  • New boards are great, but let's not forget about the magic that resides within previously-owned surf crafts. In this Joyride, we sample a Ghostshapes Gho2 off the rack at Surfboard Broker. It's a little big, but the thing works!

    I've never ridden a new board in my entire life. Haha.

      Same, my current setup of both board and fins costs a total of $55 and I love it!

    I generally preferred (too old to surf now!) a point break. But being goofy foot, the best breaks in so-cal are backside. Lottsa fun nevertheless. Enjoyed old man's next to trestles. Gentle slope, easy catch, good rides. This was during 60s up til c. 5 or 6 yrs ago. Started surfing in '63 on a used 8'10" pop- out...no decal...lol. for hi school graduation-1966- folks bought me a slightly used 10' hansen....awesome board. Last board i owned was 6'8"...forgot decal. In my son-in- law's garage now.
    Transferred to boogeyboarding in my sunset yrs. Lottsa fun too.
    Yep, great memories.
    I rode motorcycle for 20 yrs, too. Faves were my last 2: kawi 1600 cruiser and kawi 650 ninja. Frau furrowed her brow cuz both in garage at same time. No problem. still married, +52 yrs.
    I promoted myself to boogeyboards...just as much fun...actually easier to ride...jmhofwiw.
    Later, gators!

    I have one of these boards and they go insanely well. Took it to San Miguel on 4-6 ft day and I caught way more waves than usual and was doing better carves than I've ever done. It didn't feel like I was ripping but when I saw the clips my buddy got of me I was shocked at how smooth the turns looked and how much spray they were throwing. This board changed my whole outlook on surfboard design

    more than anything the board looks real heavy. definitely a speed control design.

    I think a sheet of plywood could be magic in perfect trestles or bsr. For the real test paddle out at knee to thigh high Jax Beach

    When is a board too big rather than a mid length?

    • @patefutch6168
      @patefutch6168 2 года назад

      What’s funny is that he said the first one was too big and that thing he was made to take was bigger and way more shitty

  • @patefutch6168

    Your surfing looked 1000x better on thr board you "didn't connect with"
    That other board was so slow and wide
    You look like you're driving a pontoon boat
    You even feel off a wave that had plenty left cause you had to hang an enormous cutback and couldn't save it
