New shred sled from Brownfish

A while back, Gary (Brownfish) shaped me a really fun keel fin fish

based off of his beloved Pavel Superbank...but blown up to my size.

I've really enjoyed that board and have had some memorable

waves on it all over the place. Gary is somewhat of a hobbyist shaper

as he has a full-time career, wife and kids, house...the whole bit.

He shapes a few boards for friends and aquaintances and has, in a

very short period, become pretty damn skilled at turning foam

into fun surfing vehicles.

At the last Sacred Craft Surf Expo, I had come across an 'HP Keel'

fish that really interested me. Gary saw a comment I posted

about that board on the erBB and had apparently been throwing

around the idea for something similar (a keel fish meant for steeper,

better waves...a bit more pulled in and with a touch more rocker).

He asked if I was interested in him shaping one for me, making

it very difficult to say no by his generous offer. This board is what

came of that offer. He came up the color idea from some boards

he saw somewhere and I told him to just do what he wanted with

it. Needless to say, I'm rediculously stoked on how it came out and

can't wait to get it in the water at the first chance. To top it off,

Gary insisted that I use the board with the beautiful Marlin Bacon

Fins101 bamboo keels pictured here. I look forward to seeing

what all the fuss is about these fins as well! This one came out at

6'2" x 20.5" x 2 5/8" with full volume through the middle and pretty

foiled out rails, tail, and nose. Shaped, glassed, painted, and polished

by Mr. Brownfish.

Thanks again Gary!
