Anybody have or try one out? What did you like and what didn't you like about it?
Yeah, I have the 5'10". It's a little on the small side for my petite frame(240#). It's also a better board than I am surfer. Don't know where you're located, but you are welcome to try it out in the bay area, or buy mine. I'll hook it up!!!
Yeah...I can't decide if the 5'10" is better for me or just go for the 5'5". Im 5'11" and 150. I am leaning more towards the 5'5".
Yeah, I think the 5'5" is more in your range, depending on how your paddling is. Then again, for $250 you could have a 5'10"...
What didn't you like about the board? Hard to control,initiate turns, speed...etc?Quote:

I'm sure this could be solved if I was better at paddling and could generate speed more efficiently. The SC website has weight ranges for the boards, and I ignored this with the G-Deck. I was hoping because I made the Pumpkin Seed work, this would work. Not the case.
Dude, if you still have that 5'10 I want it, I live up in Santa Cruz and will drive over to get it for $250 right away! Let me know as fast as you can! You can reach me at either 510-501-9477 or predx32@hotmail.com!Quote:

I am looking at picking up a gdeck but there is no information available.
what does it ride like? is the deck awkward? any information would be helpful.
also what size pumpkin seed did you ride?
do you still have that g deck?
Board is still available.
Pumpkin Seed size is 6'8". The deck on the g-d is a little short, but the board is 5'10", and I'm used to longer. Just need a little more push on the paddle for smaller waves.
do you have any pictures of the board? you can e-mail them to me at antgarcia6@sbcglobal.net
G deck Sold. let me know when and where man i will take it off your hands!
hey if u can get that kilz primer off of that board i will pay 300 or 350 for your trouble. i dont want the paint chipping and stuff makng the board all grody. let me know bra
We seem to be having a little problem with communication, here. I will not, ever, attempt to remove the Kilz from this board. It doesn't come off with any kind of thinner, and that leaves scraping. The board is not "grody", as you saw from the multiple pictures I sent you. There is no chipping, as this stuff simply does not come off. You can offer me $1,000, but I'm not going to try to remove it. I don't know you, nor do I have any assurance that you would buy the board if I did scrape the paint off. The board was offered for $250, because I wanted to move it. You're wasting my time.
hey cool dude fuck you
hey i mean im way into this board and i would almost garuntee you that id buy it frm u because this board is gunna be the first on my quiver so if u want to stop making an assclown of urself on the forum then talk business and i can get it from u for whatever if u can do the paint stuff or i will buy it from u with the primer and stuff i just dont know much about this primer.
Did you just say grody?Quote:

Go screw yourself. Also, if you're trying to make this board the first in your quiver, you are a pathetic moron.
na bro whats pathetic is a 240 pound guy trying to surf this board in the bay area talk to me when u get out of that shit hole and come down here and surf, because these breaks are way too good for a monster trying to surf a board who's more than 50 pounds out of the weight range. LATE
I've recently cut down. Don't know where you are, but you obviously don't know shit about waves. Again, you are trying to buy your first board for your quiver with a 5'10 groveler. Have a great life, but leave supermodel alone.
Please define "down here."Quote:

the problems started when the attitude went on the loose.Quote:
