The "Nozza" is in Sydney with AA.
This Nozza is in Melbourne, and not allowed to get wet following surgery.
Maybe AA has been out getting it wet..........

Oh noooo!
Heal well, this build has been like having a baby, even for us lot watching on

Be well Nooza, put that baby on the wall and let it heal you!

Not quite wet yet!

Unusable

I wonder if you can get transparent deck pads it's too nice to cover up!!??

Those dark maroon rails look lovely ..

Hope Nozza gets sponsored as a TEAM rider,
Longest Sunova advert ever....... ??

Thanks AA, looking better all the time.
As you would know, I sent my Sydney man down to inspect.


Or as he put it, "Worship"
A week to go until I collect....
Appointment with the surgeon on Thursday - I may take a gun to encourage him to take the stitches out and give me the all clear.

Sunova would more likely pay me to remove the branding from the board, if they saw my surfing ability.

After seeking advice from the Longboarders, and ignoring the bits my psychologist would describe as "not helpful", I'm going to give wax a go initially. Winning argument was you can drink beer while removing it after a surf, then re applying it.

So many aspects of the board that are not what I thought they would be, I really like.

Yep i dropped by AA's shop and he let me in to the inner sanctum so i could just spend some time in the presence of greatness.
The board looks fantastic and you will not be disappointed by the finish or details.
It is like a swiss army knife the more you look at it the more things appear and you go thats a good idea, probably the only thing not there was a can opener. or maybe i just could find it as i was so dazzled by the colour scheme
Nice one Nozza
Aloha

No posts for today, so I'll put one out there :

Given that we all (try to) surf our 12'6" raceboards, with varying levels of success, and generally with (understandably) poor levels of acceptance from other surfers, will "The Nozza" be a turning point for us?

Will we all be adding "Nozza's" to our already hefty quivers, or perhaps even ditching the 12'6" raceboards in favour of "The Nozza"?

Will "The Nozza" take a piece out of the (significant) 10'6" market?

Will Nozza go down in SUP-surfing history as The Man who popularised The Search into the SUP mainstream?
(Sorry Bert, Casso...)

Have at it...
