Mysterious Nimble stick
I was trying to find a cool synonym for this little board, which I haven’t mastered yet, but so far I concluded that less I move the faster I go, so nimble stick seem to be perfect.Someone, once told me that sometimes you only could dial in a surfboard when it’s all worn out, dedication is the key, I have so much to learn about fish, I will give time to time.
At the first look this might look like a classic twin keel, however it is one of the most contemporaneous versions. The only thing I asked for was a fast board that can handle juicy waves, that was all. Chris Christenson said “to go fast go with a twin keel”… and he did is magic.
I can do my own interpretations when I read the contour lines, the truth is I don’t know much about the thoughts behind it, it is a 5'8''x21''x2 3/8’’ shaped by Chris Christenson when went to Portugal and glassed by the British glasser Phill Northey.
It was a wedding present from my brother Alexandro. Thanks for all of those involved in this.

My guess is that you're trying to drive the board here you want and how you what, but that's not the way to get the lady working, let her do the driving and find out the spots on the wave that she likes, then you can start pushing her ;) I loved it when I rode her here!
I havent tried my 5'6"... I guess it might be this weekend :D
My chirstenson fish is akin to snowboarding perfect powder. I got perfect 8 foot salt creek one day this year on a 5,8" keel sanded finish. EPIC full on perfect feel
Learn to finesse it and you will find true joy. I mainly ride my quad fishy's, but I've probably gotten better, more enjoyable waves on my Keel. I think it's all about learning to harness the speed by drawing clean lines and bleeding the least amount of speed off as possible.
man that's a sweet lookin' ride, sincerly
