Click to expand... A 124 lbs guy on an 11' board? Bourbon - sleep = snark. Click to expand... That always baffled me. I get the whole glider thing. I think I'd like one but holy chit. How much foam does one need. I can catch a wave, stop to eat a sandwich, then start a bottom turn on a 9'... With time to spare. Wasn't Jim saying something about people overcompensating with foam.... |

I just wasted a few minutes of my life on that video. Still of the mindset anything over 10' is not needed. Rode my 8'8 yesterday and was still in super early. Huge fade then bottom turn, then stall, with plenty of time to spare... in a fast beachbreak ... different strokes i guess |

Switched off with them to ride a new 10'6 Phil Edwards Glider and an 11' Hobie Blackbeard Glider. 3 1/2 hour session and all boards were dialed in.

It has a triple stick, but the side ones were thin. No tail block on it. The nose and tail were also different. You could nose ride the Blackbeard. The Phil has triple stick redwood, tail block, volan with big patch. It has a similar shape to the old Phil Edwards model but is thicker everywhere. Gorgeous board. Both were super fun and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Hope to get one of each... |

Have come across some snippets about Larry Mabile doing this style, can't find much info on his web site. Any other shapers you'd recommend for a BB glider whose web site I can view for some ideas? |

Click to expand... would welcome feedback from anyone who has ridden the respective shapes. Click to expand... Have Both Flavors. In my opinion the Mabile is a little more user friendly rail wise more of a 60/40 vice the egg rail,(Skip Frye style) I think Larry Mabile puts a little more "Hip" back by the tail that makes his boards come around quicker. The Mitsven is fast but you have to surf it with a little more finesse and let the board do the work. IMHO the better alternative is Michael Miller, a true craftsman, solid person and some of the finest work around these parts! His creations work very well. |

Every beach break differs but this is as i recall the origin of the shape.growing up in PB watching Skip surf i can tell you they work great for this if your name is Skip Frye. That said they are not an easy board to ride properly, and beach breaks with the typical crowds add to the challenge.Mitsven, Mabile, Miller,Hall and Christenson all know the drill and all make very worthy versions. I have ridden them all along with a few Andreini's. Pick a shaper you want to work with, if you are in southern CA Mitsven is my suggestion. I also suggest you go 10'6 as a starting point to get the full experience. |

I saw an original modern Skip Frye headed to RC for restoration a few years ago and it was most likely scanned or copied because RC skippers started showing up a few months later. Nice looking template. |

Looking for idea more then anything, been reading some shapers perspective, such as Josh Hall. My shaper, Art Coyler, has ordered in a 3 stringer for a 10' board. He used to shape next to Larry Mabile back in the day, know's his shapes well, and can ping Larry for some rocker dims. Like to understand what makes a board work before I order it, and this board will be very different from my usual mid lengths and lb's. |

Both have drawn out pintail templates. Also, very flat rocker with a little bit of kick in the nose. Neither pushes much water and they paddle like lightening. The Christension was narrower, maybe by an inch and a bit thinner, more like a "flying letter opener" if you know what I mean. Make sure to go for 11'. You get a little bit earlier takeoff by going for 11' vs. 10'6". It's worth it. Both are good in beach break, which is mostly what there is around here. They are particularly good on bigger days when you getting more of the wave through a much earlier takeoff -- makes beach breaks easier to handle. |

So entry belly, concave, panel V - the concave more of a channel concave with a subtle edge on each side of the concave which then broke/rolled to the rails. Andreini concave wider with more angle break to the rails, CC narrower with less break to the rails.Do those with Andreini gliders seem the same bottom installed? Or on the other gliders mentioned?As mentioned, like to dig into board dims and contours, helps me understand why what works does, and why what doesn't...doesn't. |

The board he scored from me and the board in Finshack's photo above - both are Larmo's double eagle models. I've attached another from Larmo's website: http://www.thirdworldexoticsurfboards.com/#!longboardsmidlengths/c1gsq I would also recommend Larry's Big Swallow and Magic models @ ten feet + length for max fun cruizin. A few weeks ago, I had the extreme pleasure of borrowing a good friend's 11ft Larmo Big Swallow w Fishsimmons fin set up. Caught a handful of the best waves anyone rode that session on this board. SDSurferguy should have been there! Still like the Andreini best of all. Attached files |

Look at that surf in the background of the photo I posted, last night. That morning we were surfing 1-2 ft point surf. Small and still fun down the line cruising, top to bottom, small cut backs and a couple of steps forward to regain momentum. The Larmo double eagle at 10'6", which Finshack bought from me, was my second favorite board of all time after that Andreini. The Double Eagle was undeniable in 1' surf. The shapes are very different but how much variation will prevent a 10+ foot long board from catching small waves? Currently, I'm riding a 10' Michael Miller egg which is the same template as his version of the eagle, only it has a fuller, rounder tail. I've had similar experience with the M.Miller egg that I have with Larmo eagle and Andreini long vaquero. Ridden them in surf from 1' to O.H. All are very good but the Andreini has always been better, especially in pumping energy. By the way, I have to give credit to Chris T and Big Steve for opening the door for me to the glider experience. Even though I grew up in P.B. and had owned Frye long boards 20 years ago, it wasn't until about 6-7 years ago that I really got hooked. Generally, I ride gliders 70% of the time now. The big break through for me was when I bought my first Larmo 10 ft Big Swallow twinzer. They are all good IMHO. It just depends on the rider. For what it's worth, Smukes' recommendation above is compelling because that Phillips model he refers to is exactly the custom I'm contemplating ordering from Jim. |

Click to expand... 1+ on all of this. The photos on this page have me drooling. All the names mentioned so far are great. I'm more partial to the Larmos because of price. Definitely go 10'+, I think 10'6-11' is ideal depending on your size/weight. And gliders work fantastic in small waves too, some of my most memorable waves have been barely knee high. |

Well overhead, lined up Torrey Pines breaking 100 yards off shore is one of them. It probably breaks like that a small handful of times a year in that pic. That's why I stated "generally" and "most". I didn't want to go down the road of "Can't" and "won't work". I'm certainly aware there are. I like a board to be a lot more sharp on the turn, loose and reactive in general beach break with the shifting, racey sections and peaks that beach breaks will provide. There are always "those days", but again I don't find true gliders as an optimal board choice for every day beach break use. If he's looking to stay large with a board for general beach break usage I'd go with other options. That's just me... |

True lots of foam to paddle but a board that can ride in most conditions in Southern Calif makes it that much more fun it always isn't optimum is true. The other alternative is to surf the crowded points with tons of people and get only a hand full of waves or surf a ass-kick'n beach break and hone your skills. Here's an 11' X 24" wide Larmo.

For the beach break what size surf are we talking, skill set of the rider, size of boards he/she is use to riding, what's already in the quiver, ect. All would play into the factor of a board I'd loan him to try out. The guy is looking for more curve in the outline and more rocker so he's looking for something more responsive off the turn. Understanding the above would help zero in more on a suggestion. |

Although beach break is a fairly new thing for me as I lean to Points, I have had a few conversations with Marc Andreini pertaining to surfing beach break, especially when preparing for my move to the land of beach breaks. Marc surfs quite a bit of beach break and you know what he is surfing. I would give him a call or shoot him an email and he will get you in the right direction. Good luck and enjoy the journey. |

Sometimes we get up to 7-8 and then only a few times at the size is it not a washing machine. I'm a average surfer but Iv never been the best in a paddle battle. I like getting in the wave early. I Usually ride a 10-0 Austin soulglide or a 10-0 SWT. I have a hard time making sections. Guy here has a RC skipper that's 11 and he kills it. I picked up a 10-6 of the same and I like the glide aspect. We swapped and his felt like it was just so smooth and flowing. He caught a few with my 10-6 and said he liked it but for a heavier guy the 11 was better suited. He has seen me out and gives me suggestions. I ask for your advice and others here. We have beach beaks. Sometimes it just jacks up and is a close out wall. Many days it is like a wall. Not much shoulder and if it is then it's a race to get there. I have the ability and vehicles to take a few boards so interested in knowing whT others think in these conditions. |
