Hi guys ,

After a few months surfing my Smik Hipster Twin Custom ( www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/Review/French-Smik-Hipster-Twin-Custom?page=1#6 ) here in France and so satisfied with this one, I cracked a few weeks ago and placed an order with Antoine from Smik Europe for a Custom LongSup ....

After a few exchanges, wishing for a LongSup that was large enough and buoyant for my size as a lumberjack (+/-110kg and 1m89) and my improving level, in order to be able to catch the slightest undulation and be able to surf for hours without tiring, we set off on :

- Style Lord model ( smiksup-europe.com/products/smik-style-lord-v2?variant=43253671559411 )
- 10'2 x 32'1/2
- 167 liters
- 2+1 assembly
- Squash Tail
- Parabolic carbon PVC construction

Now all you have to do is wait !!

And really thank you to Antoine from Smik Europe for the availability and the advice !!!

I look forward to seeing its progression.

Hi Ben, if this is half as nice as your Hipster is will be one great board, looking forward to seeing what the two of you guys have come up with.

In the meantime, here is the second stage of my project, the design of this future Style Lord :

That's a beut...totally unique

What a great looking board, very artistic and you will see it coming in the water, looks fantastic.

Hi Ben, the board looks fantastic, hope you get out in some waves soon. Then you will find some SMIK magic.

Cheers.

Steve.

Loving that colour scheme. Retro, yet modern.

Awesome ENJOY

Wow!!!

Thanks guys !!!
She is absolutely beautiful !!!
I'm so happy with the result, the example sketch I provided them is 100% respected, see the result is even better than what I had in mind, great work !!!
And what about the shape... the hull is super worked (we manage to distinguish it on the photos) and the rails are just crazy, the rails on the front half remind me of the rails of the Californian nose rider (surf) and on the the rear half the rails of the Takayama In The Pink that I had so much to say that it promises only good !!!

Really a big THANK YOU to Antoine from Smik Europe, Scotty and the whole Smik team !!!

Awesome-looking board! And really good to hear about the process of Smik, how they inform you at every step is pretty cool!
I wish you a lot of good waves on this board, it should handle pretty well.
