ordered my new board!! check it out

Postby M1K3AA » Thu Jun 12, 2008 5:59 pm

I'm so excited, i have a 6'8'' fun shape board which just isnt cutting it after i tried out my gf's 8'0 board.

i ended up going for an 8'6'' epoxy board from islesurfboards.com and best of all the total for everything including a day bag and 8' leash was around 620 bucks!!

i used 75 dollars worth of visa gift cards and got it down to around $550 and now it is just a waiting game..

i picked this:

along with this:
http://www.islesurfboards.com/index.asp ... trCompare=

sorry i just had to tell some one.

after i get good on this board i want to come back to my shorty.. after all it was my first board and has sentimental value, i probably wont ever get rid of it..

come on shipping!! :D

I googled it and found this.

301 West 28th Street
Warehouse #C
National City, CA 91950

Not sure if National City is near San Diego or not but San Diego is where they are actually made.

the board rides great, and is made over seas.

but regardless this board is so much fun to ride. took a bit of getting used too but i have the hang of it now.
