Tully's Tunnel Rat Project has been years in the making and finally he's cracked the code!
The 4ft 6" Rat is ridiculously small but with Tully's new shape and design local surfers are frothing and commenting how the "Rat" can turn on rail.
With some lateral thinking, Tully has incorporated it into a 6ft 10" High-performance SUP T rat and with any luck Tully and myself will have it in the water smashing rail turns and insane fin slides mid next month. (Photo's and Video to come)
PS The photo's are Tully shaping/glassing the "SUP Rat" yesterday and Tully surfing the 4ft6 Rat 3 weeks ago.
Cheers Jonesy
Tullys 4'6" Tunnel Is generating a real buzz, Frothing to get my hands on his 6'10" SUP Tunnel Rat
So if a 70kg guy can ride a 6'10 then a 50kg girl could ride a 6 ????? or even a 5 ?????
Last time I saw a topic like this I bought one. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/A-Matched-Pair
Not sure I'm ready for a 4'6" surfboard. Wonder how it would go as a kiteboard?
Looks pretty wild can't wait to see the finished product, got to love the innovation from Tully.
hi Jonesy, what's up on the 6'10" channel bottom?
Did you try it? What kind of fins did you set on it?
I love my one 6'10" channel which is a round pin 6'10" 28,5"wide and 90 liters, float well my old 75kg on clean waves.
I reckon put the AB2 fcs fins on it or a quatro of TC whiteline as well combo of TC red and Aqualine

Bloody good question......... Dogman nicked it from me for this Surftec Circus gig before I could have a go. Should be getting it back soon!
Cheers Jonesy
you'll never get it back JONESY......LOL!!!!!!!!!
here is my report....
at my pudgy 90+kg lump of lard the rat aka "little fatty" is a bit of a struggle in choppy conditions
but OK in pure glass
it took a while to get used to paddling it and staying upright
and a few waves to get my head around getting my "wiggle on"
THEN HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! i was unloading turn after turn like a madmen possessed
power turns too.... not those gay as sin fanny flicks
ive had a few gem moments putting that thing on rail at speed

I thumb up, so I made disappeared the red trottle, red thumb what's for? may be because you keep this 6'10" weapon carving rudders on glassy days , yes this kind of board is definively made for surfing not paddling. Tx JONESY 
Dogman Keep that board, this is better rather than doing your weight watcher 
Update on Tullys Rat project....
It's gone underground into the Sunny Coast drains and cheap Noosa takeaway shops...................."Not"
Tully made a **** load for the Oz market and team crew but a guy from Japan keeps buying them.
Anyway... Tully is shaping a new "Rat" with some crazy improvements, all I can say its sub 6ft, new rails and has a dug out deck!
I'll get some photo's soon.
