Thats me and im riding a 10ft Honolua board. They are shaped by a local shaper on the Gold Coast Daniel MacDonald.
And its made up of 6 bits of foam with stronger foam stripes going down the middle.
So where they join it looks like a stringer but its not
Great sesh spewing i missed it , god damn work sucks.Hopefully tonight will be good looks like the swell is picking up.
Thanks SECARTERMUSS nice pic's, looked like a nice sesh, geez it would be nice to still be in boardies only I was up on the Goldie in Jan/Dec when you guy's were having that wild weather and huge swell, biggest waves i had ever seen on the Goldie. It was a pitty there was so much debri in the water and the beaches were closed until the last couple days of my holiday.
Here's a pic from the Q1 observation tower on the day the weather stated to clear. The dark line along the beach is the washed up debri that went the whole length of the Goldie
HERES JUST A FEW PICS OF THE BOARDS THAT JAKE AND CHRISSY WERE OUT ON
THIS DAY AND ALSO THE HOME MADE PADDLE CHRISSY MADE. jACKO AND MYSELF WERE ON 10 6 NASH AND STEVOLISHOUS WAS ON THE 11 6 AND CULTMAN STEVE WAS ON A SOUTHPOINT 12FT NICE VARIETY OF BOARDS
Can u see wat i mean now DJ?
With the stretched blank (6 bits of foam)
The glue makes it look like they are stringers but their just higher density of foam stripes.
Very good, No dents at all which is surprising.
Yer its a short board leggy, as i have snapped a fair few with the solid 5 ft swell we have been surfing l8ly so we are running out of leggies lol.
Btw DON'T buy FCS leggies we had a 10 ft leggy and it lasted 2 months, we didnt snap it the stitching just came undone.
I just got a Creatues leggy today, one made for Waimea so that should hold up hopefully.
Yer the kevlar with the wood deck looks quite good!
You dont have to worry about dings on the rails cuz its tough as nails
I was talkin' about leggies the other day to the guys in the shop..and they reckon Balin are the best..?
How popular are Balin leggies up there..What about Full Bore?
One of the US guys was asking me about them (FB) but I don't seem to see them here anymore.
He said they were the best but can't get them in the US anymore.
DJ
Yer i dunno i have never used them to be honest,
Their not very popular up here, most SUPers are using Creatures, Ocean and Earth and some use Dakine.
I havent seen a full bore leggy but i have heard of them.
Oh ok yer i wouldnt know never used Full bore leggies.
Is Balin popular down their?
Yes..But I think Balin are so popular because they are made local (Flinders or Rye I think)..and they claim to be the only leggies still made in Oz.
Full Bore are also pretty local (local company)..they're in Torquay I think..but made OS.
I heard that the way to go for sup is half coiled and half straight..with the straight end hanging off the back of the board and dragging in the water putting tension on the coiled end that goes on the ankle...Sound like an idea..There has only been prototypes so far but someone might make them if they work that good.
DJ
All the best of luck to Mr. B. Over for Thursday as he competes in the SUP heats at the Longboard Festival ... Go hard Snake Man!!!!
Yes, good luck ben. I hope the swell backs off just a bit so i can get out for a session at the alley this wkend.
As we all know i'm very picky with my sup conditions!! LOL
Oh yeh i've also handed your torn 10ft fcs leggie in and i have got you a 12ft replacement. Will make sure i get it to you or your dad asap.
x angie
