Well not sure when I will get out due to work but this board is the Sh1t
The kids got the design nod and came up with this!
Its not Von Pyros but they love it!
Phill
Nice work Phill,you guy's rock and having a WHALE of a time
Next time pose in speedo's 
just joking
I've lost count,how many boards make a home 
mac
Looks great Phil. I wish I had the imagination to come up with somthing like that.
That's funny - I like it. He's a cute whale.
You coming on the downwinder tomorrow?
I have just worked all night I have a pounding headache but I am going to launch this baby!
I just hope green peace dont try to roll me back into the surf when I get back out
Phill
Cute 
How'd you get that thing inside the house without knocking over your prize Ming vase, family photos, & the missus's flowers 
Ok well the launching was done at Torquay Point and with no sleep.
The waves were pretty wind effected with a 20+ kn offshore.
Every now and then a nice 3-4ft set would roll through.
In short this board is a big ass ripper with heaps of performance, even in windy condition with a 3ft wave it just rips.
Big powerfull arcing turns and cutties, screaming fast runs down the line with toes over set this board apart from the pack.
I scored a nose ride at OG that I will remember forever.
Cant wait to get it in some serious juice.
Rich took one look at the Grip and the board was christened "Mr Chompy"
Enough Said.
Phill
that grip.. i just cant look Ive run out of undies from pissing myself
Its a good looking grip its the grown man holdng it.
Oh hell there goes another pair.
BP,
Its simple I asked the kids to design the Grip, they came up with "Mr Compy" and they did it as a Fathers Day present for me!
I like "Mr Chompy" he's unique and Niki says he has a big wide mouth so he can eat lots of big waves! I'm loving her work in that area.
This dad is gonna make sure Mr Compy gets really really fat.
Phill
Yes i know the kids worked on it, I just had a chuckle over you holding it and the look on your face.
Im looking into that board at the moment for the harbour but also the naish glide.
Phil,
Get your daughter on the gun alot. She will build stronger legs and be able to whip her short SUP around after using the gun. It is a great training tool. My son uses it all the time and when he gets on his short SUP he turns and controls the short SUP easier. Also you learn good foootwork being on a bigger board. Just a thought.
Aloha
Byron
Hey Byron.. Great vid.. Noah's got those heli's down pat now even if he does like to lay down on the job every now and then.. .. Love the one foot turns also.
DJ
Great vid Byron. Noah sure has fancy footwork and great board control DJ I think that move is called a dead cockroach isn't it?
Hey Byron,
Noah has beautiful foot work and best of all he uses the all of the old school and the new school skills. Tell him he rips.
That is the best Vid I have seen in a long time. I will show it to Krisiti, Nesh and Niki when they up.
Niki let Kristi have a go on the Dale Chapman 8ft a week ago and she just blew it up. I saw here get the board vertical at one point before she even knew she had done it.
Kristi is getting pretty handy on the Imperial 8.9 even in bigger surf.
.
How bright is the future for SUP.
These guys will just shred when they get tho the ripe old age of 15 laughs.
Byron thank you so much for posting the Vid. Keep them coming.
There are a couple of other kids down this way interested now and more Big Kids too!
If Kristi wants to she can also use the gun for down wind paddling.
Phill
Cool Phil. I read all about your daughter here and good on letting her use your 12 gun. When the waves are small get her on it the gun and tell her run up and down and turn. 6 months her level will be leaps and bounds guaranteed. Have fun and let your girls know Maui is watching.
Aloha
Byron
Is the 7'8 PSH board the same board Blane made for Aaron Nepoleans son?
I heard he is ripping too!
Paddles and boards for kids in Aus is a nightmare.
The Dave Boyd Imperials and Dale Champan Boards are by far the best hands down.
These 2 shapers have open minds and they truely live and love what they do.
They have a passion for SUP.
To see Dave Boyds eyes light up when he watches Kristi Sup is something to behold.
Without a great shaper as Wingnut said you drown lol.
Phill.
Thanks David and Hilly.
Phil not sure what Riggs Napoleon is riding. Noah's board is a 7'10 old shape as Blane says. Can't wait for the newer lighter stuff. Anyways back to the gun. Have fun and enjoy.
Aloha
Byron
nice grip job phil
get out on the 12ft er girls and smash it up like noah on the vid
just put that vid on for my 5yr old son he loved it
totally mental footwork noah keep up the good work mate and keep the old man on the end of the camera and throwing the odd vid up on the breeze for us....lol....
rock on dudes and happy fathers day
dogman
Hey Dogman,
I am sitting back in the recliner with Bacon and eggs on the way.
Swell has dropped to 6" overnight so me thinks Niki might get out today woooo hooo.
I think we might be able to fit all 3 girls on the 12ft gun, syncronized paddling anyone?
With 2 x natural footers and 1 x goofy there could be some issues.
Phill
