Are you (6 fin bonzer) experienced?

Review of the Hendrix FreakFish came in from Florida over the weekend. Stoked that Merrick is getting on with it so well.

“hey Tim, 2 days on the Cosmic FreakFish with a fun lined up swell. Total Speed lines, cut backs and floaters. Really like this board a lot. It is drawing a lot of attention on the beach too. I was catching lots of waves and going for sonic speed. The waves weren’t the greatest but the board worked well and allowed me to go more top to bottom than normal, the board is SO fast.  I am loving this board; all I can say is, WOW !!!!!!!!!!!! Merrick. PS. We still have swell hitting tomorrow and I am on it, DAWN PATROL”

FreakFish FCS EVO6 bonzer review

The Mentawais FreakFish was set up with FCS bonzer fronts and a set of FreakFish FCS fit rears… and i am pleased to say the board flew and the FCS system handled all the torque with no problems at all. The board was incredibly fast down the line allowing sections to be made with ease, whilst still allowing for sudden changes of direction with full power being transferred through the rail. They say the proof is in the eating and the FreakFish certainly proved itself being ridden more than any other board. The conditions were small so sections were more frequent and the FreakFish allowed these to be made with ease. A really flexible design that has become the board i ride more than any other, whether it is beach breaks in the UK or reefs and points from Mexico to Indo.

Here’s what he had to say: “Hi guys a couple of pics of the FreakFish in action today. This was just before dark it was bigger in the morning and it was still handling the drops well. It didn't rise above 0 degrees all day, so it was cold sessions but only five out in the morning, two and then all alone in the afternoon. The board is going great, it is now my everyday board of choice. I was going to take the Cleanline in this morning, it was pumping, but it was at home and I was interested to see how Le Freak would go. Feel free to put the photos on your blogs but only as the "frozen north". Cheesy grin. Pete”.

Oh and whilst we are on the subject of Pete’s FreakFish there were some more pictures of it on that great online surf mag, Drift… an article all by Mark about his 2010 and what 2011 might hold for his beautiful wood boards.

6’4” FreakFish… finally finished and got wet last week. Absolutely flies. I’m finding that the FreakFish is best suited to surfers who surf off their rails; if you prefer to turn off the tail or the fins then you may find it a bit “squirrelly”… but if you like to bury the rail you'll freak over the insane combination of drive, speed, hold and unbelievable looseness… if there was ever a reason to start sinking some serious foam this is it!
This board has a 6 oz glass job, resin foam stain, hand made and foiled wood fins, pinlines and speed coat. As this is my board, if you want to try it drop me a line and you’ll be welcome…
