Nothing wrong with mini long.

Chrispy why the bee sting tail. Its got to be a risk and probably make it harder to move on later if and when.

Any channels. I would be thinking loosening up the board. But would a couple of classy fluted fliers do the trick

no idea why it works. i took the shop board for a few weeks and tried to buy it,del was nah i will make a better one. i had a new shorty sorted and was ready to be done,then my girl was bitching on about the shop board i wanted and why am i not buying that if it was so good...geez i love her

take it it for wave lacey,im looking forward to getting it into some punch,but so far,beyond good.....a 6ft might be on the cards though

Does look nice. You know I have the wombat up for sale because I really wanted a lightweight version with a concave rather the n vee.

But I digging the p5 so much im thinking to myself do I really need to get another sb. What any other board is going to do that this cant.

Im scared - one shortboard, is it possible

but im sure ill come through and think up some excuse

No - as you will need to change the "Keeper" soon

I am going to track a P5 down and see what all the rave is all about

off hand 6' and 34 lts. width i'll get back to you. rails quite full where your chest is but thins out in the nose and rails behind.

im impressed with the balance of the board - its clever. it kind of has a late nose rocker. looks like a flat board paddles like one but feels rockered.

we'll catch up and you can have a gender and a ride but may not have your lts im guessing

Mr vanders there is a lot of history there with that dragon.

When the mr twinnies first came out is was like a gold rush and with good reason-the boards ripped like nothing that had been seen before.

The small dragon logo was as much a part of the board as the twin fins themselves.

I for one would be rapt to have someone hand do that art. Im surprised it was allowed to be honest

Not your fault their Vanders - honest mistake

IF you look on his website he has some super nice looking old style 'Lightening Bolt' Guns - they look simply delicious

For me it was this one by far. 36 litres and only 5'11. Kinda similar to LLs MR. Perfect for the beachy near my house.

Thanks -probably a touch too thin for me but it certainly looks the goods. Let see how the Nano goes first though. Hoping I will get to have a play on the AM2s tom morning early as the wind has backed off this arvo. Been a while since I rode a thruster - should be fun !

really, you've been a sly dog quadman then?

if the wombat goes I may look hard at the ranger series instead of a lightweight wombat

yep ! Got the Sweet Potato in a Quad setup four plus years ago and never ridden anything else since. Love the feel of the quads - especially when its bigger and hollower - more fin in the wave. Lets see how the Nano goes. I normally ride wide / big volume tails - quads seems to suit those I reckon. But I am taking on yr advice and taking the plunge with the Nano. Time will tell - you are the master fin man though
