I popped over to Saturdays in Soho to check out the new shipment of McCallum boards. I was not disappointed and it was well worth the trip on this soggy day. I am really taken with the stand up spoon. Holly Crap does it look like a great go to board for spring/summer. There is a ton of volume in the middle for paddling then tappers down to a nice modern thin rail for ripping waves with more bite. If I had the cash I would have picked it up on the spot. Judging on looks and feeling alone my gut says this is a 67th St. ripper.

I have a "stand up spoon." It is awesome! It is not as volumous as you'd expect because of the scooped out deck. I weigh 200lbs and my 5'6 is about right.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the intel Joutneyman! Now I'm all the more motivated to get on one.
