Yeah the 17' has been moved back a bit till summer. Got a JL 9-9 Mano for up north this winter so I don't get mown down so often. The missus is cool with me upgrading to a 17' as long as she can upgrade the bed to a kingsize. Win ,win if you ask me..

Andrew, thanks for the update,must say i'm keen to see them in the flesh. So many boards so little time, and err money as a side note to my body surfing disaster just paid $2750 yesterday for my implant surgery. Painfull op and painfull in the pocket and still have to pay for a bridge and crown to boot DOH, worse still,no time in the water is the hardest to put up with.
That's 806 Comp Weight Ripper is the one I like the specs on. If only someone would buy my 903 Ripper.....
On the veneers-has there been any feedback on repairing them? I'd think that might quickly bugger the aesthetics of a wood veneer (nice as they look) and be an expensive repair.

Repairs are easy to hide with wood due to its 'natural' irregular look. Straight Epoxy has a yellow tinge so it blended in nicely. Not perfect, but looks fine.
Don't tell the wife[}:)]
