This one is made in Vancouver. Some of his boards are mad in China. A mate had an old Option Rob Dow board way back. The samurai graphic is really cool!

First came Tribute review with couple turns on their video, then Bomb Hole visit to Mothership… Also looking at those aggressive contact points, which suppose to be good for freecarving, but uncommon, so it was not possible to resist anymore, I am only human after all. :)
Would you mind to take a camber pic?
Especially the tail area, when the camber transition in to rocker :geek:

I would like to know how much rocker there is in the tail, where the rocker starts.
The Mercury definitely has too much rocker in the tail, it starts too early after the back insert packs, for my likings.

thanks!

Shewt. This is a strong contender for an optimistic replacement. Don't need it yet. But that's never really stopped me before.

Nice!

I think the last sentence in your post answers the first.

You're right, it makes it fun!

Side note, I had a funny convo with my girlfriend this morning trying to convince her the Taka and Sickstick are different boards and I "need" both.
