Stacks of photos coming...

This is the DVS;

This is my new 9'0 DVS Reef Rider. It about 22"3/4 wide, and probably 3 inches thick, but carries stacks of volume out towards the rails. Very flat decked. Flat across... It also has a Kevlar inlay to the deck, and Carbon Fibre lay-up to the bottom. Plus a vent hole at the deck (deck side)... Custom DVS fins... cute side skegs.

A "Note" log, built here in Torquay. Old school all over, glassed to last (heavy), but a newish design to the fin... fin template...

Wayne Lynch Semi Gun... Only about 7'3... Wayne does his boards really fine... You would only want to be 65-80kg for this board... 85kegs tops (feels like it would be perfect for a guy around 70-75...)... Not much foam... Very nice though...

This is a hollow Dick Van Straalen Fish... You need about $1500 in your pocket to extract this board from the shop!
Scooped (concave) deck, so it would be comfy to paddle!

Final Vee out at the tail...

The yellow Lopez board and the orange pin tail look awesome. Shop near you Simo?

Yeah Doggie, that is in at Patagonia, Torquay. I don't think you have a Patagonia store over in WA?
I've been to the one in Tokyo too, if you remember those pics from last winter.

Your cousin, Tha Dogman from Minnie Water NSW, he brought me down the 9 foot Dick Van Straalen.

Na, no Patagonia over here. Was the DVS a custom for you?

Doggie, I've gone and added some comments into the photos above now.
The 9'0 DVS - no not custom. A second had board from Forster-Tuncurry, for Kev who works at Jungle Surf (Tuncurry). It was his custom. He's into 666, and off loaded it... Tha Dogman did the courier duties!

Nope - it uses the 2.4 G ISM frequency - which gives you approx. 300m range and about 10 to 15 mins of flight time. Go Pro hooks straight up to it.
