the bush!
I plan on running over hippies and yuppies alike on this board, hee hee.
