well, the hearts really good now. I'm better than before.
As for Starboard, I've taken a great opportunity to be a part of starboard team and a part of Surffx too.
Do I have change much- no really, kind of like a free style arrangement.
will I be faster- hopefully. will I beat our elite paddlers in our training group- no, but if they have a off day i'll be there
will I enjoy myself paddling, dw ing etc- yes,yes,yes.
Not sure i'm ready to take it to the next level and fight sharks off too
I had a 12'6 sprint ordered already. looking at beau's new all star, starboard are leading the way with bottom designs and that is of great interest to me.
I would like to thank Starboard and Surffx for this opportunity.
Also dc ,dale and co, paul,angie and steve- goldcoastsup and Justin mitchell for all their help to date to with gear
i'll miss sparring with dj
and ptwoody's opinions rule now
cheers
ps.just to let everyone know where i'm at now
We'll good on you Lacey. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.
Well done you.
Was that what you call a pimp.?????
Not sue.
ET.
Congratulations Lacey and good on you for grabbing an opportunity. Thanks for letting us know your new affiliation to.
Ohhhh yours was the only unbiased voice here
Yes this should be a major concern for you in here. Upstairs he has been guilty of showing severe mounts of bias towards his Hot Log manufacturer
Well done LL. So does this mean Starboard are bringing out the Tommy as a new model ?

Wow, never thought I'd see the day Lacey sells out
Good on ya mate!
You'll be well looked after with FX and Starboard backing you.

wouldn't mind trying out one of their short boards Mr Tryfan

and ptwoody's opinions rule now
Congratulations Lacey. They make great boards and the Wind FX guys are a nice team. Have known those guys for over 25 years and they're still around.
....but surely having to agree with PT Woody must really hurt.
What does your end of the deal entail? Any racing?
not a lot really, probably do some more races, wouldn't mind getting over wa for a true dw race- king of the cut.
do stuff around the traps, promo's etc I guess
but generally just keep doing what im doing. it was pretty clear
free styling mostly.
i'm not gun champ or anything by far, but I guess I can relate to the every day paddler as well as read whats on the backs of the elite guys boards before they are just dots on the horizon
its all new to me
From a marketing view. It's important for brands to support "a everyday paddler" "lifestyle paddler" as these type of people are the people who buy the gear so it's handy to have some of these on their teams to give feedback and promote in a different way than like an elite racer with his name at the top of a podium.
Chuck Patterson would have to be the most well known "lifestyle paddler" in sup with naish. Yeah he races and surfs in contests but it's his general hype n involvement and Stoke that promotes naish in such a good way.
It's really positive to see stores and brands putting faith in people other than 20yr old guns as the majority of the sup world is 35+
How's your pearly whites and selfie ability LL ?? Haha

Geez Lacy that's a big move away from the DC boards... Starboard heh? Mmmm ....but a change is as good as a holiday I guess... maybe
Tomy up for grabs for $1500 that's gotta be the buy of the year for someone.
ockanui, my tomy boards were not dc's- very different bottom shapes.
im rapt to be going starby because they are doing the some very good things that I like
andyr, its always harder to get the good money for custom boards, but I can honestly say this one was the fastest best all round down boards I've owned full stop.
very competitive in the flats and a super bump getter. the board is 3/4 carbon. weights about 11 kgs, absolutely no damage ever. very stable at 25" because the design uses every bit of that 25".
surfs a treat too when you need to come in through surf.
Magic.. I would of honestly bought it tomorrow if the boss didn't say no and want the money for a holiday coming up.
My loss
