The first MarCh sup
Maiden voyage
MarCh www.marchsurfboards.com has completed the first surfboard "MW" - it was finished on a Monday and on Tuesday, while telemark skiing on Mt. Hood, I tore my ACL. On that Friday though, I was able to get the MW board in the water for a really fun session. We have three more stand ups in production - two custom orders and one to go into Moment Surf Shop in Pacific City, Oregon www.momentsurfco.com.
Although I only had one session on the MW, it's clear that our theories for stability and performance worked. By playing foil and outline off of thickness and width we are able to make a board that is very stable with relatively low volume and high performance feel. The MW dimensions are 8'4 x 30" x 4.25" with a fair amount foil in the nose and tail. I look forward to a few more sessions on the board before ACL surgery in a couple weeks.
I've been a telemark skier for 25 years and this is the first bad injury I've had. For those of you familiar with ACL repair surgery you know it is not easy, they will harvest some ligament from my hamstring and bolt it into my knee. Recovery time is 3-5 months but after that I will be 100%. I will be surfing as soon as I can and in the meantime I will be spending a lot of time at the MarCh shop making surfboards.
I admire this article for well-researched content and excellent wording. Thank you for providing such a unique information here. Kitesurfing Special Package in Dubai
