| Thanks Will,
There is one for sale here, it's size is what I'm looking for, but
it sounds like a pure wave board, not suitable for flater water or
gorge type conditions?

| I haven't spent enough time on that board to really tell you. Weird
things happen with some boards with weight combinations that the board
wasn't designed for. Sometimes a board designed for one thing will work
really well for something it was NOT designed for when you expand the
weight parameters: in other words if you are really light or really
heavy sometimes that completely changes how a board works and thus what
conditions it works well for. The Carver was most likeley designed
around a guy who weighs 180 lbs and sails sideshore waves. If you are in
a totally different weight class, who knows how the board will work in
flat water or Gorge conditions for YOU? It could be perfect, or it could
be a nightmare. I've seen the most un-expected results sometimes. But
based on the numbers, I would guess that there might be a better match
out there for you, unless you want to take a major chance on this board.
It could work out great, who knows? If the price is right, it could be
worth a shot, otherwise, keep looking is my advice.
This was a long paragraph that says, "I have no idea."

| It's an older Drops wave board. Not a Sean Ordonez shape, but a pretty
okay board. I think the Carver 83 was Kalama's board, that they turned
into his pro model for a year or two. Really good construction, but the
shape is a little bit specialized.
