Ok - who in Tassy or Vic has a good LB (9.6ish) that they wanna sell me for under $450 ??

Yes its a serious question.

I've just found Australias best longboard wave and I have to get amongst it.

Wow - that sounds like a find.

Your odds are good - With Mac getting himself another new board shortly....that means Asea will be getting the hand me down and Simondo will pick up another from him which should mean Simondo has a board to go

So where is this place BB ?
A pic would be good.

BB you're a week too late

I am selling my old board cheap BB

Give us a PM if you are keen .

Has anyone bought or tried a coco mat mal ?

Gunna buy an nsp 9.6 but not sure whether to go traditional or coco construction.

cmc does rate them super highly. would be good to hear how they go in a longboard.

Red herring in burnie hire out NSP longboards and sell them off secondhand .

No idea what they are made of I would be guessing epoxy . Bloke I know hired one for a day to try them out reckons they were a lot of fun .

Not sure if there are any there at the moment though

Thanks TD. I have owned and ridden nsp mals for years and they are as good or better than any longboard on the market.
Being a long term fan of tuflite I am wondering if the coco is a similar weight and feel to tuflite. Im not sure whether a superlight mal is optimal for where I plan to surf. Will make some kind of decision today.
I just hope the body is up to riding a mal again.
Oh - has anyone seen hooded vests online ? I use sds and surfstitch but they dont seem to stock them.

Funny Bill how NSP have a bad rep when they aren't bad boards . Probably just people being anti the mass foreign production .

I am sure I saw hooded vests for sale on e bay recently , personally I hate them but they are warm

Just talking to a bloke about your secret LB break . He agreed apparently a great spot when all the other spots are blown out by big northwesterly to westerlys will have to get there next time the conditions are right and check it out .

TD - I'll be there this sat' at 8am and again grand final sat at same time if you are about.

This Saturday sounds good Bill will contact you closer to Saturday to let you know for sure may even have a spare board for you to have a play on by then

Will probably park at the surf club or just past it at the boatramp.
Little red car- you cant miss it. Will txt you when I get there.

Unfortunately today's surf started out as a bit of a stuff up .
No surf at the spot we were heading to so BB has headed back to Launy while me and my old mate Big Dave on his board called the floating boat , headed for another spot .

Lucky for me and Big Dave we cracked it pretty good , nice 3 footers with only 2 others to share it with . Beautiful spot looking back over green rolling hills and old colonial homes .
What started out as a real downer turned out to be the best surf I have had since last summer

I still got a beautiful paddle across the estuary and around the bay - and my first paddle in boardies and tee since arriving in tassie. Had a superb coffee at ETC and back to town to watcb a great hockey final - followed by the best italian meal Ive ever had.
