Coreban

Easy Rider has received it’s first Coreban board. We will be carrying the full line for 2011, and were sent a  9’6″ board in the Core Range to try out at our West Edmonton Mall surf sessions. Coreban makes top quality boards and they come with fins, a board bag, a leash and in most cases a paddle (the race boards do not come with a paddle). Look for them to be arriving at Easy Rider around the beginning of April, 2011. http://www.coreban.com/

On the bottom some thermal shorts with some cold weather cycling pants over top. For my feet (the most important part) I had Quiksilver Cypher 7mm booties. Was out for about 45 minutes – […]
