Foldable surfboard

I think this might be my next surfboard. I saw someone using it at my local break and this kinda works well for me. This will allow me to take the train to do dawn patrol before going to office. Driving is no joke in NYC and the train gets me to the beach must faster than the car. But for the price, I could probably just rent a locker!

Either way, it looks interesting. Definitely would like to try riding one.

Looks like a good solution. I know jaffa has a similar board that I think has done him well; but with new materials and processes these boards should be even better

Cost is not too bad considering they are making 2 surfboards and hooking them together

Yep a Pope Bisect, performance, a basic standard longboard 9‘1“ reliable, and well cared for. Pricey yep. There was a carbon stealth model all sorts of issues, mine, vacuum bag normal EPS made. About 50 to 60 days in the water over 10 years. No real issues, surfed to double overhead on occasion. .
Caution though, many complaints in regard to service and problems from various suppliers so maybe, other brands with different systems may serve better. The carbon compact has two carbon fiber tube systems and different locking.

The really testing surf in Indo I alway have my Mango Ganesh trusty ( Outer Island) board. Know it down to a Tee.

:lol:

I'd like to be able to mix and match and add middle pieces so it can be both a lobgboard and a shortboard

It is pricey, but they also do custom boards. If it was for a similar price, then I wouldn't mind!

Well, I don't expect any services from these vendors. Just like any other surfboards, if you break it. Then you're going to have to find someone to repair it. Will be hard to find someone to repair it though.
