Morning lads,
I have just come off 2 week Psych placement in a major Queensland hospital and spent 3 days in the emergency psych centre YI YI YI the things I saw sad, tragic,funny bizarre geez you queenslanders are a nutty bunch all I can say is hold your family close, if your worried about someones mental health talk to them dont put it off and dont do drugs I was amazed at the amount of young teenagers coming in with psychosis after just having a couple of joints


We hear ya boofy got one family that got an op for a brain tumor which was benine ,you think great but they don't tell you your not out of the woods , seeing some nutty stuff two years on

Got a few fun ones this morning...666 got a bit stroppy with me sharing "his" waves after he continually paddled inside of me. But then a friend on a 666 came out & he sat inside of him & we shared waves instead lol

Sold my 2'nd board I was selling & have ordered my new board. Stoked they sold so quick I'll be able to get used to my new board before taking it to Bali in 7 weeks

Dims are 6'4 x 21 3/4 x 2 3/4 (Volume 40L)

Its got a really wide tail & pushed in nose. Heaps of volume so there'll be less
of a shock to the system between the LB & SB
Think my LB has probably got about 60-65L volume

Yes the tail & the nose...its very similar in outline to
one of those Hypto Krypto boards by Hayden shapes.

Only this board is going to be PU. I had my first epoxy last year & I think it was too stiff. Fine if your surfing smooth seas, but WA..even when its offshore, is often still bumpy from an unsettled ocean. I blame it for injuring the soft tissue in my ankle which has come good after a summer on my PU longboard.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how it paddles. Ordered some quads (fins), deck grip, new leggie & a 6'6 fish shaped board bag this arvo too...now just gotta try & remain patient

Thats the tracker isnt it? That vid just inspired me to dust off the old delta designs single fin i have and take it for a session. I had a year back in around 2004 when I rode only the single. Very addictive feeling riding one, but been riding quads and thrusters for the last 5years or so. Bring back the single!! (Now just need some swell )

Swell would be good, meant to be 1.6m today but nothing happening down my way...maybe Monday if we're lucky.

haha you should wash the dust off with a few waves mate, I almost bought a HB single fin new for $500. But I read somewhere the glass jobs dodgy & got a real good deal & a board on the way. Vids like this make me feel like getting out there on an old vintage shape too. I'm not sure if this is a tracker, I don't know a lot about tracker boards. Whatever it is, he sure knows how to ride it eh
