Skip Frye

The San Diego sojourn was made in order to collect this, Andrew Kidman's new Frye fish. Absolutely stunning, and with one of the finest glass jobs I've ever seen- the board (in the colours of the Essendon Bombers) is polished to a mirror-like finish. Crazy pinched rails and just feels nice under the arms. In his local waves, Kidman's going to kill it on this thing. None of us may be able to get our hands on a brand new Frye, but in keeping with the half arsed Xmas gift theme I've been working, you can now get a copy of Litmus again should you not have one.
It of course has the fantastic footage of Derek Hynd on his fish at J-Bay, definitely a contributing factor to the revival of the whole twin fin deal, and the rest of the movie is not too shabby either. It really has become a classic now, and deservedly so. $20 including shipping, email info @ foamandfunction.com to buy or inquire.

...yes, looks very nice.
That outline is more intended to provide projection and not too much short action turns, at least in these photos.
Other thing that really enhance the performance is split the keels and turn "2 in 4" fins a la R Pavel. Or in other case go the quad way; you know, keels is like put a D fin in a longboard. Sometimes aesthetics go first than functionality...

Wow.......But perhaps the most famous longboard design is The Malibu. Named after the popular Malibu beach, this board boasts a racy design that tends to be a bit on the narrow side. This design offers excellent manoeuvrability and speed. Perfect for hanging ten, the Malibu is the favourite board of experts and beginners alike.

For anybody who is contemporary that will longboarding, and / or any person buying a terrific smooth sailing longboard, than the American platinum eagle Region Boozal are usually an individual it's best to keep in mind
