i would have been way happy with that today....as the boys said it was a horrible day....unlike what mac said i have hopes the weekend will be fun

yes the latest forecast looking better

That new board sounds excellent drip

3 and a 1/4 ? tab over kill for your weight,whats the reason behind that the drip

Good point waves alley hollow back washy take off.

Dam bloody long boards.

Took me about 6 waves to adjust

Just like Tux said. It's a gun shape for waves that have me questioning whether or not I want to be out there. Lots of guys go as far as four inch boards here and I am not adverse to going thicker if Mark suggests it. The board itself is a long way off and I have just started email discussions about what I think I want vs what the shaper thinks I need (I am smart enough to listen to him).

I recently surfed my 8' in some solid waves (8 foot with the odd bigger set) with a mate who is an absolute charger and hits the outer reefs here at 15'+ on his 8'6". We swapped boards after the car park comparison. His board was 1 1/2 inches narrower with heaps more nose rocker. When we swapped, I was appalled at how poorly it paddled into waves. His comment was he wouldn't like to take a late drop on my board, to which I replied that his board was making him take late drops as that nose rocker was slowing him down so much. Anyway, after swapping some pm's with people and asking some advice and seeing what people here do, I am happy to begin planning and ordering some sort of gun.

It may finish up being an evolution of what I am riding already, but I have pictures in my head of something based on Simondo's boards and some Kirk Bierke boards I have seen. While up north recently I had two smoking waves where I was trying to pull super high on my 7' single fun to have enough speed before the section threw and I twice slipped out of the face. I kept control both times, but I want some sort of side fins. It may finish up being a 2 + 1 as I really like that feel, but lots of people use quads in guns and I recently enjoyed a quad for the first time. One of the mitigating things that puts me off four plugs and a box is the back end of the board is then just really busy and ugly with blank bits.

Mark is still travelling in a yacht so the board is two months away, but he can come up with a design to be pre cut and hand finished when he gets back.

Managed to score some crackerjack offerings at first light this morning farken stoked deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious

i just lurked around and watched. Was very straight on the low tide,it did start getting better,,,,When it did the crowd were onto it
