yep. I love it. Its a a fun fish, so much speed as a quad, turns great and can do some funky slides, great response being so small. Its def a great board in a quiver..

That guy is always hanging onto something.... A paddle, a kite spreader bar, or a windsurf boom....

I'd love to have a go on this board. Fingers crossed that there'll be one to demo at Mambo.

Aren't you a sponsored Naish rider? Haven't you had a ride yet?

Live in the UK, you cant test ride boards here as Naish dont carry stock, the demand is too fickle.

So have to rely on others...

Hi Spencer - you just reminded me of my fav all time joke.......maybe u can shed some light on it for me. Although I do recall a few late nights in Chelmsford on the odd occassion.

Whats the difference between an Essex Girl and an Essex's boy?

The girl has a higher sperm count!!!

By the way that is one lovely looking board. Too small for me sadly.

Thanks...its been a stressful week to tell the truth but we are basically all in the new place now. Had phone connected yesterday and internet should be on next week then life will be back to normal. Had a few waves this week up and around the new place - nothing special though as this part of NSW has been pretty average. Not looking good over the next little while either. Will post some Pics when i get a chance.

I had a few surfs in Wales once - we used to go mountaining biking at the Red Bull Track then drive over the hill to some weird little Uni town called Aberystwyth for a night out and then drive down the coast and hunt some waves if there was any swell. We used to try around the Milford / Pembrok area. Never had much luck though. We had lots of luck in North Devon though and used to frequent those spots more often.
