Swallow tail version of the most copied board since, um, not too long ago, I guess. But it is amazing how many different people have made these in the last two years or so. These are the originals, hand-shaped epoxy by Joe Baugess for mucho float in a short length, distributed by The Swift Movement. Limited edition too for those so hipsterously inclined.
Imagine, if you will, that you are the captain of a sailing ship that has wandered into the Bonzmuda Triangle,you know just cruizin around lookin for some epic pits, Here ships and airplanes seem to disappear more often than the waves in north county, so you think to your self, "If only I had 5 fins, to navigate these shabby waters?"
If you wanna check one out you could use a telescope 'cause this things outta this world, or an easier option, just cruz on in to Mitch's surf shop in Solana Beach

The Neard is a rare beast, vicious and manly yet timid. It only comes out at night and does not cast a shadow, if you see the Neard proceed with caution 'cause they are known to bite, but not hard. Luckily we have capture this specimen on camera. If you care to see one up close, its still lurking around the shop, which is the Neards natural habitat.
Next you will need beer. I suggest a light colored beer. I think most bars use Bud Light or something equally as cheap and yellow. Now this choice is not Irish at all, but if you do yer research, neither is this Holiday in this darn country! We R USA, we do what we want! I almost went for Bud, but thought Stella would be equally appropriate, being yellow in color, and not from Ireland! Plus it's almost my birthday so I figured I deserved the better taste and quality. I know some of you would argue that point, but this is about surfing, so just hold yer horses.
Next up, you'll need some food coloring. I suggest green. Since this is the ultra modern world of technology, science, and fashion, they now offer different shades of green. Or maybe you are an aspiring artist, and would like to mix your own color, just like them fancy resin tints on dem dare surfin' boards. You know how they say these days, in total political correct-ness, "Just keep it green, bro." I got NEON green. It wasn't liquid, like that guy said. More like a paste, toothpaste? So mixing it into the beer was a bit of a hassle. I did not ruin a beer trying to stir it in. I accepted the challenge, and made a premix solution, therefore not harming any fresh bubbly beer. (thankyou) After you have made your premix (if needed) pour either before, with, or after the beer. I chose with the beer, so as not to further agitate the already unstoked beer, due to its origin changing it was about to face.
Here you get a glimpse of the green premix about to forever change the life of this not even Irish Brew. Oh the horror!
And here it is, the finished product! So beautiful on this day of Americanized Irish Holiday! Completely ready to be enjoyed by some confused soul who thinks he is actually part of something big! In this case, that would be me.
Oh the horror! A Belgian Beer disguised as Irish, shot against a Mexican Flag surfboard by an Englishman!
Such Glory in it's Green-ness!
Still looks good after it's used! Happy St. Pats!
