6’9″ Love Machine FM Surfboard (SOLD)

£859.00

The 6’9 FM is the fastest and loosest of the FM range. Its rounded thumb tail and relatively chunky rails means that from waist to head high this is about as much fun as you can have on a mid length. You can surf it relaxed and just let the trim do its work, or you can surf it more aggresively top to bottom, hit the lip, and give it a good ol’ hack should you fancy. This versaility, as well as the ease with which it does it, is the reason this is the best selling FM model and an absolute winner in your average UK surf conditions.

This particular board was a customer board, which unfortunately had the wrong fin box colour added so was re-made. In that respect this board is new, and in perfect condition. As you can see in the dims its 1/4 narrower than a stock FM and so goes slightly quicker from rail to rail – ther perfect tweek for a slightly more responsive 6’9 FM.

6’9 x 20 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ = 41.5L

Description

Notes from Ryan: “The FM isn’t a ‘channel bottom’ in the classical sense – the channel is there as a break for water flow, but it isn’t doing for the board what most designers are chasing in the deeper more exaggerated channel bottoms that are so popular right now. This design sports a pretty hefty spiral vee in the back half of the board, and while that is amazing for rail transitions and feel, it creates suction between the board and wave; the channel breaks that water flow that is sucking onto the board, so you get the three-dimensional value of the spiral vee and its rolling sensation, but without the stickiness. You’ll notice the 7’2 has a straight channel as opposed to the curved one that most have become accustomed to in seeing the FM; the first 15 or so boards all had a straight channel like this, and as Pat’s was in that batch, so I’m running with it for this model as we’re making dead on 1 for 1 copies.”
