No its not for me :)

Also doing a 132L FSW at same time so the differences are of course rather significant.

Can imagine the speed board is fiddly in comparison.

Unless it's a honkin breeze that board would be residing on the bottom for me too.

Looks nice, Carbon stringer?

Haha yeah me too
Its exactly half the volume of my small waveboard!

Elmo, no stringer, just a UD carbon strip that they all get as a stiffener in the business area. Even the waveboards

Do you have a target max speed for your new beast? It'll be interesting to see if you get there.

Kinda , because I only build a couple boards a year , I start from a big bastard block of foam . What doesn't end up on the floor and in the vac , ends up in the swimming pools of SE Queensland . Not that it would really matter at the moment
Being really nice to my neighbors , so far , has not led to the EPA being involved .

Very Nice Dezza and Mark1

Timing not ideal to try it out at LG. But if it works well in the chop at Primbee, that will be excellent! . Bring in the Westerlies!
