Does anyone have the 10 footer that they don't ride anymore and want to sell?
None of the shops want to stock them here, as they are too specific?? Can't even get to see one!
Unless I order one, unseen, can't get it. Pretty average actually.
I want a real nose rider, that's not pushing water, like most others advertised.
So searching for a second hand one.

I bought a 9'6" black and blue sight unseen a few years ago and couldn't be happier with it, it has very low rocker and a big concave under the nose with low volume 50/50 rails, this board doesn't push water, if you want a noserider that's surfs like an old school log I doubt you will find anything better, fantastic board if you have a break nearby with some long sliders

Got to agree with riverider, whole lota fun.
When you get up da nose its like stepping on turbo, like suddenly its a different board. I've got the 10'.
Keep looking.

Thanks boys, that's exactly what I want, even my mal log is a 10'2" single fin. Have a few locations for that style of board. Sounds like a birthday present for me!!

Agree with the comment regarding the board hitting overdrive once you are past the white line walking up.

I have one - and actually I wouldn't mind going down to the lower volume one - but.....................I'm in the US so, I'm guessing that would be a bit costly shipping wise.

Thanks Rob, just too many fins and too much rocker. After a log.

Hi Bighugg,
No it doesn't have the nose concave... The Black & Blue comes with the option of either having it or not...Jimmy's preference is without...

Hey Sandsy,
No problem at all.... Happy to order one in the next shipment as I just brought a couple in for customers...

Thanks, still would like to see one in the flesh. Always like to put a board under the arm.
I'm on the central coast, if you have any passing through anytime, would be great to have a look.
Cheers

Newcastle legend & eternal grommet Kev Tomerrup just picked up his custom 9'9' Black & Blue this morning if you want to check it out....Absolutely beautiful old school longboard.... That's what nearly 50 years of surfboard shaping produces...

I find the B&B really hangs into the wave face, whereas the striker slides down if I don't concentrate, but the striker is a great all rounder.
