Why you selling low pressure?


No not selling LOW PRESSURE Carbs79 I really like that board, she's a magic board. I just put it on there incase somebody is looking for an Unlimited Downwind Board, I would make them a Brand New One, from 15ft to 18ft 24" to 28" inches wide, as your not allowed to sell New boards on that site (just thinking outside the box) got nothing to loose.


Phil, if you weren't upside down on the othe side of the planet from me, I'd be all over a LP... I guess I'll have to settle on some low Pressure boardies as soon as you find the time to market them.. I'll take a orange/yellow camo pair please...

Got Goran who's one of the best Vintage Surfboard Restores and dig repairers on the Gold Coast to make me a weed fin for LOW PRESSURE for the Doctor & KOTC Race this December. The weed in WA is just a punishing it coast me big time at the KOTC race last year, so I'm hoping this weed fin does the job.
Thanks Goran you da man.

LOW PRESSURE is wrapped in cardboard and ready to be transported this weekend to WA's KOTC race.
Looking forward to hanging out with Luke Jenkins and the rest of the WA crew, so keen to test LOW PRESSURE on the City Beach run with Stimo and gang.
And frothing for the Mandurah Run Downwinder.

hahaha,Thanks Tardy

I showed Mark Raaphorst & Andres Martinez for SIC my Low Pressure Board. They where very impressed with the Nose of the Board on how it realises/disperses the water when you bury the board in the troth on a runner and how I used the Clubbie Ski Rudder System

Wow I haven't paddled Low Pressure since like the KOTC in Western Australia 6 months ago.
Conditions haven't been any good for Downwind Paddling.
But the waves have been just Pumping for surfing the last 6 months I've been getting surfed out "Life Is Good"

I haven't done much SUP training Paddling in the flat, flat water paddling bores the s@#t out of me.
I'm off to Maui in a few weeks to Paddle Maliko all day it's my Downwind Addiction I love it - can't wait already.

So I thought I'd better start training and the quickest way to get fit is to do 10 x 1000's sprint.
if done correctly this s@#t will work you, you'll be hurting and gasping for oxygen, the whole training session.

To train smart is to train with a Garmin Watch, or you're just pis@ing into the wind.

I was more than happy with my time as I haven't done 10 x 1000's on Low Pressure for like 12 months already.

Once I minus the one minutes rest at each end it worked out for 10 kilometres it took me 61 minutes 59 seconds I'm a 55yo Old Man so thats fast for me - but slow compered to the young weapons, they would have smashed me by more that 5 minutes.

Good post Phil.
Have fun over there (sob...sob...)
The 10 x 1 km is one that we don't do down here.
BTW we get conditions like your photo ALL the time!

Looks great!

Is the board 100g Fibreglass, 150g Double Bias Carbon with 100g Carbon uni's on the rails?

Can you PM me as to where you got the double bias carbon from?

Keep the pictures coming!


Hey, Colan Australia may have some;
