looks like hours of fun yew

Got it wet for the first time this morning up the central coast, really bad conditions but I did manage a couple of waves that did give an indication of its potential.

As soon as I got home, I took the big yellow board off the roof so I'll be forced to ride this one, no matter what the conditions are.

I'm finding it hard to work out where I should be when I paddle it. I know I can be further forward than with big yellow, but I'm not sure how much.

Ahhh the excitement of discovery brother Obs ...... frothing mate hope she gives plenty

Been watching OB dominate on his new beast from the balcony. I want to have a crack on his new weapon. Looks like a beauty.

Come on OB....you've got to have a "come back" to that....what's goin' on there

Oh yes, she's a real rip snorter of a good little unit, me and MR went out at Manly while Ted perved on us from a balcony (hope he wasn't touching himself while he was looking at us), not good conditions but good enough to work out if I had a real nose rider on my hands.

When I finally got a suitable one, I shuffled up the front and managed to get 5 on the nose without it doing an impression of the titanic, and I have a witness, because in order to get that wave I had to drop in on MR (it's a small sacrifice for a greater Good old mate). I let out a hell of a hoot the second I realised it was working and then MR let out a hoot because he could see it was doing what's I paid it to do. Oh joy oh joyosity

And I recon it still catches waves as good as its big brother

Good work obct!
I reckon the main difference between say a 10'0 v's 9'6, or a 9'6 v's a 9'1... is you just need a tiny bit more effort with the final 2 paddle strokes before you pop to your feet...

Obct so happy your new board is behaving...
The ask I have for my new one is the same as you...hope I can get up the same place as you...


Shame Ted shame

Sorry for not making it across the road to join you for a surf. It would not have been safe for me to the enter the water at that time. Your board looks good. Glad you liking it. See you soon
