she certainly has some girth to store that 125, and that tail looks delicious. looks like a nice shape

You will be able to fit 7 fin boxes in that tale and couple of dozen built in gopro mounts around the deck.
Maybe this is a good time to break the habit of sharing your bed with your new board till it gets wet.I wouldn,t want to wake up next to that.
I'm getting my first multifin board shortly,starting with just 2 fins .Gerroa here we come,can't wait till summer Jase.

Keeping it simple this time Akim, Just 4 fins and no mounts...You'll love the twin but quads are better I'm lookin forward to sharing some waves with Alex and you next summer, Bring it on.

Never, The 115 is my go to board and a rock solid performer. The 120 is a free ride board for blasting and no good in the waves. The 125 is just to make getting out on the real light days a bit easier but have heaps more performance then a SUP.

I like your thinking Jase. 120 litre wave board should be good fun on those 8-12 (14?) knot days, and turn a whole lot nicer than a sup. Kinda like the idea behind a fish surfboard I guess. What are the specs?

Your right,can't keep it that compact when you have 2 kids . 35 to 120 litres for our quiver.

Fair call. I was just confirming you weren't communicating from some parallel universe.

Nice decoration on board BTW.

This is interesting, at least in that its the same width as my 135L board, despite being much shorter and 10L less. I think we are about the same weight, and I have found my 135L is the sweet spot for light wind sailing. I think the width probably has more to do with it than anything.

Even I would have to admit that's a lot of boards, although of that size range I would be using the 125L most of the time and the 102L only in nuking winds!

with that many boards don't you constantly feel you always have the wrong board with you?

It's a board designed to suit specific conditions and probably will only get used a handful of times per year. It's replacing my SUP at 170L so is going to be quite small and maneuverable compared to that. My 115 is my go to board for anything from 10-20 knots then its the 102 or 95 depending how lazy I feel. My 120 is only 2cm narrower but about 20cm shorter then the new 125 so I guess it will be a tad thicker then my 120 to fit the volume in. At 30L over my weight I think it will be perfect for the light wind cross-off conditions I get at Gerroa quite a bit during summer, It's just about more time on the water for me.
