I am rebuilding my Quiver having sold just about everything. With the sand slipping through the hourglass I am attempting to not slide with it by going away from 9ft longboards to smaller boards and challenging myself to get fitter. I also want to keep everything under 8ft as as it fits easy in my car and with an OS trip in mind later this year. Besides, I've done my fair share of 9fters and 666 and while I will probably go back there one day I want to try something different.

So the Munro has unfortunately (fortunate for another Breezer) gone. I have just posted photos of the UF8.

I have been playing around with Firewires (Mac can't give too much **** because I now also have a McTavish). This is a recent addition to the quiver of a 6'5 Firewire "El Feugo". It is a very flat rockered board with lots of volume. The wide point is forward which I think suits my style of surfing. It floats me up to my belly button and is easier than I thought to paddle into waves with. I havent had it out in a really pitching beachy yet and not sure how the flat rocker will go in these conditions. It is very fast as you would expect with the flat rocker and I think waist to head high surf will suit this board best.







There is probably a spot for 1 more board for very small days and full waves (please nobody say "Log"). Any suggestions? bearing in min
d I still want to stay under 8ft. Maybe an 8ball ? I know there are other Firewire boards that would suit that purpose!

Anyhow here is the quiver. The middle board is my young blokes.




Cheers

I just got back from a surf at Winki, and I'm greeted by the wonderful UF8 !! Wow-wee! Looks really skinny and narrow and thin actually. What are the dimensions!?

A modern fish would compliment the flat rocker and outline of your FireWire

If you are looking for a groveller Daneli, I wouldn't say the Minifish is the right board. I have a 5'6 and it does it's best work in bigger stuff or at the very least, clean waves with shape. When conditions goes to sh**s or REAL small, it kinda bogs down. Think the V channels/ massive twin fins need that extra oomph of water flowing through to crank.

SP is on the dot with the Firewire though, seems to be the go to board with everyone for small waves that I know. Mini Simmons also an option?

*And to reply to SP from another thread, it's good to be back, hope you're getting waves from wherever you are mate!

I have 1 PSH left which is a keeper but I only use it when knee high or less for paddling or surfing at places like the Pass when even the loggers have given up.

I'll take you up on that Chrispy. You will have to give me a few weeks as I'm surfng north coast as the moment as my old mum is sick and I am visiting her up that way at every opportunity.

At this stage of my life I refuse to give in and let the shorter boards beat me. Having a young bloke paddling rings around me on a 5'6 helps keep the motivation up.

Hi Weiry, The Firewire paddles alot better than I thought it would. I have had a 702 Addvance, it paddles almost as well as a 9ft longboard. It is a seriously chunky board and was what got me started on going shorter. It turns well but once overhead you really notice the volume. I probably should not have sold it but I wanted to try another model. I haven't surfed a Dominator.

Cheers

90-95 kgs depending on which day of the week

The thing that worries me about eggs is the wild concaves they seem to need to work. I have to reckon there are good ones and ones that are rotten. I'm not good enough to tell which is which.

The Dominator has "about" the same dim"s as the addvance but the Dominator has a different shape.

surferstu...120kgs is getting a bit big for these little things...however the one on the far left is 5'10"x22x2 5/8" which equates to 41.75 litres so your probably looking at 6'1"-6'2".

daneli...all boards go good some go better than others

Daneli,

I can hook you up with one of these on the Sunny coast, as the shaper made templates off this one. looks like it is out side the box I know but it is a VERY fun board.
This one in the pics is a 7' but looks and feels smaller, mate got one also at 5'6" and it went sic also.
Flat, wide Quad good in waves up to solid 4 foot.
