Looking forward to winter swell, and a new long board, anyone got any feed back on the tufflites? particularly in the 9 footer range?

not the nine footer but a friend of mine has the 6'3 i think and rekons the board is awsome really great alround board! and soo blody strong but they are expensive to repair if u damage them but if it was a normal board it would be broken!

I've got two of them. One 8 ft & one 6'10'. Love them both strong, corky, easy to paddle. Just make sure you put good fins in them. The ones they come with are crap.

any one know how you fix dings, do you use the usual two pack ding stick? or for big ones use epoxy and glass,??

Hey Arancini,
at Windshack we are selling the whole range of Surftech, short and longboards, we also repair the boards too. Same thing, like sailboards.
Epoxy is really the way to go, much stronger and lighter (exp for longboards)and if you wish to sell it holds the value.
Check them out on:

http://www.windshack.com/products.php?cat=longboards&PHPSESSID=64faf552132bb553e3dda47f166fac07

best shapers in the world are there.
Im riding a Robert August Wingnut 9'4", its a great board for Perth, and it works so well down south too.
We have a couple of demos if you want to have a spin.
So looking forward to winter swell!
Ciao
Alberto

why do you say that surfer? is it the mass production, loss of identity trip? or are the actually crap to use, lets face it the imports are swamping the market, and you have to admit the surftech concept of grabbing the "name" shapers is a fantastic marketing ploy, I would much rather get a Len Dibben, but Im sick of crap glassed boards falling apart after a few years, (no offence to Len, Ive never had one of his boards and I hear they are well made and super strong) Eevn Len sells the NSP boards!!!

The boards look ok although they do feel a bit different. I personally wouldn't own one, I find the whole production of surfboards in third world country's souless to say the least, but thats life.

I have a 6' watercooled surftech thing and I really like it. It paddles fast, is stable, turns real good and has held up to my abuse.
The only thing I have found is that it does bounce around a bit if it gets a bit messy or big.

I also got a 6' super fish in polyester and that goes real good as well. So i guess I'm no real help.

do your self a favour

webber afterburner with h2 fins

best board ever had, same comments from others i've bumped into with the same board

they are not indestructible, ding eggshell and pressures butpretty robust and lite

len makes great strong boards, had his customs for many years

tufflite good if u know what u want shape wise
