A 12'0" GP Surfboards out of Capitola (near Santa Cruz), it's another surprisingly turnable beast and because of a lighter blank (and like the Terry, 8oz volan sked) it's super sensitive and responsive. It was a personal board for Nick (P of GP) Palandrani that he told me surfed in mammoth waves either at or near Ghost Tree. It moved from there to being hung in a SC restaurant for years; then somehow Miles ended up with it and I eventually got my hands upon it. Also pretty foiled with a very slight downrail in the tail. Though it has concave in the nose, I'll admit I haven't gotten my little piggies hanging yet but Nick recommended a serious D fin or larger rudder if I wanted that action. Stoked with the glide. Ridden both the Terry and the GP in overhead waves with no problem and they performed admirably. PS: The Pearson on the left was a great board but traded it to get back an old fave. |
