Marc and I swap boards now and again I just got this 3 stringer beauty .
Really hard to get a 11 or 12 ft board to have a nice curve and tryin not to make it to wide, Marc did a nice job on this one.
As I am getting older I really like the glide of the longer Vaqueros, they still have that Hull ride .
Marc and I used to surf a lot with Alan Hamilton in the early 7o's and he was a big influence on this board , Alan was the smoothest , most stylistic surfer around , Yater made some boards that Marc and I worked on like this one for him .
My Amigo , John Mellor snapped this and framed it for me ( thanks John ! )
that camo one with the 2 nickels epoxied/ glued to it is light! i was ultra stoked to spend the day with marc yesterday. stoked to see him surf it.
