WOW crappy 1-2ft washing machine with a decent sweep running is what she got today now about the "Bourton Shapes silver bullet" well still to my amazement i liked and found it easier to paddle than my . it does not get the speed of the
but it still had more(way more than the egg)why i liked it more was the ease it paddled through the slop,she just stayed on line and cut through it with ease,oh and to duck dive under a wave again wooo hooooo i was limited to about 6 waves as i was getting dragged down the beach. well it is freaking fast and my first pop to my feet i sorta was like a deer in the headlight feeling,went for a bottom turn and,well it turned way too much and i was off. oh that marvelous sensation of turning. well every wave after i felt so much happier. super stable underfoot,even with the amount of moving water i just felt so sure footed. so now the weekend is looking like some wiked waves with offshores all day and then i can really write some more. yet my way of thinking is if i felt so comfortable in such ****,life is just going to get better for the #1bitch and i oh ted im sure the hull made paddling through the crap help,or it was cause it had a pointy nose

its 40lt my egg was the same. yet the bitch wasnt that real sit high above the water like the egg was, Mr Bourton seems to have given me exactly what i wanted, a wiked paddler(didnt want to suffer shock by going down so much in size) yet is a shorty. im already thinking i could go a bit thinner and shorter after today,well not for a while yet. as i said to the girl before,this one is a keeper hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah, he hides the volume well, I didn't think it would be 40, I'd have guessed 35 ish, I saw an older bloke with a few at Easter and he was getting heaps of waves and surfing good. Had a hot daughter too now that I think about it.. Think they may have been fat bullets but not 100%, was more looking at his daughter

But very nice boards, hopefully we'll have shots of Teds soon 2.. If your both at Plommer you'll have to get side by side shots on a BbQ.

Nice work Chrispy - glad you enjoying the new weapon - nothing better than the joy of a new stick under your arm as you head down the sand......the sense of anticipation of how she will perform for ya.

Nice mate, nice!

Make sure you try some even sized fins in it also. I have ridden many of Murrays quads and settled on a M3 size all round front and rear. For super drive use sides in both front and back, 4 x side fins!! For a more neutral feel try 2 x center m3 with m3 sides in front. It felt more even and less pivotal from the bigger fronts to me that way.


sweet mate. i will pop around to yours and pick up all these fins to try. your the best cmc


Mate, I probably have something here. It'd be worth it to hear some of your stories. You bring the beer! Hahaha
