Sliding Time Machine by Master Craftman: Nestor Ramirez-Pelicano Surfboards

                         During the evolution of surfboards, the "Egg" is the most versatile shape of all. If you are concern about how the conditions are and  undicide about your's day equipment, this board design never fails. After my decision, I decided to go to the Father of Shapers in Puerto Rico, the founder of Pelicano Surfboards, Nestor Ramirez. The design was obtained from the Malcom Campbell, "Egg" Bonzer. Foward outline and 2+1 Fin arrangement. To mantain the alternative soul, green resin tint with gloss was added, ending in a superb glass job by Nestor's son, Guali Ramirez.
                        This board is magic, very easy padling and wave catcher. The definition of an oll rounder board. It was a good decision of choosing a Greenough 4A flex fin which complement very well the design. This shape will never die!
