9'1 x 22 1/2 x 2 3/4 - holding a fair amount of meat into the rails so pretty chunky for its dimensions. Fairly pronounced single into V bottom and diamond tail. Based on my fave MSJ longboard but with a fuller rail and considerably less rocker. Fins are: 6.5 dolphin centre with M3 sides.

Sorry about sh#t photos.

really nice graphic, very unusual.

Is that all sold pigment or could you see a stringer if the pic was better?

Hi mate - all pigment. If you look very hard you can make out the stringer tho. I had planned on a custom but put this one under my arm and it just felt perfect - figured it was crazy to go the custom when this "just felt right" - and I loved the unusual colour scheme.

Nice. Yes, you see a little bit of stringer in there. Heavy pigments though.

I would guess the "heavy pigment resin" looks like paint in liquid form, as opposed to "tint resin" looking like coloured water... ??

Nice board BB. It saves you a bit of time when you find something you really like off the rack. All that pigment threw me on first sight I thought it was a tufflite.
Now all you have to do is try it out.

I am still waiting to try the 8' - had skin cancer cut outta my back 2wks ago so not really allowed to prone paddle for another week or so. Very tempted tho to have a little paddle on the longy.

Hate to admit this, but got the 8.0 wet for the first time this morning. We searched the entire southern goldy and could not find a bloody wave anywhere so we ended up paddling out at the alley with 5000 others and a cracking 1/2ft swell on offer
Scotty on a sup, Tom on a 9.3 - and me on a goddamn 8ft minimal - I could not have been on a more inappropriate board for the alley - especially a half a foot alley !
However - I managed to jag about 6 or 7 little peelers through into laceys (ok I may have burnt tom on half of those) and actually had a little bit of fun. Even got some sweet trim time on 3 of the better ones - very very suprised considering the board has quite small thruster fins on it. Jeez if I can get that many waves on an almost unsurfable wave I cannot wait to get it into some real surf - its gunna be so easy to take every wave off tom then I have to say I have copped a bit of flack for putting so much meat in a board for someone my weight but it doesn't feel at all chunky or cumbersone in the water and it paddles as well as any standard 9fter I have ridden - I have come to the conclusion that foam is your friend

Not enough work coming in to pay rent mate so 3wks rent is more important than 3 metres of foam at the moment - hanging onto the 8' tho (at this stage) worst thing is I am gunna have to borrow a mal for woolgoolga comp' - entries and accom' paid so gotta go.

Hey Billboard, if you are on the Goldy please call us (or send a PM) to see if we can help sell your board in store for you and maybe help you with a spare mal to take to Woolgoolga.
We can't have you blousing out of a trip with those other 'breezers because of no board or money. - Mark
