here I am, your rocket gem...

...after many years of gracing the McKevlin's wall, Shane Dorian's 6'3" Rocket Gem is now in my possession. I've waited years to ride this board, and today's the day.
This board was shaped for Shane Dorian by JC. No, not that JC. The John Carper JC.
And signed by Shane-O himself. It's got a solid glassing schedule of 4 ounce deck, 4 ounce bottom and its been slightly buckled already. My guess is I'll break it during the first session.

How'd it ride? Still in 1 piece?

The force is strong with the Lost RNF... I had to go with old faithful. Just wasn't enough wall for the Rocket Gem. Another day my friend, another day. I am going to shave my head and wear one of those inflatable vests Shane-o stylee when I do ride it though.
