There will be some new All Star demo boards at The ZU so we want to bring those along. Also Rod from Starboard and Paul from The ZU are both eager to join in. Anyone want to try an All Star? I think there are another 2 available. We will swap mid DW so everyone gets to try the different widths.

I agree PT that was an excellent day. It was great to try all the boards I have only seen in mags and on the net.
Standouts for me were the new 14' Allstar and the Hypernut. The Allstar is heaps more stable than last years model and just felt really comfortable. The Hypernut was awesome in flat water so I can only imagine what it would be like in the surf. It was also incredibly stable and tracked surprisingly well. Thanks Paul, Ivan and Rod.

Good to see you there Antho. Huge fun. Great light Downwinder today, got to try the new 14'x28" Allstar Downwinder which was very easy to catch runners and super stable even in cross chop. Got to go on the Ace GT again which I just love. Made the most of the conditions.

half your luck teeps!

Was impressed wit the new 14' Allstars, paddled the the 27 and the 28 back-to-back in some windy slop this morning, both very well mannered upwind and they pick up a bump easy. Would be hard to choose between the two.
