The reason for me is that when the Shapiro came out in 03 I was 14, I rode a old crappy 01 setup and since the very first time I saw the board, I fell in love... Now I am 18, I ride for O'Brien and with all the money I've been saving with my hookups, I would still absolutely love this board just to have. I don't plan on riding it at all, I ride an 06 Player and an 06 Natural. I just love the board, thats it.
Speak for myself though, not Braden
