The "Eugene" is my version of the 6'9" fish that Skip Frye gave me the day before I hurt my knee. I guess you can say this is what started it all for me. Since I was so upset that I could not ride this board Skip told me that God allowed me to hurt my knee for a reason. Thats when he told me to shape a board and once again Skip was right. Thanks to Skips love for the 6'9" fish that he passed on to me I will never be without one in my quiver. This board will surprise you with how fast it is.
