Julian Wilson’s Stab in the Dark Medley

Welcome back to Stab in the Dark! We’re looking back on our precious little project like proud parents, and to celebrate here’s a couple of little treats. The clip above is all surf, and comes fresh from the Julian camp courtesy of filmer Jimmy Lees. The pages below are the feedback forms that Julian had to fill out for each of the cleanskin boards in order for us to rank them. You know that Darren Handley (DHD) won, but here’s what Julian thought of each of the crafts while he put pen to paper just after he exited the brine. Such playful insight! Oh, and if you want to win one of the precious crafts, the all you have to do is name the order in which they appear in the clip, and we’ll ship one straight to your door! Here’s the names of the shapers from which you’ll have to choose: – JS – DHD – Panda – Sharp Eye – Dahlberg – Robo – Channel Islands – Mayhem – Chilli – Simon Anderson – Stamps Enter in the comments below!
