Don't you love picking up a new board. Got mine today, arrived to watch my mate spray the finishing laquer on and sand it back.
Can't wait to get it out there, gone totally away from my previous board shapes as I've finally accept I'm entering the next chapter of my surfing journey.

Kick pad, fins and leggy are on just need waxing up and waves. Hopefully Sunday if not to hang over.

It's a Wilkes original PYG, 6'6 with massive single concave, rounded pin and heaps of volume to paddle into waves early and allow me time to get to me feet Should be good for me up to about 5-6ft, which is fine because the only time I'll surf bigger than that is when I'm holding onto my kite.

Oh yeah and I was way to hung over to get out today. Mental note to myself, plan better so I don't have to drive home from Margrets the day after big party.

Ah sweet. Ive riden a few of Darryls boards including the PYG.
Are you good mates with him? He has been a friend of my families for years. He was the MC at my grandmas funeral last month.
Hopefully he will soon be making me my next 6'3 before Gnaraloo in October. WOOT!

Hey greeny, Dazz has done a couple kiteboards for me recently. He's a good bloke, a quick 10 min call in always turns into 1 hour discussions. He has a lot of experience and some good tales to tell.

Sorry to hear about your grandma, I do recall Dazz saying he was a bit behind for various reasons, the funeral being 1 of them.
