Santa Cruz Pumpkin Seed

That board is sick. Bet its got great versitility, works with a lot of conditions, can't go wrong? The thickness and fat nose is a nice combo. Did you order straight from Santa Cruz, how much did you drop?

 

How do you know how it performs if its been flat? Especially overhead, come on dummy.

 

What are the dims?

I have heard they are nice boards and that Santa Cruz makes pretty sweet tufflite models, I would consider getting one vs. a RNF or something along those lines just because it seems like it could take more of a beating and being a mid level beginner I can still be rough on a board, especially in mushy, shore break conditions. I am excited to hear more about the board once the East Coast gets some swell again.

 

santa cruz is such a good company, i have a 5'5" g-deck.... you get a free fitted board bag, and glass fins... i'd say they're probably the best company for epoxy boards.

 

yo i got one of those.. i love it. i dont think i ever want another board.. i just put a smaller trailer fin on but havent had any days to really try that out and see how well i could do some cuts with it though.. but i took it out during bertha and in may after that noreaster worked wonders especially for a begginner like me

 

oh yea and i got it for 375 at k coast used in great condition until me and my friend took the same way at eachother and colided.. put a large gash in my board but its all fixed now!

 

So you mean you tried one out, you didn't "demo" one, because if you actually KNEW how to surf well enought to get paid to demo product you'd know a rounded pin will perform nothing like a swallow tail.

KOOK.

 

you dont have to be paid to ' demo' a board.. you demo things before buying them its like that for everything.. dont hate because someone uses a word differently then you.. but i bet you feel real cool trying to start **** on the internet.. check a dictionary i bet it doesnt say anything bout being paid to 'demo' something

BENNY KOOK.

 

yea i had that board and if you look through the east coast mid alantic forums you will see the sales add i didnt like that board at all i mean just to long for it to be so thick and wide it just didnt turn or anything for me i got a 5'6" wrv twin retro fish and this board is sick

 

In all fairness he only said it was similar "width, concave and thickness wise", he didn't say anything about the tail.

 

What about "Demo Days" that lots of board brands have when they are new(ish) (FireWire, Aviso) or a brand doing new shapes? I don't think you have to be a pro to do that. I was in San Diego this spring in a shop getting a wetsuit, the owner and I were talking about FireWire and he told me he a bunch of boards I could "demo". Now I am far from a pro, more like advancing beginner so I guess more than one person calls test driving a board doing a demo.

I am a pretty big soccer guy and Nike and Adidas also have demo tents at major events around the country with all amateur players. It is set up much like the above mentioned "Demo Days" where every new product is there in every size and you and test run it in a game to see if you like it. They take feed back and also hope to gain a customer, much like surf reps that give a demo board to a shop so they can let people try it out. I

For whatever reason you feel the need to talk junk to people online and e-thug it. That is another form of being a kook, you are just using a different venue than the beach to do it.

 

Right on, he actually mentioned that because they were different he would see how it goes, this leads me to believe he would feel a different tail on an otherwise similar shape would lead to different performance.

 

So, are all you kooks dating one another and "demo-ing" each other or what?

 

you're a moron.

do you even surf???

at the shop i work at, we have an entire quiver of demo boards. everything from 5'4" lost RNFs to AVISOs, to 12' stand-up paddleboards..

all of them have DEMO sprayed on the bottom of them, and anyone is welcome to use them for a few days...

even your kook ass.
