pow can come!

having some days off over new years, i decided to give my good ol' fish a new look. i traded some bindings with bene right before xmas (thanks for that, buddy!): the all purple version of the cartel EST! as purple is my colour of the season together with some shades of petrol, the board design of course had to match these colours :) ...

the original fish was nice, but pretty boring (silver with grey edges, 2008/09 design) and i always wanted to have a 'fischi fish' design, so it was about time to do it. i picked a mean looking comic piranha (well, i think i'll use that one also for the piranha 161 once it needs a redesign...) and it already matched the nose of the board pretty much. the tailfin also matched the fishtail, so all i had to do was to stretch the little buddy a bit (which later on does not matter with the bindings mounted).

after some illustrator work, i plotted the green, black and whiteform. the purple is below the design all over the board anyway. the small fish between the bindings had some tiny pieces (especially the teeth), which made me swear alot during the mounting process...

well, its finished now and i have to say, i'm pretty stoked on it. can't wait to ride it and have the evil grinning fish floating right before me. pow can come!
