...this avo my favourite board, the Spleene Zone broke...
....and it's less then a week to my holiday....
...You who don't know the board: it's a160cm surboard shape board but made with snow board technology.....or simply a surboard that's thin like a twinnie, and light like a feather...nothing similar on the market, that I know of...
...it was a handful to learn to jybe, but at the end it gave both worlds: waves and old school jumps...
.
...I know it was not everyone's cup of coffee, so I am hoping someone in Perth owns it, but don't use it, and considers selling it.....

...if it is you, please PM me....

Cheers

Hi Andrash

How the hell did you manage to do that??!!

I know where one of these rare gems is gathering dust in Perth.
I will get the owner to contact you if he is interested in selling.

Cheers,

Always make sure your board is in the car before you reverse out.

Thanks guys. I contacted Ian, he has the newer and longer (174cm) version, that I will try out, but my choice would be the 160cm which is not produced any longer. For a longer dedicated wave board I have an RRD "Fatal wave" anyway.
This is not the first break of the Spleene Zone I heard of, and the other happened also at the tail. I wouldn't say I had any hard landing from jumps, and I am not more than 70kg anyway. I did not realize it was broken until I finished the session. I remember skipping at the end of the session, but I thought I was tired, loosing coordination.
However it was still the ideal board for me having great times on Perth's mushy shorebreaks.
I will see what'll be at kite stock.
See you all there.
