Just thought i'd add this little review of the Subx.
This is one I had shaped for my neighbor as a gift in return for architectural design he's done for our house, and I would add that Andy is a pretty good old school shortboarder who's lived and surfed on the QLD/NSW surf coast as well as NW Tasmania. Andy knows boards and has a collection of about 30-40 boards... I'm pretty sure, as you might gather, that the SubX is the new fave
I would also add that Andys has been shaped a little different to mine coming from a SB Vs coming from the LB.
The below is an email from Grant Miller/Andy

Hi Grant
Just wanted to give you some feedback on the 7.0 SubX you shaped for me.
Firstly thank you for the care and passion you put into your boards .
There is a lot going on with the detail in these and the finish is superb.
At 50 i need volume for paddling but want all that foam to disappear after takeoff.
That is where this board truly surprises. I was expecting a lazy mini mal like ride but the subx was driving itself down the face on take off, with phenomenal acceleration through bottom turns and then going rail to rail like a short board. Even on more critical take offs the bottom rail combo maintain a fast, light neutral feel. There's no stall off the top and remains well mannered when bouncing off the whitewater. We all like to think we got that special board but reading the testimonials of others suggests its this design.
Grant Miller you sorcerer, there is some serious magic going on here.
Andrew/Tasmania
Surfer:50/90kg/5'11" Board:7'0" X 23 1/8" x 3 3/16" 2 plus 1 version.
Note from Grant Miller: This board was ordered as a gift for Andrew by one of his friends. His friend already has a SUBX which Andrew had ridden, and so using my design records it was not difficult to build him a very similar board. Andrew's comments really describe the SUBX beautifully.
Hi Andrew, it seems we got it right for Andy eh? He seems totally stoked and so appreciative. Best to you mate.
Grant.
