I was given this board to try and have been surfing it for a couple of weeks. It's very nice. I'm 90 kg and I think this board would be well worth considering if you aren't a lightweight, but want to go down to a board size that will perform more like a short board. I normally surf a Naish 9'0" and/or 8'5" Hokua. This board has more volume than either, a little flatter (the Naish's have more tail rocker) so glides well and is quite stable. It does roll a little, side to side, but has reasonable secondary stability so you don't fight the roll.
I haven't yet taken any water shots (weather has been ****e down here this week), but will try to do so.
Here are a few photos to give you an idea of what it looks like.
The board is flat near the nose, goes into some concave around the middle and then a slight v approaching the fins.
Interesting looking board prop you've got their Ross. Not as high tech as Lacey's BBQ, but classy nonetheless.
Yep....it's a full one too. Not filled with old wax or mouldy socks.
Carlton/VB have been good to SUP Vic.....saving that slab (with a few others) for the SUP Vic surfing weekend in three week's time. Yewww!
I actually like the old school lines in the nose, like a 70s nose. Maybe it's the paint job but it's bloody nice
