Thought i might place a report out there as Im one of the people to get the new construction PSH. Thanks to AA, i received my new 9'2 on Friday. Keen to get it in the water i drag my self down to lorn to test it out in the stormy weather. This board rocks, not only is it easy to throw it around off the tail in the pocket or off the lip, its also amazing to have the ability to get some tip time, and the best part it is now my easiest board for nose 360's. I cant fault this board it really is a great all rounder.

And in comparison to the 9'2 hand shape PSH, they fell very similar. The new construction is a little more boyant but looks fairly similar in the shape right through the board.

All up stocked with my red beast.

Good one Matty. Welcome to the 'Breeze.

How tippy was it while waiting out the back (especially in the chop you must have got)?

hey DJ, im 6ft and around 90kg at the moment with out a suit. Lorne was still windy yesterday and all over the place. I had a mate drop me off the peer and just rode the bombies, it was 4to5 and fun to test out the new boards.

hey casso, it feels a little more stable that my yellow 9'2 that you rode. the base looks identical, the only difference i have found is it feels a little bit loser for a tight turn in the pocket but seams to carve the same and very similar of the top.

Welcome aboard Matty thanks for the report , I get mine on Wednesday from Andrew as well , Im 6ft and 88kg and was a bit worried about it's stability , so I was stoked to read your report but unfortunately I have blown my shoulder and could be out of the water for a couple of weeks , fingers crossed it's nothing too serious I'm getting an MRI on my shoulder on Wednesday ...the day my board arrives

Hey Rob, I reckon you tell AA to hold off on sending the board up to Qld for a bit. Leave it in Sydney until your shoulder is all fixed up - I'll pick it up from AA and take it for a run, I'll do a full review, a nice SuckerCam vid and let you know how it goes (we are the same height and weight). What do you reckon?

Very funny Casso I'll take a quarterzone shot before I let that happen , it's looking more nerve related than actual damage.So I'm going to cut my paddle down another 2" to help take the pressure off the top of the shoulder and maybe get wet this weekend.

Blane welcome mate , would love to see some more shots of you guys ripping.

Rob i had some shoulder problems recentley and i reckon dont shorten the paddle but drop your lower hand down the shaft a bit more it seems to bring your lats into play and takes a lot of pressure of the shoulders , if you shorten the paddle you will be too bent over and then you get a sore back.It worked for me anyway and my shoulders are pretty stuffed from footy ect.

Hey jenkz- not as yet. The market is not big enough at this stage and supply is limited - a lot of the boards are sold before they land.

There are a number of PSH boards down Margaret's way, but none in Perth to my knowledge.

if you are ever down that way on a good day you will see the boys out ripping it up.

Check out this shot from a customer (who just bought a PSH 9'10 RIPPER) dropping in on this monster on his 12' sailboard!!



OMG No wonder he upgraded!!

Hey Blane, good to see your on the site. I know this is'nt a production board, but this is one of the my PSH 9'2 Hand shapes which feel similar. I will get some photo's up soon of the red beast.

Unpacked my 9-2 last night an compared it to my Ron House 9-10 , one thing that surprised me is that it's a few pounds heavier than my 9-10 even though it's 8 inches shorter.

What weight are these boards supposed to come in at ?

Hey PIROS, moulded boards are always slightly heavier than hand glassed boards - mainly due to the high density PVC foam used to add durability.

No one has ever commented on this on either PSH or Naish (similar construction except for wood veneer) - go ride it and let us know how it feels when surfing it!!
