  1. Introducing my new Thirst FX 172! Couldn't be more excited to ride Mark Millers latest genius. This is my hard charging, narrow run, crowded mountain, crud busting, pow and groomer slayer... 

    Specs to follow... and a review after this weekend.  I have ridden the 8R W.A.R.P. and the BX, both unequal to any other... and the best part - no metal.

  2. Hey no sweat brother. I've done that before. I was hoping to get your address before our post closed here as I don't think they will be shipping out until Tuesday because of Presidents' Day. But I'm going to drop it off at the pack'n'ship tomorrow. They will make sure it goes out first chance. I'm  anxious for you to get it and rip it up.  

    I didnt take the pictures but that's the beach my wife and I lived near in San Diego almost a decade ago. If you want to surf go to Encinitas Cali. Nothing like the surf culture there.  

    Aaron Chang was the photog.  We have many of his pieces. Check him out!

    Ill keep you posted on your board.

     

     

  3. Yes I still have it and better yet, it just received a fresh edge, base, wax and tune. Was going to update with. New pics. 

    These are indeed the exact specs of this 179. Thanks for posting that! 

  4. HA! Well, Im sorry to disappoint you but it is indeed a 179. I am 6'6" and haven’t been on a 169 since I was in softboots as a teenager. The Thirst is a 173 and my Coiler is a 180. The angle of the photo is distorting. Maybe a 179 is for you though? Longer is better in pow.
