Latest addition. 7 foot for 4-6' clean quality waves. I would have gone shorter but with my ruined ankle I don't need too tight a turning arc. As it is, I tear it up enough that I will be doing better hacks and getting better barrels than lots of people on sleeker HP shorties.

That might also be because they need more foam but are too proud to admit it.

This is for my trip up north in a few weeks as I wanted something more refined than what I have recently been riding, but with more foam than many of my other midlengths.

Ted, you need something like this. Maybe shorter though. What literage are you after?

All hail the artistry of Yahoo. Mark is the man.

Thought I might start a new string of brand worship.

Nice looking board man, how wide is it

Big girl, hence why it looks like a shorter board.

7 x 21 1/2 x 2 7/8.

No need to be humble hey haha

Got another barge yesterday. An 11 foot Pearson Arrow Laird. I'm pretty sure Boofy's got one of these. Really flat up front with pulled down rails and nice tail kick. Just like riding a good longboard but much bigger. Heaps of fun. No pics though.

Post a picture mate if others are posting shortboards your barge is closer to a longboard.
Lacey gets away with it

That is true Mick. Try and get a Surftech one if you can . The new ones put out by a different company have had some construction issues. I'll get some pics in the next day or two and put them up. Even though its a 666 its more like a longboard.

Realist. I see lots of people surfing worse than me and most of them are surfing potatoe chips. I am not a competitive surfer, but I go alright and can ride a barrel (more to the point I can find the barrel). With a bit more thickness and rail line I reckon lots of people would surf better.

I agree Drip. That board looks nice - finding that sweet combo between volume n performance is my mission.

Ok....here's the new board...the first one I've bought since 1969....

9'1" x 23" x 3"

I have a few fins to try....looks good & feels good

mmmmmmmm I always said you had magnificent taste Fish go hard mate looks mint lubbly jubbly

Nice and clean Lance
