Thanks Vanders, I find the ITP to be a fantastic board, paddles on well and handles the fast beach breaks really well (for a longboard), particularly the late take-offs . It is super responsive in the turns and never leaves me wanting more; in fact it probably has a lot more in it than I can handle anyway. As for nose riding I can't really say as I only take it out when it's over 4 foot or so, and the beach break I surf would smash me if I attempted a true nose ride (not a cheater) over that size, that being said when I do get up front it feels steady and a very tempting option, just like all takayamas!
I have surfed a couple of epoxy models of the same board and found them to be a totally different beast; I didn't enjoy those sessions at all. Regards CC

Great quiver, CrispCritter. I see now why you appreciate a good board bag so much! Nice to see someone on here who maintains their lawn and edging to such a high standard too.

Ah – of course, I should have read Crispy II's post a bit more closely. I've seen some of Sup Animal's vids over in the 666 room. He loves a dawn patrol and a road trip ... and apparently he maintains a fine yard.
Anyway - beautiful boards. The Critter has sure hit the ground running with some quality posts.

Ah, those were the days....a lot's changed since then.
But I'm still here.
The Tyler and South Coast Signature were things of beauty though.

I always liked this shot of the thing of beauty...
