Guns

What you have there are a few for the serious stuff. First couple are by Mackie: an 8'2" for Garth Dickinson and a serious looking carbon hybrid single. Then a stunner of EPS/wood skinned brute made for Carlos Burle made by a guy in Cornwall named Mark Thomas. I'm a fan of these wood/foam composites as you may well know, and the Mr. Thomas' Glass Tiger boards look very pretty indeed. The asym finally got wet, and I couldn't be happier. The surf was pretty dumpy and crappy basically, but I got a taste of a few corners and I can feel how good this board is going to ride when it actually gets on a halfway decent wave. Well pleased with it, and there's hopefully going to be the time ahead where I'll be able to give it a good run.
