Thunderbird…

218

good morning. 6 am thursday morning. still dark outside but have a feeling the waves on the north shore are good. buoys still 10 feet 16 seconds so still solid 8-10 feet. no wind and clear skies. i’m putting my 7’0 and 7’4 in the car and heading out. sunset? haleiwa? umm… can’t wait. see you out there…

i got a few emails about my new board. so instead of answering to all of you, i will do a blog on it.
this is a chris kaysen thunderbird model. kaysen is from san clemente and has been shaping for TSSC for a long time. he designed this model for small mushy waves in both california and japan. i wanted to test it out in good waves so i brought it back with me to hawaii. i’ve been riding this board everyday since. it’s super fast, super loose, and super fun. it’s a 5’8 and the shortest board i own….

i can ride it with three fins, four fins, or five fins. i check the waves and decide what kind of fin setup i will use for the day. this board is fun and has been making surfing a lot more interesting.. thanks TSSC and chris kaysen…
