looks like we are in for these conditions for weeks.
I want out on my shorty in shifty sweepy waves at the alley.
stuff it ,give me that board in the shop. by the time the one ordered is made it will be all over.
couple of hundred folders and im away
I have a hammer and nails but you lot will have to supple the cross
How different are the dims to the one you were going to order Lacey?
I got a new one this morning too.
Won't say to much but limited edition.
Sure to become a collectable, very happy to have it in the collection.
I'm trying to pass it off as a Valentine's day present for the GF.. She isn't buying it..
Thanks again Ted.
Well. Took the board out at the alley.
Does the job perfectly. Paddles well duck dives and comes up where you put it gets on and solid take offs and surfs like a 7 fters.
so mac, pup and those of their kind - get stuffed
first surf today . arvo windy sweep 3,4 to 5 ft.
well firstly its is a good paddler. duck dives for me and come up straight even tho you can feel its a fair amount of board.
paddles in nice and early with control- no sudden late speed surges on take off. very solid .
surfs even, does responded to a pump but it is 7 ft.
surfing it with am2s. feels a bit tight. I might play with a smaller centre fin. I might email mr to see if he has a suggestion. obviously im pretty light for the size of this board. however I don't want to stay to far from my board 'specs'
catch 6 waves and paddled back up no worries passing most.
didn't get any bombs or anything just feeling the board out.
last wave put in 4 good cutbacks from the point to in front of the dog beach area. I have to work it but hey its 7 ft again- thxs the drip
so far seems perfect for the job intended- to get my out there when I would pass normally
No need for excuses mate, life too short, do what ya want, buy what ya want.
Nice looking board & glad you're liking it so far.
"Johnson, My wave."
You'll enjoy the 7'er. Right time of year for it and all.
Such good boards the flying fish.
Try running it with a smaller centre fin to free up the tail because you've got plenty of rail to use.
Happy man. Don't know why I dithered around so long. Made for a pleasant weekend
Text mac he should get a longer one for those 50/50 days but no answer to that one.
To set in his ways the old fossil
I like how you've actually bought a board in my dims for a change too but I'm not sure how quickly I should get the cash together.
I think I'll duck for cover now.
Either that or go and have a look at the Roy's gun thread.
I just need to get my head in the right space.
Maybe I'll watch some Monty Python sketches first.
