Got me a new board.

Postby greg@hoodatsurfco » Thu Sep 06, 2007 11:34 pm

Well.. its a used but in PERFECT condition Al Merrick Flyer 6'6"

Will post up some pic's when I find my camera. But the thing is so nice and I only paid $350 for is US currency. Which I guess is about 173 British pounds.

I feel like I got a steal as the board has literally one smaller than a dime pressure ding on the bottom that is not even through the glass so no patch work is required.

I am excited to surf it.. once we get some better swells out here.. its still about 1-2ft. if it were 3-4ft i would be out right now.

Yeah considering those things retail for 600+, you definitely got a good deal. I just got a 6-2 MX myself. I was seriously considering the Flyer based on rave reviews for the smaller surf we typically get here in So Cal. I just couldn’t bring myself to it as I’m so accustomed to the narrower profile of the MX. Please let us know how it works out for you!

Haha, I can't believe I passed up a sale on Craigslist, where a guy was selling a Flyer II in very good condition for $100 with board bag.
