Feeling a need to treat me and not liking my current new surfboard, last Saturday I drove to Redondo beach and picked up a Donald Takayama In The Pink 9’6” yellow beauty. The surf shop, Just Longboards, also had used 9’4” for $425 less but again, I felt a need to treat myself.
The long drive was worth it, in that I got to see my old Orange County haunts: Redondo Beach, Belmont Shore, Seal Beach, and Huntington Beach.
Worth Every Penny! I have had Big Yellow several times in small (up to waist) waves. We haven’t agreed on some takeoffs but the turning in coming around. AND I got a few cross-steps last evening!
