New addition to the collection

I got to party with a friend of mine from way back last week while at the lake on vacation. I had not seen him in years. Anyway he bought this board years ago from a local boardshop. Since he no longer uses it, I bought it from him Very Happy

I did not ride it yet, but I plan to soon. My memory is not what it used to be and I don't remember what model this is, but I think its a steadfast. If any one has any info on it I be glad to learn more about it.

It's an endurance and really is one of the nicest shapes I have ever rode! I love it and still ride mine with pride and joy Very Happy

It's actually also really durable on rails and stuff!!!

Congrats on a piece of wakeskate history Wink

nice russian! When I saw the title of your thread I was getting hyped and wondering, "what did he find??" Very Happy

Sparrow.2 is right, it is an endurance. The steadfast boards were all wood (with foam stringers, but you couldn't see those).

I guess just to warn you, I have one and it's like the foam weakend over time, and I can dig my fingernail through it (maybe it was from excessive sun exposure, I'm not sure, but I bought mine used from a board shop a few years ago). Also, a couple of friends of mine ended up eventually snapping theirs. So...if you really love that board as something you want to keep to "remember the days," I'd ride it with care and maybe just shred the integritys you have. Otherwise, shred it to pieces!

Anyway, two last things for you: A friend generously gave me a mutiny catalog a year ago when I bought that perseverance (I almost threw the catalog out because I didn't see it Shocked

), so eventually I'll have a little write up on the old mutiny stuff, just as a reminder and a "back in the day" type jobby because it's fun thinking back. secondly, since I'm a weirdo, I printed off pages of the mutiny site back when it existed. So if you want me to scan and send you what I have, I could totally do that.

And I mean totally.

Otherwise, enjoy the board!!

EDIT: Here's a little taste of the catalog--Like, what?? Familiar imagery and symbolism, though nowadays it's toned down and I think classier...

Yes please! Very Happy

I will take heed and shred lightly with it(like I have a choice Rolling Eyes

)

Mr. Chris graciously gave me one of these after the hurricane to give me something to shred on. Unfortunatly I haven't been going as much as I wanted to. But hopefully that will change soon.

Gnarly Dancer 42, search it. Bad vibes and stolen ideas led to parting ways.

is this a real mutany? or one of these pirated fake one things?

RUSSIAN · Posted: Jul 15, 2007 3:04 pm Post subject:

I'm pretty sure it's real. It was bought when they were still in business.

hmmm...I wouldn't describe them as "fake", but it's more about a principal thing, as in buying the board under erich's company vs. buying a mutiny but from some dude who doesn't deserve your money.
