here is a piccie of my new weapon
it's 8'6 n very similar to MR.HANKY the brown xmas poo board but with the deck "ice cream scooped out" thus making it around 3inches thick n less under your feet while in a surfing stance
the result is a more responsive feel on the wave
this board "for me and my pie addiction" may have a little bit too much scooped out and as soon as i stop forward momentum its up periscope time and don a scuba tank
only had a few sessions on it in less than perfect waves but cant wait to see what it can do when we get some soon
here is a few waves shot from the drivers seat of my car while it rained cats and dogs over the xmas period
bout time somebody has decent music for their clip,thankyou. seems weird the board but would love to try it. enjoy enjoy enjoy.
nice board mate looks good
hey with all that hard work trying to stay upright you might be 70kgs soon
Nice clip. It's also nice to see that you had a few others in the water....those nice waves with no crowds and bad music used to really get me down.
Great vid , board looks like it has fast acceleration off the bottom , .saw yours before it was glassed looked the gear so i ordered one to in an 8'8, what is the fin setup your running dm.
Nice one Rog..... if you keep digging that foam out on the deck , you might have to back off on the pies.....
yo dudes thanks for the lovely comments
fin setup is simon anderson large sides(before i snapped them with my arse)
now using a 15 year old set of fcs G2 they are huge
with a 6inch fluid foil center pushed as far back as it will go in the box
what fins are everyone using????????? as i'm about to order a few new sets to replace all the ones ive snapped in the last month
by the way ive got into a bad habit of rocking up to the surf and leaving by helmet at home packed in my kitesurfin bag of tricks
hey doggie

iv
ive got black tip fam1 s on the psh 8/6 ripper with a 6 performance center fin they go unreal when there not slicin me open
later
nice looking fins guys
thanks for the tease
hi stevo
the board is 8'6 x 29?????? x 3?????????with the scoop but it would have been 4 1/4 maybe before it was scooped
measurements arent on the board and i havent really put a tape over it yet
it has a really heavy concave on the bottom and the scoop out is concaved as well which brings the thickness of the board under your feet to 3 inches roughly or even less
feels insane
yewwwwww
Hey Dogman, sounds like a good board- width to thickness ratio would make it feel a lot better under foot me thinks :D
