Carbs79-
the ledge handle on my custom Sunova was plenty deep... certainly not a finger hold like a on JP. Tardy's looks a little different in shape to mine, however, I've seen those handles on other boards and they are great.

I was thinking maybe I need two handles now

Just a Bump because it's been a while..
Any news on delivery dates yet??

Thanks sunnybouy .
its a slow boat from china ,in this case Thailand ....but looking like next January now ..with all the shipping connections .from there
then despatch .From SURFFX ..QLD. .F U C.

I've almost given up hope seeing it .

LUCKY .i have a few boards ...or else i would pulled my hair out by now .
really been enjoying the 9,0 flash of late ,man it can take some big late drops and still survive .
amazing rocker line for steep waves ,but not to good in slow waves .because of the really narrow
and thinned tail i find it as wobbly as my 9,1 125 litre acid ,when the flash is 132.I can't work it out
hopefully the new bigger acid will fill the small wave gap I'm after .

i hope its worth the wait .

I WILL up date as soon as i have photos of the finished product ...sorry its been so long ,but out of my hands .

Cool, thanks for the update. I know it's your board, but we feel like we are personally involved too!!

Good to hear about the Flash, that's one on my list to consider. And similar Dims too..

Keep the faith, it will arrive soon enough.

Why is it taking so long?

As an aside I sold my 9'0 flash and bought the 8'9. Its certainly less stable, even front to back with the thinner tail, but surfs much easier.

Because it comes in a container with other boards ,and a large order..due for the Gold Coast .

i could of paid $$$ $ for it to be airfreighted ,I did think about it .but I brought a new paddle instead .for the price quoted
and decided to wait ..

don't worry a short movie will be coming ..on this board ..my mates a bit of a guru in this field .
drone footage and wave shots ..

yeah I stuck with my 9,0 ,due to the fact I already have 120 litre flow and 125 litre Acid .
you could almost say I don't need this board ...but it will be great for travelling .

you will be able to order a travel stick in January .i think for $400 extra on top of a custom price .

Hang in there digger!
January's just around the corner mate and before you know it you'll be pulling into some beasts on the black acid and I reckon Sunnybouy will be able to see yr grinnin' from his place!
cripes - I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof myself!!!
Yeeew!!!

On the move again .this is deep deep purple.await gloss in a few days.....that's just white tape .....i think .you can see the colour purple on the clear plastic ....stay tuned ...i might get the record for the longest thread ....gotta look for fins soon ..gotta be colourful ...

It is going to be a very nice machine, looking forward to seeing the full picture!

Yep - Tardy - that's lookin' filth mate. It's getting better - it's gonna be weapon!!!

No, it's supposed to break in half

I was just glad I wasn't there when they got the saw out and cut a perfectly good board in half ...

it was a tough decision ,but sure gonna make a family holiday a lot easier ..instead of worrying about roof racks

just chuck it in the back of a station wagon ,it will be 1-37 metres in length .so a lift will be no problem

when I stay in the penthouse .at Waikiki ..in my dreams .ha .

shorter than a surfboard

Well the wait is almost over ....my board is being sent next week ...

i will have some final photos in the next couple of days ..

Hope it's sent on a fast boat ...

Thanks Tino for all the photos.I truly am stoked. hope this gets you drooling everyone ...

Well there ya go folks.all done .about to get boxed for shipping this week .THE BLACK ACID is About to hit town

Patience is a virtue . Enjoy

Oh Joy!

Lol.because nobody else would ...

they where hesitant ..but I talked them into it .
don't worry I won't leave it in the sun .

might get a black one ...stay on the Dark side .

thanks everyone for the best wishes ...
