Welcome to the Skim Online Message Boards.
Slotty is sick! Where can I get one of those FL skim stickers? or is that a stencil?
ahhh that baby blue looks good
one thing thats bothering me is the back pad is just a teeensy bit to far up. it feels weird when i hold the board. i guess im not just used to it. i bought Will Chan's old board and it was sooooooooo fracking perfect and amazing that i just HAD to buy another slotty when it snapped. my skimming got like 20 times better since i bought a slotty.
the sticker is from skimcity. i didn't want the same skimcity sticker everyone else had so i went with this one.
baby blue always looks like secks
to me it looks fine to me. seems like it would've been impossible to put it further back than it already is anyway
Sick Slotty! I love the wingfish i got made this year. They make great boards
on my old board, i could hold the kicker in my palm but on this board it like hits the very bottom of the hand. im sure it doesn't do shit. but feels weird.
slotties make pretty fracking awesome boards. this is the best board i've personally tried.
I agree, but I would have moved it apart a little in the front part. But yeah....it looks good to me too.Originally Posted by skimmybits

J-Gordon just showed up today... Thank you sir. This old man can't wait to try it out this weekend. Waiting on that old Vic, should be here next week. All are ready for a fresh coat of wax to be applied. Picked up the Carbon Fiber wave zone on a whim. Was selling on ebay as a new "second". Price was right, so figured what the heck. Worst case, I don't like it, and it will make some kid a good board. Has a steep curve to it and should probably do well in the chop we have up here in the north east. We'll see....
The tailpad on your Vic needs to be moved way back! You aren't going to have any control wrapping or riding with it that far up. You want to move it as far back as possible so you can take control of your whole board. It'll help tons.Current Family Photo:

Sadly, I realize that now. Waiting for the replacement pad so I can take that one off and put a new one on...
Try a hairdryer, (don't get the board too hot though) and pull the pad up real slow........then put it on wax paper if you don't have another board to put it on.

it's not the board, it's the rider
