tyler sleek zeke
im really interested in the sleek zeke's design, especially the rocker. i know the rocker is heavier then most 60's style longboards, but it cant be too much as there is no edge in the tail because too much just wouldn't work with that style board.
if you have one, can you describe it a little? i want to get something shaped similar to that, but dont want to pay 1200 bucks for the name "tyler" on it, so i can feel cool.
thanks,

I was under the impression that the Sleke Zeke was similar to a Weber Performer. The Noserider is similar to a Bing DN noserider. The Wingnose is similar to a Peck Penetrator. And the Pintail is, well, a pintail. The Riddler is similar to a Jacobs 422 (hips) with a Nuuhiwa riddler nose (square nose).
Similar is the operative word.

i,ve owned a new 9-8 bing "DN" noserider ,made by matt calvani, for about 6 months, $825. worth every penny. i can do hang tens on demand, and im now working on hang heels and reverse walking, you know walking on the board in the reverse direction of w/ the board is traveling from the nose to the tail. buy one and ride it for a while, if you still cant hang a 10 or even a 5, then just give up surfing cuz you got no skills =) that board comes with a very fancy t-band of redwood,balsa, hi-density foam,balsa, then redwood stringer,and glassin fin ,tail block , and a bomb proof volan glass job-.matt took the time to chat with me for thirty minutes ,and shaped a board custom to my wieght and exsperence.the noserider has alot of tail rocker that kinda drags alot when pulling into waves but this also makes the board turn from the tail very well.

.....yeah, shannon's board is my wet dream come true. you can do jumping jacks on the nose of this thing and it never loses its line.
