I can't wait... mine is almost here!
He really lays out what the Ghost Up does and what makes it work

I know what my next big wave board will be

Here's a clip of one of the first surfs I had on my 8'1" Ghost Up...

I love this board!

Yeah nice one casso ,I can see the tail working on this board ,it just stays in gauged with the wave ,loved the placid because of this ,it was a shame the placid was so slow .it looks easy to surf and throw around . great surfing of course Andrew .


like the placid I think it is a tail ridden board ,

hope you don't have to wait too long Rick .

Sometimes you look at the lines on a board and just think F yeah, she's beautiful, she's gonna work.
Looks like there might even be a wave in the morning to get her wet, fingers crossed....

First session thoughts:
Waves were small, sand all wrong and too many people, but stuff it I had a go anyway.
First things first it's a really good looking board. Not totally sold on the deck pad but each to their own. I love the stained timber and it's nice and light. 8'10" x 30.5 x 128.5L is perfect for me and I found it really comfortable. Most of the board was under water with the deck high and dry, which is just how I like it. Just enough nose kick to avoid pearling. I got on to one decent beachy and I could feel how she'd love a steep face, beautiful drawn out bottom turn. I'll have another go tomorrow, but one thing that I can honestly say is that this is the easiest board I've had of this shape to paddle on to a wave. Seriously. Most of the stuff I was surfing was 1 to 2 foot and I didn't miss one. Look forward to some solid swell, fingers crossed.

keep us posted Brenno ,i'm after a bigger wave board .and its the perfect volume any bigger and it drags you for miles

shape looks great

Tardy mate, the surf has been so sporadic for so long but I got the ghostuuuuuuuuuuuup on some decent mid tide beach bombs mid week for about a 1 hour window. Session # 6 and the best yet. I am still amazed at the glide she has for a shortboard shape. really impressive. And what that does is allow you to paddle for the next section and make it with ease. FINALLY got my back foot on the pad and gave it some, even managed to chuck some buckets, heaps of fun - a really great board set up with larger side quobbas and a slightly smaller centre. Being a big lad, I've always aimed a bit wider with this shape, which can be a disadvantage sometimes. Tend to squirrel around the centre axis and get bogged. Not with this board. Can't wait for the next decent sesh. Yewwwww!

I have been in Florida since I got my Ghost Up.... so no opportunities to test it in any serious waves yet.
Making a video now using clips from several sessions to give some kind of look at my 8'10 Ghost Up.

Here are some pics from yesterdays windy, lumpy session.... such a fun board that does everything well

I picked up the 9"8 Ghost up as my big wave board and absolutely loved it. Tried it in small waves and it was awful. Anything head high and above it excels

SoloShot wasn't working for this swell but you can hear me grunting through some juicy waves on my 8'10 Ghost Up
This was the first time I really got to test the Ghost Up in waves with some size.... it stuck to the face and carved solid turns!
Totally comfortable on steep walls, even though most waves ran me down with punishing efficiency

Nice Rick
