SWITCHING ADDICTIONS

Welcome! We’re really glad to have you. The rush is adrenaline, the afterglow is joy and satisfaction, and the expense is comparable to a decent coke habit. Keep your knees bent and buckle that chin strap. You’ve really rolled through it now!

Agreed. We’re all about tearing cuffs and ligaments and breaking bones. Not so much about rotting internal organs.

I could be wrong, I’m not an all seeing eye, but that has been my impression of it thus far.

Bioboards seems to have gone to a very customized freecher or similar motor now, but used to be MT. Streetwing used to be freecher, now maytech i see. Not sure how often LHB does motors, but those were maytech iirc. I don’t know anything that shows bkb is/was maytech, 99% sure they’re freecher.

We’ve blasted this off topic now tho. oops…

i may buy 40 to 60 in a year, been using maytech the entire time I’ve been building boards (6 years) and have with some frequency tested other motors, but still keep coming back to Jollin’s house.

@Plaidj thank you! I knew I couldnt be the only one cleaning up and finding myself chasing kick here!

@Darkie02 yes. yes I do, thank you. That was the idea.

@PixelatedPolyeurthan plz see above plz, I judge myself enough, I dont need ppl thinking I support esk8 terrorism

I would kill for a rip on that. Last year I had the chance to buy a ham boards 6’er. Can’t remember the model but it had the surf trucks and some big ole freewheels. Sadly funds would not allow and was it was sold before I could lament for too long.
But cooooooollll!

You definitely need to. It’s unlike any other. And I never got good at it. Lives in a surf town for half a year many years ago. Went surfing almost everyday, could ride a longboard ok, but I can count on one hand how many good waves I caught and rode on a fish, and those my friend, were the best lines I’ve ever ridden. I’ll never forget that feeling. Highly recommend you try at least once in your life. :slightly_smiling_face:

The first and only time i did it (almost 20 years ago) i ended up naked on top of a moving car. There’s never anything decent about it as far as I can tell. lol

I’m sorry :joy::joy:. Sometimes my literary skills leave much to be desired. I almost just want to leave it at that, because your imagination is waaayyyy better than real life. I meant a fish shaped surfboard


Like this.
There are many shapes to surfboards, some way bigger and easier to ride, and smaller more traditional shaped boards for agility. The fish is on the smaller side, but easier to ride IMO. I’m no expert, so anyone here who surfs regularly please feel free to correct me.
