Totally agree. First surf at the open beaches in 1 foot offshore was incredible. Paddles so fast and it turns beautifully with that slightly rolled bottom.I love it!! Its going to love the points. Just need some waves!!!! Also will try in the Maldives and see what it does!!!
I have five white CD boards. The newest two are still crisp white. The oldest three have a very mild off white tinge. They are not yellow or custard coloured like the Firewire I had. They are kept indoors so it's likely a function of heat and resin versus direct sunlight. The garage can get very hot in summer here over 40 degrees C.
sidenote: These boards are built strong. One survived a clash with a rocky reef and another got run over with the rails fin chopped. Repaired and still going. They don't have indents where the feet go. I'm a fan of the construction.
@blinksurf awesome, living in California so not much info about CD over here. Torn between choosing the chunky toe or the sacrifishal. Leaning towards CT since I'm 6'4 and the CT would be 6'1 opposed to 5'9 SF
@@spiffjiff05 I have had both. I'm 6 2 and about 220 Pounds and only Intermediate ability. My SF was 5 10. My CT is 6 4. The CT is an incredible thruster in sloppy waves but works well in better waves as well. Great range on it. Video of it here ruclips.net/video/dOiIroAAJJ4/видео.html
@blinksurf sounds like CT is the way to go, do you know if they ever have in stock CTs with the painted rails? Looks super cool but don't want to wait a month plus international shipping. Planning to go with the 6'1 stock dims. Assuming it's a paddle machine with the extra foam around the chest compared to the toe?
Looks so good James can’t wait to see it in action in Indian Ocean!
should be fun!
looks like it's made for first point or Ti tree , Stew always made good boards like John Mills , a bit big for me still ride 6.0 thrusters

Hi mate. I have a Middle Toe (7'0 48L) that looks very similar in outline and with the channel. Do you know how the models compare?
Yes I have a couple of Middle toes as well. The Mid Mod is just narrower in the nose. Slightly more agile.
Does the board stay white over time or has it turned yellow?
