Testing My Boards18

The forecast for decent waves wasn’t really promising as I boarded my flight back to the west coast of Australia.The predictions didn’t bother me so much as I had packed my new Boards and was more than happy to ride anything that resembled a wave while I iron out all the bumps that comes with riding new boards.
As it would be the waves turned on and it was a great way to put the boards through the paces and see how they would perform.
So far I am really pleased on how they feel and how they are holding up.
I’m riding a 41inch PE single stringer board in the photo’s below. I will keep riding this particular board for the next few days before jumping onto a Polypro board (PP) and making sure I am happy with how the boards are performing.

    Hey Mitch,

    Congratulations for your new challenges making your own boards and run your won company. Hope we can have those soon here in Panama.

    So far, in the shoots the board looks great (nice color choice for the deck) I just want to know if your are shaping too or someone else is working with you in this.

    Hope you can make it soon to Panama, we´ll be glad to recieve you and show you the best spots here, please bring a few of your new boards to make a “test” in this warm waters we have here.

    Kind regards,

    Gonx.

    Hi clark, in 3 to 5ft waves I still ride my standard 41inch board if its really big I will weight my boards down for more speed.
    If its really small and slowI will go up an inch to 42 so I can get more speed projection
