Remix situation


Found this board at the beach.  6'9" overglassed, over stickered and over its usefull life.  Cut it up to make a new board and reuse the foam.  The foam sat for a while until one day an idea just seemed to present itself and the party stick was made... Click pic for the full board.


End result the 5'2" x 19" party stick.  Chined nose, twin fins, squash tail with some different bottom steps.  Kept the rails very boxy through the middle to help keep some volume.  Click pic for the full board.


The last two weeks I have been riding it every day and it is way more fun than I expected.  Very loose on backsides but still not to unstable.  Frontside you can feel the lack of rail length and small fins as it is hard to generate a lot of drive but makes up for it in super fast response.  Today was fun glassy shoulder high and it worked well.
