just for something to chin wag about- what board are you drooling over?
and for a change in scenery- surf sups
cheers
Giving serious thought about going back to a C4 9.3 subvector. For some reason I keep going back to old boards I have previously owned, rather than going forward. I think thats why I love my old keeper (the 9x30 starby) - the more I try newer models, the more I like the older models. It's good that some companies are continuing the older models with minor tweaks in colours/fins/handles etc. As you know LL I have owned/ridden LOTS of sups and some of the best I have ridden are the old starbys, older c4s and boards like your old woody 9.3.
Im looking at the 9'11" psh ripper or a 10'lsd carver.Ive seen the ripper in the flesh and she looks pretty hot,Im yet to have a look at the lsd but I will before I make a desicion.Theres so much variety around that its bloody hard to make up my mind one week Im frothing over one design and the next week Im drooling over sompthing else.I also want to get sompthing around the 12' mark but first things first.
Already on order. 8'11 Bamboo sandwich custom Dan McDonald Shapes. Strength of composite sandwich, joy of custom. Beautiful.
Board I'm drooling over - well I sold a PSH 9'2" all arounder and can't help thinking how fun it was and how much I want it back, but I recently had a go on Dogman's red and orange Lagna Bay 8"6" with scooped deck, thinnned down nose and tail and virtually no swing weight. It turned like nothing I've ridden before.
I'm now hanging out for my new custom board from Tully with the trendy resin bleed glass job

LSD 8'8 maybe, like the shape but not sure if I am happy to drop to 110L
Love the look of the DTM boards, nice thin rails and great shape.
And Dogmans boards from Tully...
Yep I'll have one of each, now how do I convince the missus that my boards mysteriously multiplied.
That new one of yours looks good Laceys. Think I might put one of those on my wish list....
Bit off topic but the idea of boards always gets me thinking of a custom board designed by the individual with insight and help from a profesional shaper, definately on my bucket list when I can afford to make one.
On topic the shapes of the DTM's, Laguna Bays and the DC's (does Dale still make surf SUP's) look awesome to me around the 9' mark. Support the local industry for the future is where I'd like my dollars to go.
for the moment
i want to get a new dtm soon, as i'm on a 9'11,172L dtm at the moment and it shreds, maybe something a little smaller, now i just need some $$$$

Naish 12'6 javelin or Fanatic 12'6.
Need to demo to see how they stack up against each other.
Being new to SUP, with current limited resources I am currently looking for second handies. A surf SUP in the 9'6 to 10' range that will float 93kg ie Coreban Icon or Simon Anderson Carrier etc (proving difficult)
