New board

Buying anew board today,haven't bought myself a new board in a long time, last time I bought a board was about 6 years ago. I didn't plan on buying a new board, it's only because I lost a find on my other surfboard while surfing a spot in Avalon called off rocks, and as the name says it is a wave that breaks off the rocks and yes, I hit a rock, which snapped the fin of a board , just buy another fin you might say.Unfortunatly the fin system on that board is not in production , so I can't buy one anymore. So here we are at mi mates , Bevan,surfshop.I know Bevan from a long time ago, he was a succesfull male model, did quite well, stopped and opened a surf shop in Avalon called Boardscape.

He's putting the fins in my new board ( oh yeah, he gave me an awesome mates rate 200 bucks off the sale price ) He's sititng on the floor with his backsideto the door and we're having a bit of a laugh as someone just walked in and commented on his plumbers crack

Double concave, can't wait to feel how this board will go, was not keen on getting a new board, was quite happy with the board I had

This board was originally made for Joel Parkinson one of the top 16 pro surfers, it was to be used in Jack McKoy's film Free as a dog. But pro surfers end up with a lot of boards, and this one made it to Bev's shop. And that's why there is a signature on the board, now, I could just buy this board and sell it for quadrupple the price to some kid in Japan, because it has a signature on their of a pro surfer

no hard feelings Joel, but I want to go surfing, and not with your name scrawled all over my board
