OK I was still undicided the Noserider,sure its a lovely looking log so I started talking myself into another one as mentioned.
So I needed to clear my head so off I went to pay mct a visit,on the way I was trying to be open minded listen for once to whatever
was heading my way

OK sweet GT who I've surfed with heaps was working about 30 mins later Bob rocks in.I was greeted with what do we have here both
looking at my Noserider which I was using as a trade.Its a monster said Bob,GT its a massive beast you don't need a board that big mate.
So GT tells Bob how I surf,Bob asked so your not a traditional type then,GT yells out NO,I reply no,Bob asked what do you want the board for
and to do,I rattled off a reply.Bob said right give me a minute then he appears with a board,here you go this is the trick,its a FB squaretail 908.
I'd trim down the width and thickness from the one he was showing me and he them went on to why this board will be my friend,Bob Likes useing
the term(be your friend) I remember him telling me that about the hatched fin some time ago.9.8 X 23 X 23 1/8 was agreed by all.Bob then said
wow I've got to go,GT then rattles off about the way I sell myself short by going so big on some of the boards,he wrote down my perfect quiver.
Panned out with this FB I've have it

Now I'm a lot clearer and Lance made mention about board length,he has nothing over 9.6 why do we need a bigger board? more volume maybe =
less performance in my book!
So there LL happy now
