Zeusman,

Thanks

I'm now buying custom SUP's here in Sydney. Designed, shaped and glassed all within a 45 minute drive from my home.

Hey Zeusman 45 mins drive from Sydney ? Are we talking the Central Coast ?

I don,t know how its gonna be in Australia, but here in Europe we are been hit pretty hard as well and with windsurf equipment I see the custom builders rising there price as well because its insane that a good custom is more expensive as an production board.

I believe that you can get a custom SUP from Bert Burger at Sunova.... which is an Aussie company, with a factory in Thailand.

Full custom..... and it can be built exactly the same way all Sunova XXX Tech SUP's are.

World class shaper, very light, very tough and they are some of the most affordable SUP's out there.

I disagree.

Sunova's new 2016 pricing has it catching the other large brands in pricing. Sunova boards are just about in the same price point as the JPs, Naish etc etc. Whereas it was I can get a custom or a Sunova for about the same price…it is now I can get a custom or pay more and choose a Naish, JP, Sunova etc etc

I've recently bought two customs from Mick Slatery who owns Surefire SUP. As most Breezers know i've owned a fleet of boards since starting this sport. I can honestly say that the two Mick has done for me are the best i've ever ridden hands down!!! I know its very much a gamble when you go custom. You may end up out for your first session thinking "Oh dear.... what have I done?!?!" But my mind was actually thinking "WOW!!! Why didn't I do this years ago?!?!" I think as long as you have a vague idea what size and shape you're after, then a good shaper will nail it for you.

I'll be doing a vid with Mick and another mate some time soon to show off Micks goodies so stay tuned.

Anyone want his number?

Jeez, how did you get past Border Force zeusman. They been apprehending your sorts and pushing them back north over Georges river on punctured orange isups.

Sorry. I should've been more specific. 45 minutes from Bondi to the Shire.... Which is kinda like Sydney.

Nah the shire is nothing like Sydney..............its God's Country..........and don't you forget it eastern suburbs boy

Right on cue mr Hitman
We're like the dynamic duo. I line 'em up, you knock 'em down

It's easy as mate. Just blow up a balloon and draw an ugly face on it with some dribble hanging out the side of its mouth, then sticky tape it to my right shoulder. Look just like a local then.

Ladies and Gentlemen...we have a winner!

someone has to buy the big brands still though cause they pay for the advertising on this site that keeps it running for us to all whinge on.. Are the custom guys going to start paying for it?

Mick at Surefire Boards draws on his surfing background and applies it to SUP's. I have had a few people comment when I am walking
up the beach about how good my board looks (shape and Carbon Innegra bottom). Too bad they don't complement me on my surfing ability or physique. One out of three is OK.

and how did it compare DJ?

By the same token, you can fly to China in a few hours and get a custom made if you really want. And they are more likely to speak a language you understand.

That would be a stupid comment.
IMHO.
