eight weeks on my dc 8'8 and happy as a pig in ####. best board so far. speedy, drivey, loose and just the right amount of slide when needed. haven't put the nose under yet. we have a different new design on the pc, but quite happy to surf this sucker for a while. SO NO NEW BOARDS IN PRODUCTION i've been just starting to get into d/wer's and learn't a lot from coffs - longer paddles, improving paddling- more speed and efficiency, and it is dog eat dog- no room for politeness. i have noticed my feel for a wave when surfing is way better and i can only put it down to d/w ing, the way you have to chase ramps/runners or anything i believe improves surfing
cheers
Hey Mark,
Looking at getting a board shaped by DC and was wondering about how the board floats you and what size I can go down to. I am 6'3" 92kgs. Does DC have demo boards? When I get the funds together in the New Year, I will visit his shop for a chat. Any advice would be great.

Hey Lacey,
first time out on the new DC8'8 this morning and was a great test in some solid east
coast vicco open beach break.
Really happy with the stability of the board although I had a 7 and half inch cutaway
centre fin today but hope to drop in size as my balance improves,
also found I can paddle onto waves from way out on the shoulder just like the bigger supb's so didn't lose much here with the shorter board,
with some time off over the next few weeks hope to get plenty of waves on the new board,
Cheers,
Camo.
Nice looking board Camo. I'm sure you are gonna love it.
The waves on the beaches must have had a bit of push... Brendan, my son Will and I had some good waves on the reefs a bit west of where you were. It was a pity Brendan had to get back to work because it was a bit easterly early, but went north and dropped off later in the morning. Will and I ended up having two surfs. After 5 hours of 300 m rides we were totally stuffed. I'm very pleased I took the whole day off!
Yer Rosscoe, it wasn't closing out though so had a fun session,
good it cleaned up for you guys as there was some east in the wind today,
Camo.
