Decided I needed another Mid-Length for bigger days when you need that down the line speed. Was looking for a mid-length glider as I like to surf with the wave rather than bashing the lip and I really don't like having to pump a board to generate speed. So I started looking at Hulls and modified hulls but was sorta nervous as i'm an average level surfer and I think a Hull is pretty tricky to ride and ride well.

These days i'm mostly on the log and occasionally the SubX, I've had the SubX out in some fast overhead days lately and it goes amazing but its just not what the board was designed for.... "insert fridge door jibe from Chrispy"

Anyway so I started looking at a bunch of options and narrowed it down to the Ryan Lovelace V-Bowls, Adreini Vaquero and either the Christenson C-Bucket or Flat Tracker. It then happened that SP was in the process of ordering a C-Bucket as Chris (Christenson) was in Australia so I thought i'd take advantage and get one ordered while I had the chance.

Start reading about Christenson and the guys super highly rated and a real innovator when it comes to board design. His boards are all hand shaped, well thought out, complex, beautifully crafted and go like the clappers.

For the record, I've also ordered a Ryan Lovelace which is 2-3 months away. That guys doing AMAZING things in mid-length board progression but that's the another thread...

And so, she finally arrived... and she's bloody beautiful!!!
