Very nice clip, agree some smooth turns on the big boards, the ride different down there compared to the LB crew up here,differebt styles altogether.

How so?

I've not made such a claim, nor will I ever have the skillset to do so.

the blokes up here are more aggressive SP,I guess a different type of wave.

I do like the glide of those boards... and you gave me a good reason to look at that great old Skip Frye clip again. And the Ryan Birch one.

^^^ Never get sick of watching those clips.

Yeah probably has a lot to do with it. A lot more curve in the goldy point waves..

Interesting to see what type of LBing is the most popular at different locations.

Great looking board . But im guessing will have some weight in there.


Looks like a real shoulder cruncher. deep heavy power strokes to get up and going
But once your going all good

Will do

My mate got sick of waiting for me to buy the 11 foot munoz, so that adventure will have to be put on hold...however based on what I've read on some old greenroom threads & comments from respected members. I'm fully stoked to present to you my new board. A near on new condition 9 foot Tolhurst tuflight. This thing has some seriously sexy looking bottom contours & the rails on the back end look wicked. Quite thin in the back, doubt any part of the board is even 3 inches thick. But she feels uber strong. Guessing its probably 6 or 7 years old but she looks near new. Can't wait to get in the water

I've had that exact board. .BT109 and they are a great board IMO.
Some may tut tut being a Tuflite board but that one is brilliant, even Bill has said he's unable to replicate it in PU.

Looks good Mick,kept in nice condition to

Agree with Al. Looks in great condition.

And great looking outline.
Let us know how it goes..

You never know how much you liked her until she's gone. With about 33% of your cash. Still cheaper than a divorce.

oh fark mate

Sorry to read that BnB

Cheers guys, yes heard/read nothing but good things about the board. Apparently even Billy himself loved the tuflight & rode or rides that when he rides a longboard. I honestly didn't know much about the man other than the board brand until I was researching the board (interesting bloke). Most info in regard to the tuflight's is up until 2014, so not current. The new carbon boards he's making, the Ingleby series look sick & I like how they've colour coded different board constructions, thats pretty cool.

I'm thinking the boards like 9'0 x 22 x 2.5, significantly less volume than my 9'4 whalebone. Fairly light, epoxy but more rocker. So not gonna paddle into waves & glide as well. Should have very noticeable lower swingweight, coz its shorter & lighter. Plus that extra rocker should help get me into & out of more critical positions on the wave...maybe haha. Whalebone has similar distinc bottom contours & knifey round tail. Tolly is bit thinner & a bit sharper I think....both allrounder boards, same same, but different. Really excited to get on it, but not expecting it to go as well as the whalebone in small conditions, I think its more of a step up performance longboard. For bigger waves, but probably good on beachies too.

As a bonus it came with this cool looking fin about 8 or 9 inches, I will probably try some time next winter when the tides rise. Too low this time of year, I'm likely to damage it and the fin box getting tempted into a racey section across the reef. I've put Asher Pacey rear quad sides on & a Ruben Roxburg 5.5 inch on the back. See how that goes, think with the knifey rails that will be heaps in most conditions, other wise I have a shapers 6 inch performance set that would probably go good too

Moved it on in the quest of the perfect board, which was at the time a McT () 8ball..which I really like.
But then I tried to buy it back and the guy wouldn't sell....so I bought the yellow Tolly Point Break that's a page back.

Mick that cutaway fin is what Billy liked to put in his boards all the time..carbon fibre on the Tuflite models and glass on PU..
Billy hasn't surfed for many years now due to knee/hip problem I think but he was a really great surfer along the lines of RG..if you can imagine an ADHD surfer..always moving along the board..pretty to watch.

I had that fin in my FireWire tj and didn't gel with it , it hummed when at speed and felt too stiff if anyone is after one it's theirs for $50 PLUS postage
