Can you identify this board?

Postby Simondo » Sun Aug 23, 2020 9:29 pm

Hi all, new to the forum and surfing, this board came up for sale near me for pretty cheap and I snapped it up on impulse, I haven't been able to find out any info on it so I thought I'd ask on here. Has anyone heard of these before or know where it might come from? Thanks in advance!

Most likely from CHINA. There's two clues.

Is that screw through the deck fins? Is it a soft top?
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

No there is neither , a version of FCS fins had a sticker over the plugs on the deck, the deck is hard but there are strange nose and tail rail protectors, the tail ones would disturb the water flow quite a bit, with that defined edge! :lol:

You are correct, it is a hard board and they are stickers over the fins, which are FCS, as for the nose and tail protectors, do you think it would be best to take the back one off?

Yes take the back one off, there is much more engagement with water flow and transitions at the tail, check to see this “protector” is not hiding dings! :lol:
