Looks nice Chrispy. You'll be channelling Terry Fitzs style with spreed runs and soul arches all over the Gold Coast.
Dare we ask what fin you're running?
More photos
Used a shapers 9" bender today....was good...a bit of cut lap
Thats a lovely looking board Chrispy. Nice work SDR. Is that a fabric inlay ? What is happening on the bottom - sinlge into double? Flat with fee through the tail? Show us spoke pics of your rails as well.
Jeepers I do not ask for much do i? 
got a few in at the alley late. very full and everyone is jammed up next to the rocks. few guys over the falls as the waves jack up.
pretty hectic on a 9'8 long board out there.
lucky for me i'm the owner of clearwater hotlog and not some other long board
me and a mate went in at the local right hand point very late and scored a sack full of waves with just one other LB out and not a single shorty.
I was having a ball until i got a bit ambitious and tried a fast snap on my forehand, then my lack of ability caught up with me and I somehow managed to stall so fast, my upper body just kept going forward and I was just balancing tippy toe on my front foot with my right foot about 2 feet off the tail.
I didn't wipeout, but I did stretch something really badly at the back of my left upper leg, maybe my hammy. f#*k it hurt, got out a couple of waves later. 
But it was well worth the pain to get some reasonably clean uncrowded waves.

A place not too.far away....was pumping. The 7'5 single fin did its job better than expected. Does not like a late sucky take off....so rider fault there for not being in position and not paddling hard enough
No chance to.turn today,but some days you don't need too...the single fin bottom turn and the high line it's takes is unbeatable, faster than any board I have owned,outruns the quad qith ease...sorry if I'm dribbling, I'm just way excited.
Was not all peachy, had my arse handed to me plenty of times.
Looking forward to a few more surfs to get more off an idea on the new one. But it was very easy to ride in some chunky stuff. Pffft pumping for speed,take a step.forward and whoa. 
Thats a sick look singly more photos please....
Had a few lumpy bumps this morning, got a few good racing to the horizon paddles trying to avoid getting hammered & a ding to repair from the reef on the way in...might be better this arvo maybe
Treacherous multi headed crap early on over this way brother - sad shizz really given the wind forecast was wrong overnight , watched a couple of shorties getting bashed & that was entertaining sort of
Same point as yesterday, only this time we had MR with us, plenty of fun for everyone
Looked like Dee Why had some nice waves this morning Ob. Sadly I could not hit it as I had an early meeting in Penrith. Yuck - what an experience that was
Not had a surf for what feels like an eternity. Hope this will change in the morning.

haha yeah I was one of them, its better today. Heading down for a quicky soon
Well the NSW grommet tour invaded one of the breaks all week here...but geez some of those kids can rip Great to watch
Great thing..left other breaks totally vacant. Had 1 hour of solid 3ft plus with one other..made a pig of ourselves.
Bad thing....on the road speaking tour for the next 10 days so no surf for me 
Surfed dodgy yellow sand closeouts...the sweep was mental. Went from main beach to the Sheraton in under 15 mins,took me 20 to.walk back should have went across the pond..
Had some great waves today at one of the main local breaks. Was just the 3 of us & then the other guys went in & I was out there on my own for about 45 mins just as the tide was dropping & waves got better. Really happy, coz the last 2 surfs I've had on my new shortboard have been really crap. I put some AM2 fins in for more drive & had some decent waves to test it in. Boards going much better, but I can tell I've spent too much time on longboards the last few months 
Bummer.....tomorrow is looking to be the first opportunity I will have to surf in around 3-4 weeks and northerly comes up and surf goes down......so goldie points look like they are out if I want any quality.....north end gold coast beachies might be the go..forecast not looking too great but hopefully there will be a few to lap around my knees....
I know the topic is not "where are you surfing tomorrow"hahaha but seemed like a decent spot for my whinge.....
Actually ventured nth goldy had a blast waist high on the log more tomorrow maybe before lake pacific comes around

Beachies down south end of Sunnie coast.... Average. Knee high mostly, took a while to find a bank that was doing something other than lapping on the shore hahaha
Was clear and glassy though so nice to be in the water
Surfed a little 3 foot left with no one but me...swell was supposed to kick big tim this arvo but it just looks like its got smaller....ho well
Very small little right handers at The .......d...waiting for some swell..come on Heuy 
Glad you boys getting some - yet to see the beach this week - maybe Thursday but swell god is not playing the game. Too much work at the moment is killing me. I need a holiday!!!
