What is it??

It's Not as nice as Drips...



That is a seriously good looking board drip, has she been wet yet??
And what fins are on it?

Thank you. The more I have looked at it, compared to the eight footer, the cleverer I think Mark Ogram is.


I haven't surfed it yet. Today would have been the day, but I am fasting as I have some surgery tomorrow and don't think it would be a wise thing to exhaust myself on top of that.

The fins are Wayne Lynch fins apparently. The single is 7'3/4". It's what Mark recommended with the 8' too. I tried a couple of different fins in the 8 and finished up using his set up, so I just ran with them again. I am not sure of the size of the side fins but will throw a tape measure on them later today. They are significantly smaller than FCS GXs though as they were one of the alternatives I tried.

Yeah the main one I persevered with was more raked and with a bigger tip. I found it wasn't as fast and, while it did turn sharper (a local who surfs single fins recommended it to me as a tighter turning fin) it was more of a longboard style pivot turn which wasn't what I was after on an 8' semi-gun. I wanted it to go on rail and maintain momentum through the turns. The FCS GX fins did that, but once again they were slower and I really like that speed and forward projection of a pure twinny - I just wanted a bit more hold in bumps and high line runs through really critical sections.

So apparently I like a more upright fin too.

I settled on an inch and half forward in the box and I am starting the 9'6" at one inch forward. When I commented to Mark that my long boarding would come in handy on getting back on the tail he said it shouldn't be necessary so I am looking forward to finding out what he means.

If your anything like me when its gets big enough to ride a board that big your feet and toes are so far curled into the wax as you poo man it to the channel you don't need to move your feet

Doh..that's right. I forgot about that bit.

Sheer terror of "I gotta get outa here I gotta get out of here."

Ain't no cross stepping back happening then.

Try this thread for "New Boards", plural:

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Surfing/Longboarding/New-boards/?page=9

This thread was meant to be about a "New Board" - singular and mine.

Speaking of which, hopefully I get I ride it soon. Monday - Wednesday is looking pretty solid and if the wind stays true south the first two days it should get a few practice runs on a few six footers as a crowd controller, before hitting a Bombie on Wednesday and snagging some eight footers.


Yeeeewwwww!!!! Stoked, pumped, excited, nervous.

Oh I'm so sorry I got confused between the two new board threads.
I guess you don't like your thread hi jacked.

Once these pages were ruled by a saying "Pictures or it didn't happen"

Please feel free to re vitalise that rule with any or lots of photos from your first surf

OGGY still making a dam fine board....

Another Great KIWI shaper

Not only a good shaper, the guy is one of the best glassers I've come across. Early 90's his Mals were the finest finished in the land. Very very tidy.

Is anyone riding an asphalt longboard?

I road one once.
Boom, tish.
I'm here all week.
