I like the looks of the traveller. But that's just from looking a reading in the Net.

I'm aiming for off the rack walk in pay walk out...

Never again for me! I'm sooooooo stoked on my latest custom. I don't know if I'll ever need to replace it, as it is a tough mo-fo, but if I do, I know the wait will be worth it.

Well there is that...

Rode a mates puddle jumper. loved it. It was smaller than I would get for myself but still awesome. I like the full isn template.
you can't go past a custom, if you know what you want, if you don't may take a board or two to get it but you'll develop that relationship with your shaper, and live happily ever after.

To be more specific,my last two customs were off oceanline. Both excellent excellent boards,
I feel though that cause they are both epic boards i ride them the same in similair waves.
Id like to buy something that will push my surfing a bit and want to see it prior to buying it.
The lost piddle jumper gets me pretty excited or anything by biolis.
Same as the firewire, have jad a few of dan.thomsons boards and love them.
Why the rusty??? Well havent had a rusty for ten years, they used to be made in perth, not sure anymore but surely they are tried and proven.
Want a board that when i ride and snap it eventually i can go in and get another

New JS are good FMN or Monster6 might be the go?

I have timbertek firewire unibrow 6 6
love it

but I am a bit long in the tooth and need a 40litre board
ride it as a quad and it goes great in anything I will tackle these days

4-5' tombies my ideal wave,

durable and looks the bomb

I have a 6'10 traveller I'm selling (36litres) if interested (great condition) but sounds like it's bigger then your looking for

What about 6'6 PyzAlien by FW ? Can someone comment ?
Seen it on a rack at my local shop. I think I want one.

Hard choice you've got there mate. The puddle jumper is a great board but it might not suit if you're looking for a 6'5-6. My brother has one and is the same height and weight as me (6'5 and 90ish kg) and ride it at 5'8 (36.8L). I'd imagine a 6'5, if they are available in that size would be a bit of a boat. If you like biolos stuff check out the ...lost Round Up. I was looking at one a while ago at about 6'5 but ended up going with a custom. Very nice board and should suit what you are wanting

Nope just the right amount super hard edge along the the bottom of the rail front to back = maximum speed....mines a 7'0 and its good and I mean real good when the conditions get super juicey
