Hi

I am looking at a new longboard for myself here, I have seen a laguna bay single fin

But.... Its 9'6
My question is do these singles come in a 9ft or just the 9'6 being a nose rider?
I looked on the site but i only see the 9'6 in the same dimentions at 9'6 x 23 x 3 i think it was.

I am not sure with laguna bay shapes, But at 85kg i presume the style and shape of this stick is not to much board for the surfer weight

I ride a waldon magic 9'0 now and its great but i am gravitating to a single fin

One things for sure, at your weight on that board, you're sure going to catch some waves.

If it's a nose rider you're probably going to be doing a different style of riding compared to the Walden so the length is not so much a factor.

You will want to move around a lot more and do big deliberate turns off the tail with all the front of the board rearing its head out in front of you, then moving up quickly to trim and do it all over again in the opposite direction.

Is that the type of riding you want to move towards?

Or do you think you'll always be a hotdogger who prefers the shorter style?

Keep in mind that these thoughts are coming from someone who can only do these things in his dreams

Hi BP,how are things matie?and the surf shop going well for you?

Send them an email,work out what you want and order a custom
its too easy BP

Thanks guys, I am a into performance longboarding yes, but want to do more traditional surfing but a board that is not 100 percent limited to it

But the single is a must, takes out the ohhhh should have the bites in today

Mac will email you now, yep shop is going ok, but the earth quacks have cause a up raw on sales and only one beach is open since two days ago

I surfed the closed beach last night 2 ft clean on the mal and i have not got a extra head growing so cant be that bad on sewage

I say harden the f... up and get into it, then i might sell some boards

Your boards in oz are wayyyyy pricey compared to here and the thing called freight and tax arrrr bloody ozies

I'm a fan of side bites.... for me, they just stay in there all the time....

Come and hang in the Longboard Room a bit more BP. Distinct lack of grumpy old men in here, on comparison to the SUP room.

Im just a grumpy old shop owner now[}:)]

hmmmmm yummy

The above board i think has 50/50 rails I THINK You guys would know more about this shape than me.

Took it out and loved it, stable and turns nice off the tail, I was thinking it would be a hard one to get use to being a little more traditional in style but was great

Question, i want to change out the factory fin for something else??
Looking at fcs woody clasic but im thinking 9.75 ?? board is 9'6

That fin looks pretty good. send in some more pics of the board.

yes, good looking fin.

Looks like a hatchet for most if it other than that sweep back at the top and that little cutaway.

I reckon you would never need more that 9.5 inches of fin but a quarter of an inch isn't going to make a scrap of difference either way.

Thanks, i think i will order one in, Will take photos of the board i hope tommorow just need to do a small repair, So dam tied up doing every other buggers board

Never thought i would like a single esp with 50/50 rails but i would say its my fav board yet

Boarder Paul I just took a few snaps of my boards with the different fins and rails ect. I'll get them loaded up and you can have a look at them.
That board you got looks like a noserider shape.

Thanks, im sure the board i have here is the nose rider model .. Looks the same as the website anyway and same spray, I would not say the nose it overwide though

But its more a modern old school board i think

If anyone can comfirm the model this would be great

On their site it states noserider but it kind of looks a mixed bag imho.

^ looks a bit like a pig with the hips pulled in

Oh sorry you said awesome looking tint not awesome looking bloke.

Thats a great pic and you look so happy

Such an awesome board, I would love a shorter version of that like a 7,6

Couple of nice lookers there vanders

The swell backed off so hit mate and give us another report.

That Astro is nice and you can see the quality just at a glance.

Looking for something a little wild on the tint lads[}:)]

doggie that outer shape would also be nice on a 7.6 as you said.

Keep thinking about that session at the Pass, the first on the Saturday. Was so much fun. I recon 7,6 is the go and I fell inlove with Vanders Astro, asea's was very nice as well. Spewin asea could have come with us, but fun was had all the same

Mac I'm out at Roma for 2 weeks so no surfing for me, looked at the camera today & wished I was there.

Doggie that pics was on that Sat morning before we hit Byron, was a good weekend!!!

There's some 7'6" with your name on them at 6oz - the takayama NR or scorpion come to mind there was a really nice 7'2" NR in there the other day, lasted a day in the shop

I was also thinking one of those hull design boards, they look great with the thin rails mmmm rails

The Cooperfish site has some pretty nice tints. A nice tint with a pigment overlay can look good too.

There was a an NR2 with a smoke tint with a blue pigment nose on the 6 ounce site that looks pretty nice. Lots of dollars though.

That would be the one - the tints are where the prices go up, if you go sans tint(s) their less but where's the point in getting a board like that and not tinting it
