Given I don't nose ride, do I really need a mal nose?

He doesn't like trees birds or grass. Believes in bulldozers, lawnmowers and shotguns. Good bloke. :D

I should add that he is a lone father with a 32 year old disabled son, and is NEVER still in his support of his son. Worked his way into a teachers aide job from a concerned father/fitter, and hasn't looked back No time to. A VERY good man!

Same here. PP is Noreast but with Noreast swell. Newy is generalised crap.

Thanks a real nice board, and yes if you don't want tip time why have a mal nose that gets in the way..
I love the Mexican blanket Is that a double concave about 2 foot back from the nose running the length of the board
And your neighbour has nice edges, a clipped lawn..AND a man shed..I like all that.

Thanks SB. Yes it is a soft V all the way through, increasing towards the tail, with double concaves starting about 1 foot from the nose. The concaves don't extend to the rail, leaving 2 ? inches of relief along the forward rail to prevent catching. Seems to work. Makes the board fast as well as soft and responsive.

I like the colour job. Reminds me a bit of Mac's old boards that had tiger stripes.

I don't nose ride either.

Hi! I had the same thought after watching the finals at the 2019 Vicco Logger Title in 2019. I figured there wasn't much use having all that nose if I couldn't use it like all 4 young fellas did in the final. Xmas 2018 I had a conversation with an old mate who lives up near Coffs and he showed me an 'Anti Mal' that he rode out at a Pointbreak that shall remain nameless. So late last year, I sold my Ryan Engle Sprout model log and I now have had a Christenson C Bucket for about 3 months built under license through Onboard. It is basically a stretched mid length that is meant to behave like a 'mini glider'; 9'6" x 23" x 3". It has become a favourite board; it surfs much smaller than it is, it paddles onto almost anything, it glides beautifully, loves stiff offshore breezes, works really well on our small, weak local SA waves though when the waves get up around 3' she steps up beautifully. I still move up and down the board (clumsily) to trim but it makes beautiful lines. I haven't missed the log at all.

I've basically evolved onto Longboards due to age, fitness, good life ness ..but not really into,(or any good at) walking up to the front..reckon this thing would be amazing, a pointy nose for long boarders..The Pipedream 'Anti Mal'...(9' x 22" x 3 1/8" = 64ltrs)

Those Pipedreams are not amazing,they go OK in grunty waves but in weak waves I use mine as a TWIN fin only.Frees it up,I didn't like the quad experience and thrusters are for kids.One thing about them is they are STRONG.
