No the best pics, had this for 2 weeks or so, from 1-6ft local beachies. Still getting used to it, but so far, loving it, killer infinity carbon construction, super light, plus flex you can feel, step rails, awesome deck grip, fins and carbon hand grab. I pre ordered from Next level sup, WA, Rory, fantastic to deal with, great service. Happy with my new toy, can't wait to get it dialed in !!??
Perfect complement to my infinity blackfish for down winders and small surf.
Infinitys look so doable.....especially on our coast waves........how wide and how many litres..............maybe wind tomorrow though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......not sup freindly......you sailing off the island or elsewhere
8.5 x 30.5 and 121L.
looking forward the the windy forecast, either Flat Top woopi or sawty island both great southerly wavesailing spot. Even had a wavesail session this arvo ??
Hi nerdburger...i have the exact same one since few months....love it ! The construction is something else...light ..hard as nail but with flex..the deck pad is probably one of the best i saw on the market with F-one ...enjoy!
Such a great board!
There's also a new size this year (and I already sold a coupleof them): 8.2 x 30 (115 L)
Wow, I didn't know about that size, that would be ideal for me as the 109L would probably only work for me if I got down to 85/87 kgs !!
they have quite a pulled in tail and nose - how does this translate in terms of stability eg compared to other 120L boards do you think?
What body weight do you think is appropriate for the new 8'3 for an avg joe?

Im very confortable on the 8'5x30.5 (121 L) with 90 kgs naked ..i actually think to go down to 8.2 x 30 (115 L) as the 121 liters are really stable for me.. , beside the recessed deck create a low rail that sit in the water (sunova style if that make sense) and create in-build stability..
I'm surprised at the stability of the 8'5" 121 litre, I'm 94/96 kgs, I SUP busy waves and 2 river mouths / headlands at my local and have had it out in 15knots plus and super messy conditions no problems at all.
As with anything, it comes down to skills, weight and versatility. It is a wide performance board at 30.5, and the tail isn't pulled in that much in my opinion on this size.
My last board was a 8'6" JP 113 (29 inches width), and was a great all rounder, but struggled a bit with less than ideal conditions.
But my SUP skills have improved when I sold the JP and picked up the 8.5, as I'm been doing heaps of late on my all water race board (infinity blackfish) in all conditions.
I think I could / should SUP the next size down, being the 8'2". Still early days getting used to it, but every session is improving, my back hand turns are good, my front side needs more work dialling in getting more vertical and better rail engagement (dealing with the volume and better foot placement, is needed)
Being a litre more volume than I'm used to it is working for me to surf or sup up to 15/16 knots at my local and then to start wavesailing on my light wind kit (102 JP and Ezzy 5.5) When the wind comes in. ??
Thanks Anchorpoint / Nerdburger - pretty insightful! i reckon the new 115 could a good option. Im also considering a smik hipster, spitfire or JP 8'6....i have the 8'10.
No problems. I've had the JP 8'6", great all round performance short board for the heavier sup'er.
could prob get a 2nd one or even a new one for a good price. The infinity, expensive new. Amazing construction, crazy strong and light. I think the infinity at 115L v jp at 113LWould be more stable, with step rails, slightly larger tail (I think) wider by an inch, would surf pretty close in feeling.
plenty to choose from, great first world problem.??.
Both excellent boards, never ridden a smil though. Best of luck
I have the 8'5 Blurr V2 and I am 100 kg (and 6'3). If I have not been supping a lot, or the conditions are not great, I found it a bit too tippy. I need to lose a few kegs...
But when I had it out I loved it. It is so light and manoeuvrable. It is easy to get your foot on the tail and really surf it.
My challenge is I also have the 8'7 Placid. It adds a few liters but also another inch of width - and you really feel it - there is a significant improvement in stability. So, unless the conditions are quite good, I have been choosing the placid.

Yep, not cheap, but worth it if creates a bigger smile.
just pics bro no info yet should have it by next friday i'm pretty excited about getting it out
8'2x29 101litre
Had the board over a mth now, in a huge range of conditions from 1-8ft, beach and point breaks. Getting it dialled in now. The board is super stable for volume 121 litres, 30.5 inch, and my current 90-95 kg. I don't think it will be long before I'm ready for the 110 L version.
Awesome construction, deck pad and I love the simple surfboard graffix's. Big fan of the blur V2.??

Yeah not sure why so secretive as it's easily found at just a tad over $3200
i hope so i pulled the face then bought a bline anyway i hope i love it
That's a nice looking stick, is it production or custom
they feel solid i was gonna go custom but with the aus dollar at the moment a full carbon build is about 4200 dollars and that was with a guess on shipping not a proper quote
