Still need to wet n dry a little, but she's come up pretty sweet I reckon. I nick name her "the banana boat"

Single Concave


To Double Concave


Plenty of rocker on the rails, but not so much with the single concave scooping it out through the middle.






Can't wait to get her in the water...still deciding on fins, wish I could afford 3 sets. Probably gonna go a set with a 6' centre, coz I already have a 7' & a 9' centres...Was thinking of going with a 8', but don't think it would be as variable as having a 6' in the mix

Oh the board looks good too

Mick get that dirty spirt level off that board now nice beach break board mick and champion looking BBQ mate can't beat a snag cooked with wood

Nicely named beast....looks like lots of fun times ahead on your new toy. Enjoy ! Rumour has it SDR makes a nice board was speaking to one of his faithful earlier today who can not stop raving about them!!!

Yeah most of the state round guys over here ride them. They have a very good rep...I'm very lucky to have picked one up in great condition. The seller is a good bloke

Ahhhhhh so you did swoop brother Michael ..... have to put a fine comb over that as soon as this **** cycle clears away

Isn't it a good feeling bring home a new board,Mick that looks in very good condition even has the new logo so it can't be too old.
I also like the tail lift,nice!

Mick that's what I had the Ruben 2+1 set up oh well good luck

I'll see how it goes, may not be a huge difference with the side fins & I'll be able to put the Ruben centre in if I'm chasing more release. I'll probably grab some Ruben side fins later when they become available

Shapers Fins - 6" Performance - 2+1
Designed by Shapers Longboard Team Riders (and proven favourite between them) the 6.0? Performance Fin is designed to match the latest movement in progressive longboarding. The 6.0? and matching side fins have an slightly more upright shape to give the board a responsive feel with plenty of drive and control. An excellent all-round template. That turns tight, sharp and bite of a thruster but still allows for nose-riding.
Side Fins:
Base: 4.4" (113mm)
Depth: 4.6" (117mm)
Sweep: 31 degrees
Foil: I.F.T(InnerFoilTechnology)
Rear Fin:
Base: 4.8" (122mm)
Depth: 6" (152mm)
Sweep: 30 degrees
Foil: 50/50

Shapers Fins - 5.5" Ruben Roxburgh - 2+1 Bamboo Inlay
Designed by Ruben Roxburgh, The 5.5? RR Pro Series is designed for progressive longboarding and HP boards. That provides the drive & bite of a thruster but still allows for nose-riding.

Depth: 4.52" (115mm)
Sweep: 33 degrees
Foil: I.F.T(InnerFoilTechnology)
