The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple years made me want to feel more high performance - more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining… less area in the tail, narrowing the tips of the swallow, creating more curve and narrowing the nose. All elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Seaside is quad only, why?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I decided that if i was going to make a quad I would make a quad that’s strictly a quad ...
