Plus beers on the chill for tonight's AFL match.... Our Mighty Geelong Cats v's Collingwood Magpies.
Plus, my old McT Original should find a new home this afternoon...
Yes, I'm a big fan on redwood / cedar stringers. By big 9'0 Gun has 1/2 inch redwood.
Uploaded pics..... 10 all up.....
Glass is 6/4/6. Buffed finish on the sanded coat, without adding the weight of Finish Gloss Coat.
Sh-t hot Simondo,looks the goods
Got your message,yes we do send me a PM with email so I can send some photos
I love those G-XQ rear fins, best rear sets ever imo Dont hold this against me but I use the Sunny Garcia side fins in my quad, its the best set Ive found so far in quads
Doggie - I use the full size Merricks, not too different Sunny's.
Mac - I will send you and email
BP - yep, loads of plugs !
Ocean Blue - Enjoy my old board
Pete - yes
Boards like this are slightly cheating.... I get on early, as they paddle really well... I the young kids on the inside make no mistakes as to weather I'm going or not ! Performance cruisers for upper middle weight surfers (high 80's to 90 - big difference to those 75kg surfers... isn't BB 65kg?).
cRAZY, this one has a log in the middle of it ! Pure cedar. One of my favorites, when the swell is up. Pic was taken before it was waxed...
Man that's a sweet gun.
Family runs a small (and I mean small) lumber mill at home on one of the gulf islands (Pender - Sth Islnd), log fir, maple and cedar. I miss having access to good cheep lumber, and my dad work shop.
My First longboard had a 3/8" Cedar stringer - I snapped it. So bummed that day
Yeah, bring it on !! A few pics from a small mill would be pretty cool, plus the surrounds... I'll look it up on Google Earth tomorrow. Footy tonight (Go Cats!).
Mac, Just lighting up the room for a night!
Pete, yes the gun is a wet dream. I will give you that! I laughed!
In general, tonight was a pisser! The wife was away in Sydney on a girls night out, and I got to share the living room with my dog and my new board, after I had another opportunity to persuade my 23 month old son over towards the dark side / surfing... not that he needs too much persuasion!
Mac, The Ocean Blue deal with Pat went through! But Pat, please post revised photos !
Recent archives... not sure what Hollywood Matteo was up to here...
Your dog is also thinking what da is this little tacker doing now
My wife was in Sydney yesterday as well,what no good places in Melbourne
Hmm how did your team get on last night,mine played poorly and lost
edit - I see they won,the writers are calling a classic match.
As petemc said you sure do have some nice boards.
Drowning you with photos !!
Some little runners at Fisho's today... I didn't bother. Everywhere else was best described as a washing machine....
Your not the only guys with new boards,I took my new 6 out for the first time today and it goes unreal.
6 as in,6 inch fin haha,want to change the way your board performs,whack a new fin set up
Did you get a few good waves too Pat / Ocean Blue?
Fisho's was pretty average for most of the day.
Here's a wild life tour company, with the sorts of things you can see around South Pender Island. where cRAZY's folks are. Pretty scenic! Looks like a nice place for a touring Stand Up Paddle Board too!

Yeah I did get a few nice ones - not as many as I would have liked though. Feeling a little sore in the shoulders as it was a struggle to hold position in the wind.
Ocean Blue, those sorts of days are good training.... holding position with wing and current.... increases your paddling strength.
