Re: Roberts Diamond fish or Griffen Mod fish. [Re: cturtle]
      #2284976 - 04/11/12 07:33 PM

found my diamond fish to work well in anything from 1ft-6ft. i have had fun on it on the most gutless days. to have a good fish like that on the east coast is huge. ridden it as a twin + trailer, twin and a bit as a quad and all work great. prefering the strait twin actually but giving a quad set a serious try right now. gets across flat sections with ease and making sections and putting little turns in where you normally wouldnt. board is all fun

I've heard a lot of good things about Roberts, but haven't ridden one. I can tell you that the Modfish works well, has a lot of range, and you won't be disappointed.

Definitely .

Yesterday I went to Eric Arakawa's to pick up boards.
They were having a meeting and Eric said a big hello.
As i walked back out he introduced me to a person named John.
We shook hands. At that time they were all saying I was the originator of the 5 fin and we all made many jokes.
I took care of the rest of my business and decided to go back and ask John who he was.
Eric answered for him saying he is the CEO of FCS.
At that time Eric did a speech on who I was shaping and fin making wise that completely floored John as well as myself.
Lots and Lots of fun talk after that.

It was a good day and many more are coming.

DF is for 1-6ft and modfish for me is more for say 2.5-7.5ft. They feel different and I like both a lot. Modfish feels fast and glidey and DF is easy to surf and turns well. Tough choice.

Yup. The one with the fake volcano that disguises his missile silo. He hangs out there with Average Joe, (who looks just like him only is much smaller) and strokes his pussy all day. I'm pretty sure Griffin has the same setup.

That should be enough to keep those cards and letters coming in. A day without a death threat is like a day without sunshine...
