Any input on the NEW Laird 10'6 Surfer?
« on: July 22, 2014, 08:56:46 AM »
Going to sell my 2014 9'5 Mana, because my Prowave covers all those bases plus more..... so I will be replacing it with a longboard surfer/cruiser......

Any input is appreciated... seen it? Is it really different from the previous 10'6 ?

The liters have been reduced according to website.... it looks SUPER thin

do you know robbie pearson -- aka gator -- down here in matunuck?  he just got the 9-6 version (around that size) and loves it.  i've seen him do countless cheater fives on it; then again, he was probably the best longboarder in the area back in the day, so no wonder.  but still, you might want to search him out.  he's not on the forum  but i could probably track him down if you want.  let me know.  he had the board shipped here from CA.  took about a week and a half.  not bad.  personally, i think you should get one of these, just so you can give me some lessons on you-know-whating.

 ;D

whating is fun.

He must be small because the 9'6 is only 125 liters.... about what my 8'11 RAW is..... the Lairds are paper thin

no, he's not small.  and he's our age too.  a very good sense of balance and a ton of skill go a long way (or so i hear).  then again, could be there's some special mojo built into the board, right?
