Yes, you stole perhaps our best player! We're still going well though. To be honest, I was getting a bit over both Bomber (Coach) and Ablett last year. They were both so grumpy with each other!
My board DID ARRIVE, at 10:20am yesterday (Friday), but nobody was home, and they didn't call me either.... 
Saw a consignment note this afternoon in the letterbox ! So it's coming back like a boomerang on Tuesday now.
So it would have been available for the weekend afterall !!
All good things come to those who wait ! 
I received an email saying my board could be ready end of last week so I called the store and was told it will be there Friday.
There is a new movement going on around the points a lot of young guys well 20 + wearing the old short sleeve button shirt in the water,this strange creature also rides logs,most with D fin,they also have longish hair,anyone know the tribe name
Is there a tribe name Mc, or was that a rhetoric one (the question)?
".com.au", our Torquay Geelong Cats visit your sunny Freemantle shores next week too !! Go Cats !!
I was chatting to a mate who is younger and more in the know than me today.
I mentioned the new logger crew increasing in numbers and he said its only the start of the new tribe and will fill me in next week when I pick up the new board.
He will also take delivery of a 9.4 Redline custom in black,pink and sky blue tint,I'll get a pic of that one.
Lions are on soon,be interesting how they go this year.I don't know if they recruited much,I don't really follow AFL,one of my best mates was a legend and that kind of got me going to a few home games in his day.
and you could win some gear
YES YES YES,everyone needs a log,just spent three days in Noosa and without a log it would have been a disappointing time.
First couple of days were small but super fun trimming down the line on my log,it got a little bigger yesterday arvo and swapped boards to HP and within 20 mins I was back on the log trimming and really having a great time.
OH logs are fun
sorry no photos
That Tyler must have cost a packet. You must have it by now fester. How does she go ?
Never tried a soft railed mal (is that what you mean by a log?) but I'm thoroughly infatuated with my 9'6" Redline.
Full of surprises and hot hot hot
Speaking of redline's I got talking with a bloke the other day down at Snapper during the week who had a redline & he told me he now uses his 9'6 redline as his everyday board, telling me he's surfed it all around Bali & it's reef breaks, taken it to Hawaii & said it's done it all, he said he could have used a little more speed at times but generally he rated it as a great all rounder.
I watched him from the hill at GM & he could certainly back up what he was saying, saw him get 3 tubes & he was throwing it around like it was a performance board, great to watch & gave me a new perspective on what you can do if you spend the time learning & committing to one board.
I saw another bloke paddling out on a Noosa 66 & he was also shreading it up, I would have never thought of taking such a board out in those conditions but these blokes had the skill to back it up.
Now seriously thinking of trading my 10' redline on a shorter version.
The Redline definately seems to be a more versatile board that will handle bigger waves. I wouldnt mind having a go on one.
Very nice work Lfish,looks like you but some hours into this one.
Triple stringer D hand made fin and tail block,wow awesome.
Yes she's a beauty, do you reckon you saved your best till last?
Or are were there others that are as good as this one?
That's a beauty Lil
On the redline front I think half the reason they go so well is that harder rail down the back near the fin. Looking towards the next longboard thinking single fin but want the hard rail aft for the local beach breaks I max out at around 9'8" because that's the upper limit of Virgin Blue Virgin Australia (better check all they changed is the bloody name) I think 9'6' - 9'7" is as big as I'll go currently.
The maximum 9'8" on Virgin is a coincidence, on friday I was down at Dripping Wet in Manly and I mentioned to Andrew how I was tempted to buy a pig board.
He said he had something similar that was a bit unusual, it turned out to be a Waxa, the only place I have ever seen them has been up at the sugarmill in Narrabeen.
It was 9'8" x 23.5 and although it was too parallel on the rail to be a pig, it was pulled in very sharply on the tail.
Looked to be a really strong board with wheat looked to be 3 cedar stringers and a volane glass job with an interesting green resin tint swirl on the bottom.
so - did you buy it?
Was eyeing a bing this afternoon single fin hard rail down the back
