MY NEW BABY!!!!


In the early stages. Very interesting to see your board like this.. At least I think so.


I feel like a new mom and Valerie of Eat Surf Love and Mere' Made surfboards is the surrogate. She created it! CHECK out the blog below on the creation of my new love!. And for more amazing pictures! HOW many people not only get a new board. BUT have a blog reference also?

This is the first picture I received of my new board. I love my board...BUT how CUTE is Valerie's daughter in the back ground.. She is out staging the board!




This is currently the center fin I am thinking of getting. NOT just because the colors will match and it will look cool. But because it is a pro teck fin..and If you have been paying attention to any of my "recent" post.. I need a kinder gentler fin. =) Here are some stats in regards to the fin:
Pro Teck Fins are surfboard fins with soft leading and trailing edges designed to enhance board performance and reduce fin cuts. The flexible trailing edge allow the water to flow smoother with less turbulence off the fin. The flexible edge also creates a "rudder action" as the water pressure bends the edge, creating tighter and more fluid turns, similar to the fins of dolphins and sharks. The flexible urethane edge also greatly reduces fin cuts compared to conventional hard edge fins.

However this board is just so beautiful.. I am kind of afraid to ride it. HA! AND put wax on it for that matter. ;-).. Hopefully there will be pix of me riding this baby soon. Again. I went down a foot in size and it is new board. I hope I adjust to it and catch some of my best rides in the very near future!
