On my
next trip to Croyde I will make a better attempt to get an 'action shot' of
the new board...
For the
record, and bare in mind that I'm pretty much a novice, the board worked
just great. Up on it on the first attempt, was
still able to ride the smallish surf that Croyde produced last weekend,
while all those around me stuck with their Mals and longboards. Felt that
I'd 'almost' joined the secret club - those who have pointy boards and nod
knowingly at one another... I even spied another FluidJuice creation and struck up a nice conversation with it's very happy owner.
So once
again, thanks for the time that you put into ensuring that I would get the
right kind of board for my abilities (or rather lack of). It is just the
right balance of challenging vs enjoyable. It is as stable as the big 8ft plus learner boards
from the surf school, yet turns beautifully. It is now sat in Croyde (at a
top secret location) awaiting my return next month for the second installment of my surf epic 2008.
As for
the graphics, top marks to Simon who did a great job. Someone even
approached me in the pub one evening to ask about the board, so it must
stand out from the Croyde Crowds. And of course the target on it gives
the lifeguards something to 'aim' for.
Cheers,
Ian Gilmour

Hi Adrian,
Thaks again for the new board, I've taken it out a few
times now
and have to say regardless of the conditions it just
glides
accross the waves, even
when its lumpy out there it just seems to
iron out the bumps. Keeping
the magic carpet to 7 foot has given
me the best of both, manouverable yet it picks up waves like its
a long board. Attached is
photo of me using this at st'andrews.
Say hello to Burt and thanks again for eveything.
Cheers Kevin
Hi Adrian,
Ezra here... Been meaning to give you some
feedback. Loving the board - looking forward to ordering the next one
already! Have attached a pic - North devon on a good day.
All the best

Sent: 16 April Hi Adrian, What I
didn't tell you is what happened to the board when the snow fell. These
are all gap years from the school I work at - they're from NZ,
I'm taking the picture. So I guess I'm sending you a photo of your board in unexpected conditions. It was hard to turn by the way, but managed a 10 metre drop down the slope. The board is fine by the way! Regards,

Hi Adrian
Just a note to say many thanks for doing everything
you said you would,
shaping, spraying and
sending the board on time!
Although still in my early stages of surfing I'm
picking up waves and this
board has brought me on ten
fold.
Hopefully one day i'll get
ten toes over the nose lol! Have attached a pic

Sent: 15 April Hi adrian, its connor, yeh i have been away, had 4 weeks in
The board went amazing, the rail changes in my cutbacks was alot better than my old board. The board got barreled alot aswell, rides well in the barrel. ive put the new plastic kelly slater fins in it and its really loose but also it holds in turns if you want it to, the board and fins make a magic combo. Best board ive ever ridden, thank you sooo much. Hope to hear back from you and i might be in contact soonish to buy another board! Thanks
again!!!!!!!

Hi Adrian - it was good to see you on saturday... I have to say i'm really, really pleased
with the new board. I was a little bit underwhelmed by it when i picked it
up as it just looked so simple... I didn't take it out at Mawgan Porth
after i left you as it was really lacklustre (i actually ended up going in
for an hour on the fish and actually had a couple of really nice rides on
it!!)
So, i waxed it up on saturday evening and once i'd had a chance to have a
proper look at the resin tint and the glasswork i started to realise what a
corker it is (big thanks to burt as its really
stunning, the tint is really vivid but subtle as well which is great and
the glassing is absolutely flawless) i went upto polzeath to check out the jesus classic on the sunday had a few waves on my
longboard before it started getting a bit choppy as the wind kept changing
direction - so i got the new one out and was just gobsmacked by how it
feels in the water... It paddles better than my old magic carpet, is
duckdiveable and - and this has never happened to me before - it
picked up the first wave i went for with ease and i couldn't believe how
quick and lively it was... it really flies down the line but you can
cutback on it so easily.... Really really chuffed
- i was actually laughing out loud... the waves went to cack pretty soon
after but i was still picking up the mush and taking off with ease... Its really buoyant but still h as that bite that gives
it a real feeling of drive. The forecast is pretty good here for the rest
of the week so i hope it'll get plenty of use... I have to say its the most
stoked i've ever been about a board after its
first session as it usually takes me ages to even begin to get it
dialled... a bloke stopped me when i was getting out the water to ask
who'd made it as he thought it was a 'beauty' he commented that i'd never ride anything else now, I have to say i think
he's right.
So.. Many many thanks!! Many many thanks for all this
Best wishes - Dom

Hi Adrian,
Sent: 03 March To: adrian@fluidjuice.co.uk Subject: Ciaran's Red 9' 4" Hi Adrian, Just thought I would drop you a quick note to say thanks and let you know how the new board was going. I drove all the way up to N.Devon and scored perfect shoulder high Saunton for its first outing and it went really well. I always find I need about three or four surfs in different conditions to really make up my mind up and get really dialed into a board. Having surfed it few more times it wasn't until a tiny day at Watergate (knee- waisthigh) that it really came alive. I was out with Chris Thompson, and he was commenting ( with amazement ) on the way the fin was completely hanging out of the back of the wave when I was up on the nose with the entire deck of the board and inside rail locked in to the wave, allowing me to stand with little effort getting ten right in the pocket, it felt like the most positive and controlled noseriding I have done in the 16 years I've been riding a mal. Awesome board, this ones a keeper for sure. Thanks again
Ciaran

Comment: hi aidrian!
just wanted to thank you for
the 6 4 swallow tail flyer you shapped for me.
ive been on the sunshine
and gold coast and the board was sick, worked
amazing in the more powerful gold coast waves and
even rode well at noosa on
smaller days, managed to get
waves in amoungst the log boarders!! its sick!!
unfortunately my friend decided to run over it with
his fins in bigger surf
and the rail and deck got
pretty smashed up, absolutely gutted. i had it
fixed and they did a good job but was soul destroying
as id only been on the
board 5 times!!! ah well. still surfs sick!!!
was gonna enquire about the
retro fishes you shape, i had a go on a twin fin out
here in the smaller
surf and fell in love!! ill
be back in the
chat again!!
cheers henry

thanks so much
