This Third World Exotic surfboard was shaped by Larry Mabile of Southern California, custom shaped. Its dimensions are 6'2" Fish shape 2.75" x 20" width. Four FCS fins included, the tail shape is unique, doubly stepped for speed and rail bite. This board is very fast, and will catch anything from knee high to a little overhead. The board is in very good condition just a few superficial pressure dings. It is water tight, never left out in the sun, and well cared for. PM me for more details or email my roomate at: salfortruth@gmail.com. Feel free to contact me with any questions! Asking price: $425.00

LArry Mabile is indeed a great shaper...works for Gordon & Smith presently, once again.
I share that fact so those uninformed may seriously consider buying your board if they are looking for one with that shape, etc.

That appears to be a quad with twinzer fins. Not sure how that setup would work - fin placement is totally different for twz / quad. Lead fins on the twz (just barely) overlap the leading edge of the rear fins.

I think he put the fins in wrong.

You would know, but those look like twz fins to me.

Twinzers aren't set like that. Also he uses glass fins for twinzers.

Yes: twinzer fins aren't set like that - that's because that board is a quad - not a twinzer (please see previous posts). Your eyes are better than mine if you can tell what those fins are made of.

when i first saw the setup i said that it looked funny.
he said no no the guy at the shop showed him how to do it
i shrugged it off.
my friend doesn't exactly surf all that frequently (which is why the board is in such good shape) and who knows what the dude at the shop was on...
so why don't you buy it and try all the different setups with it you want!!!
i sure as hell don't know a thing about it, but even if its wrong its been fun as hell!
perhaps i should change it up myself and take it for a spin and report back.
oh yea and the fins are made out of pixie dust and rainbows i think.

FWIW I ordered this board, along with 3 other boards for friends, from Larry days after after his split from KG. The fins that were delivered with this board were Larry's own white glass fins. That's what is likely hiding under the paint there...
This board IS a quad. Dave is absolutely correct. They're reversed. Though having ridden a handfull of his boards like this one, they're fun either way, right of wrong.
Bump for a great board, from a great builder, and if still the original owner- a great guy

For the record, I was the one who said it was a quad (see #4 and #8 above). I'm still trying to figure out what Dave was saying.

no, i was saying that the twinzers come with his templet fins in glass and they are over lap the leading edge of the big fins.the way that board is set up it is a quad with the fins in backwards.
