Rumor is correct, tomorrow pick up & possibly a few waves too if I can find a nice deserted beach somewhere.

Uncle what fins are you running in yours?

Hey V12 Turbo - kidnap the Prez on the way through ..... the big man needs to get out and right amongst it

I've stayed with the 2+1 setup, dion glas side bites & Shapers 7.5", just been marking off best positions on finbox. Had to stop trying all other fins was just confusing this old stompie, although as a quad it felt good.I'll revisit them in a couple of more 2+1 surfs. Hope you get a wave on it today.

Thanks for the feedback uncle.

Pickup has been delayed another day due to work commitments.

Finally picked it up today, waxed it up & took her for a paddle in absolute sloppy conditions, it was more just to see how it floated me and how well it paddled. A big thumbs up on both accounts. Now just need some time and better conditions to get to know each other.

Got her home, cracked a fresh home brew apple & pear cider and showed it off to the dog.

Yeah mate I got her wet, totally crap conditions but was really curious how she'd float me & paddle, pleasantly surprised on both counts.

The one wave I did get up on it felt like I was on a skateboard with only the back wheels on the ground, it felt really skatey but I guess it would coming off a 10' board.

I did manage to put a fairly good depression on the deck though, damm poor technique and dodgy joints.

Vanders, I had the same skatey feeling first time out on mine. I moved the side fins to about the middle of the finbox & the main fin back, gradually, & now it feels just right. Also more time on the board & you'll get used to having less 'nose" in front of you. How's the paddle though, good on the "old" arms, hey.

Good tips mate, appreciate that.

Yeah I was really surprised about the paddle, having never ridden anything under 9'3 the legs dragging in the water feels very inefficient though, so I was doing the old bent knees and crossed feet like I do on the LB. Don't know if this is the done thing but don't really care either.

Thats an interesting comment "oldmal", what makes you say that, considering vanders has had one crappy, his words, surf on it.

Phew, vanders i only realised after i'd posted that Oldmal might be a mate of yours & that he was just revving you up. Anywho, yep Vman do the I'm cool crossed leg, at the ankles if you please, paddle. It really fk-ups the young guys & makes you feel like a "gremmie", word used before "grom" became the norm, again. In 6 mths time there will be a subx weekend in & around the Crescent area I reckon. Surf, beers, bbq smoke ahh I can smell it now.

That's the best idea I've heard in ages, I suppose we could let the other middy guys join us but they'll have to stick to soft drink.
