MORE FROM "THE KING OF THE SURF HIPPSTER'S" BLOG

"i rode this board in europe several times last year. something just wasn't quite right. a straight rail line and slopey rocker made it ride long and sluggish. i thought cutting a diamond tail might give it a little spark. take the rail line down an inch or so while leaving the stringer intact. so i did. but it just looked ridiculous with this long narrow nose and a snub tail. so i decided to cut the nose off too.
my friend wanted me to trace the nose off his favorite fish and make a template. i thought that was quite frivolous and the only logical way to finish it off was a diamond nose. symmetry.
it looks ridiculous but it was really fun to ride. really immediate and responsive and no swing weight in the nose.
then this dude cut two tiny holes in my knee and stuck scissers in one hole and a camera in the other, moved some shit around. my knee still doesn't really understand what happened. i haven't been able to to try it again. possible pt. 2 when my knee figures shit out." -DANE REYNOLDS, he doesn't capitalize his i's either !!.  he also does crazy stuff to old boards like me just come to my garage and u'll see all of my on going projects
