Age: | 30 |
| Name: | Nyoman Muditawan (Aka Tommy Barrell) | |
| Location: | Bingin, Bali, Indonesia | |
| Board Dimensions: |
5'10 x 17 1/2" x 2"1/16 5'8''x 18"x 2 1/8'' Scimitar. Hux hooked me up with this new board shape that Reesy was working on. I wanted a board for small beach break surf like Kuta, Padma St. We went 5'8''x 18x 2/18'' with a real pulled in swallow tail. I took purchase recently and went out on it straight away at 3-4 ft perfect Bingin. . Your onto something here Reesy. This board is so fast and holds so good in the barrell. I was worried it might skip out on me, but with the pulled in tail it gives me so much bite and release through carving turns. Best one yet! This board works great in fast barrelling waves and still performs well in slowish small beach breaks. |

| About Primitive Surf: | I have been riding for Primitive for ten years now and think my boards are amazing! Craig has been really helpful with my boards, as I travel to many different locations he is able to share his knowledge and help shape boards that best suit my surfing style. I love my 5'9 x 17 3/4 x 2 1/16 swallow tail at the moment it goes good in most conditions and i use it for competing. |

| About Primitive Surf: | I have been Riding for Primitive for about 8 years now, at first i changed my board dimensions all the time, but once Reesy shaped me the MAGIC STICK (6'2" 18"1/4 2"1/4). Now I can't ride any other shapes, Primo boards just feel like they are a part of my feet. Reesy's knowledge has grown along with the team and the Primitive brand. I am proud to ride for such great people and on great equipment. |
