Insane Barrels at the Local Spot Riding a 90's Short board vs. My Timmy. Which one went better?

Episode 29 SHRALP STORIES. the local Beach break was going off and we got some sick barrels. It's cool to think about Chris Ward, Matt Archbold, and Taj burrow riding these blades of a short board back in the day. So I thought it'd be cool to break one out and give it a go. In this video we review the footage and look at the comparisons between a 90s shortboard versus my modern day Timmy Patterson. Enjoy the #surfing

Quasi nostalgic for me board episode Kolton! Grew up surfing late 70's/80's. Boards had some girth until Kelly surfaced with CI. That era your boards hooked into the waves with control and drive achieved with "Lays spud" rails and volume. Keep up the informative content, and "stoked" you continue to share... You're a 'natural.'

Great video. I see the Mayhem model tested is an SD 3, I had the original Speed Demon back in the day. One of my favorites.

[@seancallahan1312]

Dude, never saw this channel. Killer breakdowns. Cool that you shout out to the local kids coming up. Liked and subscribed. Gonna watch some of the older ones now.

🤘🤙🙏

[@williamhanley7031]

People are riding to small of boarsds these days. I'm glad you made this . Iaugh at dudes thinking they can do a turn at high speed on a 8 foot wave on a 5'4. Potter never had a problem turning a 6'4

[@devswell6538]

They also don’t need to be as big as they were im the 80s/90s. Average build dude should ride there height give or take. Boards were also rockered to shit in the 90s so the surface actually touching the water was way smaller

[@hughlawson5399]

90's boards have been making a comeback over the last few years.

[@dayneolsen8066]

Ding repairman must be smiling.

[@Lakesurfer618]

Stoked on the vid! Would you consider doing a tech tips vid on bottom turns?

[@used_surf]

Yeah I think we're going to mix it up and go to a more open face for the next episodes. So yeah there's a good chance we're going to cover that in near future

[@gofiodetrigo8756]

Nice music. Thanks for sharing

[@used_surf]

👍🤙🙏

[@addera6306]

90’s forever!

[@wellfleation1]

Nice knowledgable and easy to grasp explanations. I still have my 1993 Lost 6'4" thruster that's almost mint. I'm 54 and haven't surfed since then, 94, but was hardcore up till then, then life happened. I think I will try to sell to my local surf shop next summer. I wonder what I can get? I know 10 years ago a surf shop said it was old and offered me crap.

[@WarriorSC858]

It s now a collector board

[@devswell6538]

Go surfing

[@samucerezo9388]

i just get a 90s Rusty injector model (narrow board) 6,3 normal i used 5' 8"s and im in love with that board, super fun and a lot of drive i use a 2 plus trail fin super fast 🤙

[@used_surf]

That's sick!!!🤙🤘

[@framed166]

Glass in fins? I haven't had a board with glass in's since I was a little kid lol but I loved every board that had them!!

[@used_surf]

Yeah I remember back in the day Mick Fanning swearing by glass ons...there is definitely some good things about them....but in general a thing of the past.🪦

[@nicozx191]

I reckon they're too much of a hassle to still make them (which equals less profits), it just wouldn't make sense with today's surfing industry

[@sdsurfs]

Hey love the content! What model and dims is the Timmy you're riding? I've been looking for a nice short swallowtail thruster, thanks

[@used_surf]

I'm riding an A-6 model by timmy Patterson a lot of the time

[@koltonsullivan8530]

My dimensions are 5’7 by 19 1/4 and 2 1/4

[@eatsurfsleeprepeat5485]

FWIW Tom Curren didnt ride ultra concave boards, he hates concave and prefers flat and if anything rode v bottoms

[@used_surf]

Yeah exactly ..hence the red and black beauty...good observation

[@williamhanley7031]

About time someone's telling the kooks out there whats up

[@dayneolsen8066]

Ding ding= ching ching in repairer eyes

[@springfieldbearpatrol2937]

80s boards thicker and wider, less rocker but less refined than today’s boards. 90s and early 00s boards were thinner/narrower and more drawn out more (More rail line) but more rocker so less rail in the water when turning. I think today’s boards are better but man go back watch footage from back in the day and guys were killing it. AI in momentum on like a 6’0” or 6’1” just ripping.

[@chrishealton3830]

I’m getting myself a 90s style board shaped pretty soon. I had one of my dad’s that I broke a few years ago and I thought it was sick. It’s trendy now to hate on HP boards from that era, just like it was trendy back then for 200 pound guys to be riding them. Or trying to, at least. I also don’t think the current HP models are doing the tour guys proper justice. They look too short and stubby. Kelly, especially, has gone too far with it.

[@used_surf]

Yep I agree...more rail...more carve. You watch old vids and that becomes evident.

[@joshhoffman2628]

Liam is ripping

[@used_surf]

Right...he was!!!

[@maxjosephson1247]

That mayhem is probably a mid 00s board

[@used_surf]

Yeah....exactly

[@SterlingSigurdsen]

The Lost was too big for you. On that first turn you show, you can see it’s trying to skip out from you as it’s too big for you. That same board about 2” shorter would work really well for you. Sick video though.

[@used_surf]

Thanks for the observation. That wave was kinda weird at the end. I like a longer rail line sometimes ..draws out the turns so it feels like a "carve". Thanks for watching the vid and the comment!🤙🤘🙏
