look what arrived in the post today....

I got on to Mark + Andres and asked about a custom FX. Personally I found the existing one better suited to calmer waters. So this has a slightly recessed deck and a rounded bow +14x26 as I'm no featherweight.

I gotta say in the flesh she looks amazing, such a great finish and amazing care taken in packing and transport, thanks again Andres + crew. Will update post test drive.

Sweet, expect to see it tomorrow

Let us know how the board and that fin VMG35 test results?

will do.

1st ride yesterday so plenty to get used to but first impressions are super happy with the new ride. Exceeded my expectations in terms of stability and speed. Handled rough water in Sydney Harbour markedly better than current FX, dealt with back wash/chop and some decent swell easily by comparison to other all-water boards I've tried. Almost as steady as my 14 Bullet in the rough, but noticeably quicker in the flats with less effort. I couldn't be happier with it for an all-purpose/all-rounder/ training board. If put into production it'll be some real competition for the other all-water alternatives + with SIC quality construction/pedigree etc. VMG35 felt great in there to, was fine in the rough stuff and great in the flats..is there a VMG that doesn't feel great?

Clearly stating brand association here, I am behind VMG Blades.

Thanks Grenfell of course all VMG Blades fins feel great
