Garrett McNamara rides the 13 foot 'Future Primitive' surfboard at Pipeline
Yesterday Garrett rode the big board at Pipeline in 4 to 5 foot ( Hawaiian ) waves, and got tubed on two waves, one on a left and one right hander at backdoor. He is very positive about the boards capabilities, and is now looking forward to riding 2nd and 3rd reef pipeline on her . Thanks Garrett !Photo seandavey.comUnfortunately the board lost the fin, which had been cracked at the base for several months, and repaired. We have been working full time to make a new fin ( with more robust glassing ) it is nearly ready and will be sent on the express courier two days from now. Bill Ward from Haleiwa has generously offered to arrange for the new fin to be installed, thanks Bill.Here's the new fin under construction today, it's identical to the original fin except that we are using stronger cloth and have improved the wood layup.
