So it finally happened a new look and feel for the Six Ounce Site, and hopefully it was a stack quicker to load. There will be heaps to look at as i get a feel for uploading new posts. I will be keeping a current stock list and the ability to search through the site for boards by brand that your interested in. But the short of it is i’m fuckin psyched, its going to make speading the word, smell and feel of Six Ounce a joy.
There are a stack of new boards to put up and i’ll start with a couple of new Takayama rejigged Flo Eggs with the 5 fin option, as per, the tint and pigment work is un human, i ordered these ones with a tad more thickness through the chest, with that low tak rail it’s good to have a little more paddle power. Young Will Whitiker of Bondi via vico has been riding his pretty much full time and the word is that the quad set up is the way to go. The other two are a couple of Bings, the 6′2″ Lotus is a demo that feels bullshit under the arm, it will be waxed shortly. The green tinted motherfucker is a 6′2″ Bing Synchronizer with the bonzer 5 set up, there was a small ding that has been fixed on the nose and i’m in two minds either to wax and surf it or… but if someone out there is keen it will be going for a bit cheaper, and the fix is good.
For all those interested my trip to Hawaii was off the hook, if you surf then at some stage you need to make the pilgrimage to the mecca, its not hard to scratch below the tourist skin to get a real feel for the place. Paddling out in front of the Duke statue at 5:30 in the morning to surf Queens i was getting the old goosebump, there is a smell and feel for the place that i know will drag me back until i cant stand on a board (but by the look of some of the locals there is no age barrier to surfing the hallowed Waikiki streach). And when you do go make it a point to call by The Surf Garage or at the very least check out their site www.surfgarage.com, Toro and Dan are passionate individuals who run a great store that has me pining for my own space again, boys there are a couple of Six Ounce tee’s heading your way.
As always thanks for sticking by the site.
