I get my new / second hand PSH 10.6 tomorrow cant wait to see how it performs against my old aircraft carrier.I now it don't sound so hot to you blokes riding your short sups ; but i hope it will be the perfect all round board and something i can improve my mediocre surf skills on.All we need is some swell here on the Goldy , for the blokes who sup around mermaid i hear they caught a 3 meter hammerhead today.I noticed alot of bait fish in the water yesterday so with our birds eye view we might see a few over the next wek or so.

Hey TEATREE, yep its on its way - beautifully gift wrapped for you!

This is one of my favorite boards and I know it is going to a good home!
I have ridden it in 1'-8' and loved every minute of it. Put a nice flexy 7.5" fin in it when it is a bit smaller and it will turn on a dime. The 8.5" fin that comes with it is a more 'drivey' fin when there is more juice.






I reckon these hand glassed PSH boards will be collectors items one day.

The stickers on the sides - we stick, one either side, in the MIDDLE of all our boards - it is a great reference point when standing on your board - stand right beside them when it is smooth and calm - get back behind them when it is choppy or you are going for waves.

It also has nice thick PVC rail guards which you can take off if you wish but they do a nice job of protecting the rails!

Enjoy!!

Nice one Teatrea. You're going to enjoy that board. I've ridden it a few times and I really liked it.

Here's a clip from one of those sessions: www.CyberSUP.com/video1.html

And here's a review of it: www.CyberSUP.com/review7.html

Good one Teatrea. I'd love to surf Angourie on a performance SUP. Make sure you hit it mega early and you might get a few to yourself. Probably best to avoid it in the middle of a nice day with cranking waves - I was there once in those conditions, about to walk down the path when up staggers this tall, distinguished gentleman with blood pouring out of his face. His son was there helping him and I asked him if his board had hit him. He said, nah, some guy out in the surf had hit him! I guess that's what they call "surf rage".

Good advice , when i went down last time i made sure i stayed well away from the crowd , ill just park my car a few K,s away so at least if the locals get upset they won,t trash my car if they cant find it (lol).
