ok, so we’ve taken the 2 part board, and put it back together again. yes, maybe it is a little heavier than it originally was, but for that you get a board that is now what is commonly known as a tanker, and unless the waves are so weak and slow and you’re so fat ( er I mean heavy) that there is a physical problem of being able to catch the wave, once you’ve got the wave a tanker is really fun and actually a lot easier to surf than a lighter more ‘hi performance’ board-. again being fat like me- er I mean heavy is helpful cause you power through turbulence and you muscle the board around rather than just being on top of something that floats and moves. the board in question looks rough, which is cool- I remember when I was little and grandmother would bring Puma or Adidas from the old country ( brands unknown here then not to mention models) I would skuff them in dirt, to get rid of the new sneaker syndrome. I still feel that way a little about a board that has been hardly used. it is also a sign of a board that isn’t known, which is sad for the board and the owner- unless of course it’s a board that NEVER goes into the water ( more like a sculpture), yeah, so the board is stronger than it was , heavier and ready to plow through and over virtually anything normal surfing conditions offer. The metal rod is a unique feature. Once Andrea ( the boards owner ) gives me a report, I’ll post it.it’s the one in the middle. like new and old all together.
