How different are the dims to the one you were going to order Lacey?


I got a new one this morning too.

Won't say to much but limited edition.
Sure to become a collectable, very happy to have it in the collection.



I'm trying to pass it off as a Valentine's day present for the GF.. She isn't buying it..

Thanks again Ted.

I like the colour mate ...... but I'm BEERFINING you for :-

Section 3 - part c ...... "horrible letterbox with an appalling 1970's Druglord appearance" & Section 3 part d ...... "where's da farken BBQ old chop????"


and also Section 1 part a ...... " clean that farken dirty Mancave will ya champion geez ....."

That will set you back 1 sixpack of full strength beer however know that I discounted the BEERFINE coz it's such a nice stick & it was a dozen frothies initially

first surf today . arvo windy sweep 3,4 to 5 ft.


well firstly its is a good paddler. duck dives for me and come up straight even tho you can feel its a fair amount of board.


paddles in nice and early with control- no sudden late speed surges on take off. very solid .


surfs even, does responded to a pump but it is 7 ft.


surfing it with am2s. feels a bit tight. I might play with a smaller centre fin. I might email mr to see if he has a suggestion. obviously im pretty light for the size of this board. however I don't want to stay to far from my board 'specs'


catch 6 waves and paddled back up no worries passing most.

didn't get any bombs or anything just feeling the board out.

last wave put in 4 good cutbacks from the point to in front of the dog beach area. I have to work it but hey its 7 ft again- thxs the drip


so far seems perfect for the job intended- to get my out there when I would pass normally

Yeah that board looks sic SP. Love to get my hands on one of those one day soon

I can not post any more pics as I have a new laptop and have not yet transferred all the data over - will not be able to do that until Mar 16th as the old place has been packed up. I post a pic of it on instragram a while back from memory. Its 5'11 * 22 * 2 7/8 from memory

Sorry I missed ya this morning SP but I was hoping to be back by 9am from the Storage unit but I failed. I hope you grabbed that other leggie as well.

Congrats. That sounds perfect. Thats how I still feel about my 10 footer every time I paddle it out. No surfing for me this weekend sadly but will make up for it next week. Hope you enjoy the new stick lots n lots LL.

"Johnson, My wave."
You'll enjoy the 7'er. Right time of year for it and all.
Such good boards the flying fish.
Try running it with a smaller centre fin to free up the tail because you've got plenty of rail to use.

Tried a smaller fin . Not bad but a bit too nervous of the top and on rebounds.

Think ill just leave it am2s all round

Its all to to walk up to the ck mouth from home . Paddle up to the point and get waves.

Dont have to about carparks etc.


I thought the swell had backed off but there were a few 6 ft sets coming through

I like how you've actually bought a board in my dims for a change too but I'm not sure how quickly I should get the cash together.

I think I'll duck for cover now.
Either that or go and have a look at the Roy's gun thread.
I just need to get my head in the right space.
Maybe I'll watch some Monty Python sketches first.
