Hi,
Have been offered this board as a swap for a singlefin shortboard I don't really use anymore, the shape to me looks quite interesting, looks like fairly high rocker, def not a nose rider.
Before I do the deal any opinions would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Ben

All depends on what value your board is compared to the board photographed.

The board has a terrible nose shape but if the value between both boards is close why not swap and get into some longboarding.

Interesting background in those shots - where were they taken?

Bit of colour difference in nose in top photo, reshaped nose after damage? Should be easy to tell.

Cheers guys :-) will give it a go, would be nice to have a 9' board again, shots taken in Brighton uk at my mates workshop.
Will check the nose has been repaired well too if it has. Hopefully get up a bit of footage of surfing it too.
Thanks again

Your board looks fine . I had a 9 footer with a pointier nose. Bit unusual looking but the board was really good.

Agree SMH, looks alright.

Not a typically LB shape but looks to have a decent amount rocker and my guess by that nose is it was made or someone who likes to stand on the back and turn more so then nose ride.

Good luck with it, what single are you swapping for it?
