2008 Mair Surfboards 10' 3" x 12 1/8" x 22 1/8" x 12 3/8" x 3 3/8" "The Streamliner"

top work so pleasing to see

Aloha huie: Mahalo for the review, but only one star! Looks like I need to do better. -Robin

In the pics it looks like a 4 to a 4.5 in person I bet its a 5.0 . I'm sure to be able to ride big hanalei bay that would be icing on the cake . beautiful stringer and board james

...excellent, smooth and clean outline -seems that the surfer needs to have strong legs to bottom turn that bulk -do you glass the boards too? thanks

Aloha reverb: Mahalo for the kind words! Actually these boards are remarkably easy to turn. They take more finesse than power to turn, not that power can't turn them. The combination of the rocker, rail and bottom shape help make them easy to maneuver. I don't glass them myself, I have a good friend, Dave Implom, that glasses these boards for me as he has done for years. My glassing days are behind me now, so I focus on the shaping. Although I plan on doing some compsand boards in the near future! - Robin

Jeez, that is so god-damm sweet. We get solid south swells in Winter that break with a lot of current on the Points here. I've started paddling out at one end of the Coast and working with the current surfing my way up the coast through three or four separate pointbreaks. I call it "cross-country" surfing. Waves are in the 6-10 foot range mostly, raw and uncrowede because of the current. The "streamliner" would be a perfect cross-country board. Got any trips to Aus. planned? Steve

Mahalo, Steve! Actually I very much want to take a trip to Australia and have been thinking about doing it for some time now, I'll let you know when it happens, definitely sometime this year. Cross-country surfing, I really like the sound of that, and you are right I think this would make an ideal board for doing something like that as you would easily be able to deal with the paddling and the waves in that size range! -Robin

I love it when I se another shaper's gift for scaling a board correctly. This puppy would love a romp at big Razorblades or Mondo days out in the Channel Islands. I don't know if Rincon could get big enough to really challenge it but it would be fun to warm it up there. Did you think abut glass on fins? Or are you solid with the removable option? I guess it's the purist in me that as to ask. Aude Sapere.

Aloha DeadShaper: Mahalo for your comments. Actually, I did not think about glass-on fins, as I knew this board might be taking a trip, and so having the fins removable made sense for that reason. Most of my customers like to experiment with fins so I like to give them that option. With the big ones that are single fins, they are always glass-ons. But I do agree from a purist point of view they look great with glass-ons, but I hate to give up the option to experiment with fins. Maybe just because I love designing them! -Robin

that is a dang nice board more
