Bit late & a bit bleary but I've been celebrating the imminent arrival of the new "baby". I needed an excuse for a couple of beers this arvo (well not really). Here's some early pics. Oi Androomac, if you view this, the board in the background is, I believe, your mates Steve's board, looks good. Not sorry about the pics, I take crap pics on my phone. Hey Crispy, new fridge door, Beautiful plumage don't ya think! Green & purple.
congrats uncle thirsty. Always exciting when a new sled is near.
Is there going to be a fin box in there or you are just getting it as a quad?
Ted, yep big arse to float my big arse
Chrispy, yes 10" (iirc) is going in, give me all possible fin options + fin positioning up & back.
Grant seems to be doing a lot of SubX's . I'd have one if I could jump to my feet properly. I'd go the quad and box set up I reckon.
Androo, yeah give 'cake a rev up I'd love to hear a young fellers thoughts on the Subbie (maybe!).
What's ya mate do with 40 boards!! Jeez I've got 5 & I do my head in trying to decide which one to ride.
SMH, yep from my experience the quad + box is "the go".
I've mainly ridden mine as a quad with large A. Simons, B. MR twinnies up front & glass sidebites as rears. C. Harly Inglby quad set. D. Single fin & sidebites & sometimes with a nubster in quad mode. E. Sunny Garcia large thruster set.
Got that right there Chrispy. Did I mention the couple of sets of glassflex M7 & 5's, those & the above are in FCS1 & I've also got couple a sets of FCS2'S. Do you think I've got it covered? & yeah I get confused easily these days. Also got a set of redx fins from a McT carver I had, gotta sell them though.
Oh man, always the hard questions!. These have great sentimental value SP, so after a lengthy internal debate (2 sec) I couldn't see myself letting them go, for anything less than a SLAB (that's a carton of beer for the initiated).
Speaking of Millers. I've snaffled this yum yum yellow 6'11" v-skate. It just needs a ride from Daisy hill (near Springwood) to the Sunshine coast if anyone's passing through.
Finished product...Hmm now what fins for the maiden surf. And YES surf prediction is 1' & prob onshore, thankyou Huey for the "new board" hoodoo. damm!!
Haters gonna hate me for saying this, but I can handle if the boards 8 foot but not under,am I in the wrong forum,if soplease guide me too the longboard forum.
Cuttle, yeah going the "I'll try that design again" route can be interesting especially when buying boards off ebay that you can't get your mitts on & feel up first particularly when they've been shaped for someone else who prob had different surfing level than you & who surfs different breaks. I've tried it a couple of times & been surprised as well as disappointed, but if didn't cost me anything as I bludged the boards, currently got a (mates) McT (8'1") carver I had 8/9 yrs ago & at the time time I loved it but now...mmm dunno, used to riding diff shapes & lengths I suppose. This board is pristine its been in a rack most of its life & hardly surfed.
Macca..does volume settle the nerves. I reckon this subbie would have the same volume as some longboards. (C'mon give us a smile!!)
