Just been thinking, with the new board being an all rounder is there a need/want to have a log style board?
I've got the 10' redline but can't help thinking I'd like a more traditional style log for those smaller glassy days.
So who's got one & what do you think of them?
I think it's possible to get a good allrounder that will cover all your needs - depending on what type of surfer you are of course. I personally dont really surf hard enough or traditionally enough to need an h/p and a log/cruiser and as such I find that my 9.3 Donald Takayama Tuflite In The Pink Longboard is more than suitable for my needs to cover every condition I encounter from 1ft to overhead surf. (suits my needs - and not suggesting it would suit anybody else)
I would suggest that for a better and more versatile surfer though that they get themselves a high performance board like a Mctavish ufo of similar and perhaps a 9.6 to 10.0 Mctavish Noosa 66 or other similar outstanding classic Mctavish longboard.
Hi Vanders, funny you bring this up. I have been thinking the same thing and only this morning was talking to Mr Munro about a 9'4 X 23 X 3 log with a big hatchet fin. I have put the 9'3 SUP up for sale and can't decide between a log and a longboard style SUP.
No, but logs are cool! But having said that, somehow I have never ridden a true old school softer railed traditional Malibu!
But of I slotted an extra longboard into the big quiver, it would be a Redline. Versatile log...
Doggie & Mac,
What were your thoughts on the 8'6 Burnt Orange Involvement??
Also, was it "orangey red", "burnt orange", or "orange"?

I rcon everyone should have an old school log.
I'm thinking 9'8" full hulled bottom, soft rails, single fin.
It's on the list with a new performance Mal, and a hull/bonzer/single fin thing.
Yesterday suited my redline, today suited the fireball and tomorrow may suit the ufo.
Is it possible to have the one board for all,yes and I think vanders has that special board.
Mac i think there is one board for all eg Fireball but i am waiting for my new board and i will confirm.
