Well, I returned from Melbourne late last night to find this on my door step.
I know I know it's just a fin.... but its more than that to me.. Its an indicator for the fact that in under a week and a half I could be getting wet on a great big red log with a spunky looking black fin underneath 
I have often missed the fun times I had in my teens and twenties with mates and now look forward to recapturing some of that and regaining a bit of work life balance. Also keen to explore NSW over the six months or so I have left here
I thought my 9'6" was long, but its a short board compared to that monster. I love it. Would love to take one for a test drive. At least you will get fit running up to the nose and back.
Lol. Being delivered on wednesday 
Took a while finding a board bag for it but balin had custom built one for another customer who got board measurements wrong. Looking forward to using it over xmas.

Cool fin for a cool log 
,Enjoy Herbie
Let us know how it handles in the wet. Would be cool to have a board that big. A guy in Newcastle rides a 14 foot SUP, in the surf. Now that is a sight.
It looks like a pretty new board too.

I don't think you'll be too worried about the sore throat when you see this board tomorrow.

Ha Ha...
Thought one... **** it really is red . Then holy crap its beautiful. I should put it on a wall (wait don't have one big enough...)
Then
- Hmm it is kinda heavy, I will kill someone with this
- Crap - it doesn't fit in the bag (oh well close enough)
- Man I can't wait to get this thing in the water... Gonna need more wax
- I wonder how far I can carry this along Crescent Head beach so I am away from people and don't kill anyone
- Well it is red so no one will see the blood from any victims
- OMG, I may need to go and have a quiet "moment" to myself
they were my first thoughts....
Haha funny post, the board looks amazing oh grass is in top condition also 10 points from me
