well here ya go you animals
my latest stick
dont exactly know the dimentions as tully just went with what he thought might float my human pie eating machine
i can only compare it to my ye old 9'3 x 29 1/2 and so it is about 1 1/2 inchs shorter in length and the same 1 1/2 inches narrower so 9'1? x 28"
and has alot less litres in the float department which has made it interesting with the 20 to 25 knt southerlys that ive had it out in lately
lacey
it has the wide point pulled back past the middle of the board which makes for a wide tail and a nice rail curve exiting into a diamond tail which is thinned out heavily in thickness and has a very aggressive looking single into heavy double concave bottom with plenty of rocker
when i first laid eyes on the tail my first impression was what the f@ck is that thing
tully had said would i mind if he could throw one on it as he was keen to see if it would drive hard but yet be loose so i went with it
casso
it sort of looks and feels like the 9'6 pilot oxbow with its rolled deck and diamond tail (but not)
first few surfs were in solid 4 to 5 ft wally rights strong wind with semi clean faces
after a couple of wobbly moments the board came to life and was so fast from rail to rail.....lol........after messing around with the back fin placement in the box i came to the conclusion
that for me in waves over 3 ft i was pushing the fin as far back as it would go and it would drive hard
cant wait to get it in some clean open faces and throw it on a rail
and under 3 ft like on the vid i had it about half way in the box which made it super loose for me (which im not a big fan of the "slip and slide" hooooharrrrrr)
cant say to much more other than im stoked that the board is performing well and hasnt fallen to pieces yet
im now swimming in a puddle of drool and spit so while i get a mop and bucket to clean myself up check out a few piccies of THE GREEN HORNET and my grommet sabian "the god of rock"

ahh S###. i've just changed my mind after having a go on the naish 8'4 and was going to pull the newie in the after mid rail and tail area. now i'm confused. quick rail to rail hey. somebody donate some money so i can one of each please
still see your riding the middle shoulder
nah, just kidding- looks good. i reckon you will break the 9' mark easy if you make a huge commitment to just 25 pies/day
cheers and all
Very nice Doggie. You'll be dangerous at Noosa on that thing. I hope you are on the other side of the draw from me.
interested to see your using the simon a fins my favorites have you tried any thing else.cant wait for noosa
Love it Dogman! I am guessing Tully hasn't changed the rocker too much, I notice he has sort of 'shortened' the nose in the last few inches to keep some area up there.
I just did this in photoshop (cause I have no life) to compare the two (although this is my first one with the wider tail.
Hey Lacey def pull the tail in for quicker rail to rail and riding hollow stuff - I reckon.
hey doggie, nice looking board when are you heading up this way next??? we may have to do a road trip soon?????
Mate, since you had SO MANY days riding the Naish.
Care to comment how the 2 boards compare-differences and similarities?
Tail is similar to the 903 PSH.
Cool board Dogman! Just out of interest how much do you weigh and what thickness is the board at a guess? Cheers.
A quick heads up,
At Noosa today,sand has filled in the bay of Johnsons and First Point.Its breaking out in the middle in front of the Surf Club then filling up to nothing.
If no big swell turns up to move things around probably think about alternate venue,River Mouth.
Unreal board and great Vid.
Nice looking board Dog now your not being fair dinkum on the pie eating unless you between 105 -110 kegs
haha scotty
