My buddy Amos rides a J-Gordon Blade ( im pretty sure its the same shape) Its dirty for flat land tricks and he still kills it on waves with it. definitely impressed me considering its made out of wood

**mjs** · 06-17-2012, 07:12 PM

the switchblade is an oval

Yeah you're right it is a oval board. But now that I found the wood fish can ride switch (backwards) I sometimes put the switchblade logo on it just for fun. I guess I shouldn't it makes it confusing.

Just got this yesterday.

**lucasskim** · 07-01-2012, 01:33 PM

my favorite board broke today =(
that's the second board i broke pumping out to a wave. i had this thing for only 8 months, it was a fracking great 8 months though haha

EDIT: (i guess this picture isn't allowed to be seen) (the picture was just my recruit snapped in half)

looks like i'll be shreddin' my jgordon this summer

**ilovetoskim** · 07-01-2012, 02:41 PM

sucks but also that jgordon is sickkk

**ankle biter** · 07-01-2012, 03:55 PM

How do you break a board pumping!?

**Shawn Kenny** · 07-01-2012, 03:59 PM

hey guys there is no reason to post pictures of broken boards in this thread.

**mjs** · 07-01-2012, 04:00 PM

yes there is. you just don't agree with those reasons.

There is no reason to post a picture of a broken board on a forum, skimboards are not indestructible so no one should act like they should be. A more appropriate place to put a picture of a broken skimboard is in an email to the manufacturer, they will probably even give you a deal on a new one if you still want to represent that company.

who pays this guy, i think he wants a raise

Mmmm that J-Gordon... I'm kinda curious on how well/long the shape holds, how flexible the board is, and its overall durability in reference to rocks and other typical factors. I definitely want one but am debating between the wood board or the Velocity collaboration.

**lucasskim** · 07-02-2012, 01:09 PM

wtf? my broken board picture is gone. that's weird.
yeah manny i think either way you are gonna get a sick ass board. the velocity one looks fun as hell, and i love my jgordon it throws buckets and sits in the pocket like nothing i've ever ridden before. you live in florida tho so i think you should get the velocity version because wood and small waves don't mix too well. oh and on flexibility, this thing is really really flexible but in the best way possible. like you can torque a frontside out as hard as you can and the board springs back into the wave with more speed. oh and it's a solid piece of fracking wood, so i have a feeling it's gonna last a long time.

yeah i don't see the big deal. if it would've been an apex in the original picture, then everyone would be fine with it. but since it was an exile...

crazy kids with their SOMB logic

**mjs** · 07-02-2012, 07:38 PM

TBH you probably should have spread yours out instead of keeping it closed together

Thank you so much. That definitely confirmed my initial thought. I'm glad your enjoying it, the shape looks hella fun.

more of your tail is covered with the grippy traction instead of the unreliable grip from the wax closer to the rails. if you fracked your footing up, you could recover a lot easier(in my experience) than if it were closed
