"Hi Mike, here is a couple of shots of a board I shaped for Christmas for myself. "The Alley Slider" , named after my local break and favouite Gold Coast beach. She is 10ft x 24" x 3 1/2" with the wide point 18" or more behind 1/2 way and a long concave running back to the wide point and a slight rolled v out through the kick in the tail. The rails are pinched but full as well to get the volume I was after. Nice glass job by Dan Mc Donald here on the Gold Coast. This board is so much fun to ride and seems to do everything I had hoped of it."

those shots of "the alley" made me think of some of Ron Stoner's shots (above) of Black's
Hey this is my local Point break that I can walk to. I live 200 meters up the beach from the point on the beach. I also know Grant. This is where we will be rip shredding on our logs when you come out brohog.

ReplyDeleteHad a test ride on the Alley Slider at its home break and had a great time. I'm not used to 10fters so I just used the black bit up the front. What a sweet ride.
