Fighting weight of around 97 ish..

Yeah i have sent a email Chrispy. I think he must be away or something.
Thanks SP. I couldn't for the life of me find it. Under a Weber bbq thread who would have thought Don't mean to be rude but do we also know Teds weight range
6'6" with 22 inch width i like that idea. I found a 6'6" used in Vic and a new 7' in WA but i think i will wait and speak with the man and get one that way
I also note that yours and Teds boards were slightly beefed up with carbon wrap's and i like that idea as well. I'll just have to try and be patient.
Thanks SP as well for that. She is a brute of a board at 6'6" * 22 * 2 7/8 but it does not seem that big to be honest. I used to have a 6'10" as my big board but never got to surf it to its potential anymore as I do not head out on the really massive days anymore - I just wanted something that had a bit more beef for the days that are bigger than my normal short board likes - I often surf a couple of reefs that are a decent paddle off the beach so I wanted more paddle power. I come in at the 90-95 region depending how many beers I have had. Floats me a piece of cake.
Thanks Ted, yep i had emailed Murry but he was in Indo and i had a chat this morning. I'm 100% decided i like the 6'8" Fat bullet in a normal configuration.
Just need to sneak it past the boss 
so hopefully order this week or next?'
What fins are you running Ted
Time to sell a few of the old boards too, just keep the Fish for Summer and Bullet for Winter paddling blues
@jb, stoked for you mate. im using pc5 and gx1000 rears. goes unreal. have been lent a set off k2.1 to use and that will be happening this week. dont forget to keep us updated with whats going on. if you like and if you can find out off muzza, i can go down and take some pics while its being shaped for you if you like

Got a finished pick sent to me today. Should be here Monday or Tuesday. Can't wait
Oh can't upload from I Phone
Yeah muzz is the man, too easy to deal with. Just ordered 3 boards off him, via email as I'm overseas, and he replied regularly over the course of about 6 emails, refining my last boards of him. Say what you will about computer shapes but its so handy to have a hard record from your previous boards to work off so you're both on the same page. Worth his weight in gold.
Hey JB Shack, what sort of waves are you looking to ride the Fat Bullet in?
Thanks
noice. you are gonna be the happiest kid on the block when you get it out in the water. let me know what you think of the hull. me i love it and am even thinking of putting a hull on a lb for better nose rides
). Will post up some more picks when i get it next week. Maybe with out the BBQ though
Finally its arrived
Just unpacked and sorry no BBQ
Just in time for______ no swell[}:)]
Still to get her out but today was waxing and fitting fins better and i have a question.
The fins are an "Upgraded" version apparently but they don't bottom out completely in the FCS plug. So the fin sits up of the board slightly. Should i just knock a small bit of the tab or leave it alone theirs maybe a mm of clearance under the fins and deck.
If the gap is at the front of the fin try and get it out it will catch weed. Make sure it's your tabs that are to long and not the fin between the tabs which is touching first due to the tail rocker. Just use a file steady steady and all will be good.

Yeah, for some reason I always find that the surf is poor when I have a new board to try out. And if you do go out you end up getting frustrated and it sours the experience...
You are not missing anything today - I rode from Sorrento to Swanbourne and the only thing going on was a couple of 666'ers having 'fun' on a six inch swell in front of Scarb's ampitheatre...
My summer quiver just arrived.
From left: 6'0 RTQ, 5'11" Bottom feeder and a 5'9" RTQ mkII
