A sweet range of tints, from 27 Feb...
Surfing Australia Awards Night, 21 Feb

A new "board of the month". The Step Deck. It's been on the pages for a little while, and this example (on link) is a very sweet board.

Reading between the lines, I think this board has modernised rail hardness , but old school single fin appeal, and old school tints and templates, and some Vee thown in for Free!



That range of boards posted on 27 Feb.... SWEET!

Ahhhh, there's about 4-5 boards in his lineup I would luv to have in my quiver...

Whats the deal with that Blue speedshape further down the page...looks like the kind of thing that would be sick on a big day at Bells or Winki?

No Sh!t. The Blue Speed Shape is birth of my next board.
I'm gunna get a similar one made, but not so much of a "super pin".

Is it a a pin tail tracker...I was reading somewhere that the trackers are not so good in the juice...too much vee in the tail??

Rails are a bit too soft also...

Either way, I'm gunna clean out a few neglected boards, and get a board similar to the Speed Shape. The Speed Shape is one of Bob's handshapes. So it's actually got different bottom lines to The Tracker.

I'll off load about 5 boards...
Channel Islands 6'6 Generation1 Single Fin - Light Green Tints - $450
9'6 Billy Hamilton Stylist Tufflite - $500
Channel Islands 6'6 Generation2 Single Fin - Clear - $380
Ditto - in a 6'7 - $380
Plus others...

Simondo you made me check out the CI site and this is what I found - not bad for a bloke over 40!! 2 1/4 is not thick!!!!! By the way that Telo's adventure sounds unreal!!! Love to go there one day....sounds like an awesome setup.

Looks very playful out there! I would love to surf it like that with only 3 people.....

Lots of new camera angles by the look of it - seems a more professional approach. Lets hope the commentators do not ruin it.

Different stokes for different folks Chrispy.

The Mct make really smooth longboard designs, which is something I like in a longboard but not a midlength. Others who are real stylists will love em.

Unfortunately I have no style.
