Been frothing on these 2 boards as of late. Both 8.6 so the LB purists will hopefully whinge less as they are close to an LB.

Look for a DVS all rounder while you're at it...they come up used sometimes and they are fantastic.
My 7'6" Woosley vquad is a seriously good midlength...could easily be stretched out another foot for more paddle power.

And there's some really sweet FUYU's

That Blue one is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!

Agreed, that Jye Byrnes template looks awesome.

Yes the Vouch is definitely more of a full planshape.

Both great looking boards. Always love seeing new boards in that sort of length.

Did you followup on that mal at middleton McHenry????

I believe you have a nice Black Apache longer midlength you should show off Surf 69 ??

Yeah it's a super smooth board. More of a cruiser, should of gone with a single fin setup or 2+1. But it is still a cracker of a board. Really glidey... But once you get back over the fins you can turn it pretty quickly etc...

I don't ride it all that much now - I am on a fish trip... I should get it back out once this ridiculous swell eases.

I saw a bloke with a shorter duo having fun a few months ago. Had a chat to him and he wasn't overly keen on it. Said it needs a bit of push in the wave and a clean point to really work. I like the look of them and am intrigued by the design however if I got one I would feel like a tool as my surfing wouldn't warrant something so out there. Hahaha. I don't need anymore people watching me surf...

Miller V-skate 8' 22 3/4" 3 1/4". Blown up short board shape. Goes ok in smaller stuff but really shines in shoulder high and up. Doesn't have the tail width (14 1/4") of the McCoy nuggets I usually ride (17" & 19" for 8' 2" nugget and 7' 6" potbelly respectively) so needs more size. Turns a nice head high face into a skate park. Feel like Jordy Smith carving (although I'm sure it doesn't look that way from the beach!!!!) Takes a while to adjust stance as McCoys demand a heavy rear foot style of surfing whereas this has multiple turning sweet spots- more drawn out from further up the board or step back to tail for a quicker slashier turn. The narrower tail means you tip the board over on a rail more to turn, unlike the McCoys that sit up and skim on the wide bums.

That's interesting and great feedback Leashless. I was a bit intrigued by the Duo,made sense to an extent but was still baffled by it, then Watching NPJ and Chippa Wilson surf it i could see the potential , but they could both ride a plank with a nail in it.

And here's the Shewolf McHenry, without a doubt one of the most versatile and Epic boards i've ever had. Performs in 2' to well over head Padang Padang.Love it.
7'10" x 22" x 2 7/8"

Chucked the 9'5" McT Involvement in also because its Awesome :)

......and 7'6" 22" 3 1/4" McCoy potbelly nugget. Catches waves like a mal with its big bum and flat rocker. A skipping stone, it tends to surf horizontally (like a big fish) and needs little input to generate speed. Hard to surf rail to rail with a 19" tail but not designed to. Unusually for a McCoy it tolerates some forward trimming due to wider nose and flatter rocker. Compare to the Miller in previous post and you'll get an inkling as to why both boards require different styles and different waves! All good fun.

Most of you guys have seen this one before but being on topic I thought I'd put it out there..and a plug for RG

Great board..8' x 22" x 2 3/4"

I am in the flood zone this evening. Will send you an update later. Here is the calm before the storm - the West Tamar bridge in Launceston - let's hope the South Esk does not deliver a huge deluge as the high tide hits early Tom morning

Ohh SHIZA! Take it say Ted!

I love the look of that SheWolfe by Black Apache. The outline is such a classic.
