The asymmetry of Carl Ekstrom

this board reminds me of my bing 2680.
this board is asymmetrical on purpose, where as my bing 2680 is that way due to: "it gets around".
rob from royal surfboards sent this to me.

ps - you may also like this Nelson/Ekstrom I picked up from a guy in OB SD before I left the US. Picked it up for $150 rode it all that summer, and when I brought it in to Channin's to fix it - I was working there for a while - they all blew a nut over it. Again, super fun piggy, with reverse cut fin, and asym tail...

    Assymetricality makes me want to run straight off a cliff.

    While reading meters for SDG& E in 1998, I came across a ten foot, 3 stringer, asymmetrical tail Carl Ekstrom in someone's yard. A little beat, I gave a kid $25 for it. Gave Joe Roper $100 to clean it up. It now hangs in my garage. I would love to hear what Carl thought of it.
