It's 'Stinger' season up here in the Top End...
To say I'm psyched is a monumental understatement. Dylan and the crew at Sunova have crafted a stunning 14' beast for me.
I've been grinning like a panda in a bamboo plantation all arvo - so stoked!!!
Yep - cheers fellas - I'm as toey as a Roman sandal to get the big girl in the water!!!
Yeeeeeeewww!!!!
What's your ETA to Bali on that rocket ... ?
Man , you going to fly . Looks like a point break on steroids.

Now you need to fess up with the design brief and the specs.
Those Nightcliff outer bombies won't stand a chance.
Or are you chasing Cullen bay Ferry wakes for a surf to Mandura and back

Mate - you should know the colour - I asked Dylan for 'Creek Green' - he was all over it!
I reckon it looks filth - and I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof to get it in to my grubby little paws.

Have written extended stop over on the calendar for early next year break
So you'll have all the choice spots sussed
I remember us discussing the Point Break and how it would work up there, you'll get good mileage out of Search in off season.
Agree with Tardy on long haul standard sides drag , your Cdrive as sides will have less drag .
Enjoy
Classic BigH! That's great news!
No dramas man - we'll definitely make sure we snag some top end waves for sure ( remember to pack the booties and skins for box jelly protection)!
Cheers for the tip on the sides - soundz like the big centre is the goods on the big sticks eh.
I'm fairdinkum that keen to get her out in the waves and stomp the back foot on the big bugger.
Full old-skool drop-knee carves a la Midget (or Casso) on a massive board - hell yeah!!!
I was tellin' a few of the local lads about the new stick and they were laughin' - reckon I'll have to tell them when I'm gonna start turning for a wave to give them enough time to get out of the way. Reckon I might need a loud haler on board - "get out of the way!!! Comin through!!!!" Aaaaaaargghhh!!!
So expectant young fella,
whats your due date ?
We coming through 21st this month
Sick BigH!!!
The Stinger's not due til late Oct/early November - I'm frothier than a 21st birthday party at the Carlton United brewery at the mo'.
Got down the beach this morn' - some sweet little runners.I've got the Style and the Flow here mate - so we'll definitely be able to hook in to a few Rapid Creek nuggets when you're here.
I'll be headin' down home to the Mornington Peninsh for the Merry festive holidays - you gonna be around that time of year???
just a 14' teaser to get your engine revved
STC~!!! You're the OG core-lord man!!! you're all over it !!!
Dude - that's EXACTLY the sort of conditions we get here in Darwin throughout the Dry Season - super clean runners, just asking to be lazily carved up on 14 feet of schralping goodness.
Mate - I'm like a kid on Christmas eve- fairdinkum I'm that excited. my girlfriend reckons I've got the thousand yard stare going - like I've just seen a UFO - only permanently! Having trouble concentrating for any length of time over 5 minutes.
Keep rippin' STC -
UP the Search!!!

Nice cross stepping there Ricko.
that board can catch anything ....sea ..ick .Rick ...makes a day where you'd sit out ,fun ,and it turns ..
The eagle has landed. Check it.
Scott and the crew at SurfFX have just wired through some pics of the new stick.
Fair dinkum - these blokes have been legendary getting everything sorted and answering my million emails - can't recommend 'em highly enough - I've got no affiliation - just acknowledging decent work.
I'm frothier than a snail that's been chewin' snail bait - deadset - I'm gonna have to go for a walk to calm meself down.
Just gotta be patient now til the big girl makes her way up north.
