Karate Man,

Can you please pass on an equiry to SDR next time you see him. I am looking for something like my 7'10 x 21 3/4 x 3 Uf8 shrunk into a 7'6 and a bit more lively of the tail but remembering I'm 95kgs and weak as water (you have seen how much foam there is that FireWire I have). This will be a beach break and bigger point break board. The UF8 goes great but I'm looking for a bit more versatility in the next one. Maybe a cross between the UF8 and a Carver as I am tempted to get another Carver. Checked out some more traditional shortboards but i now now conceded those days have passed Smaller days I will be on the FW or a longboard.

It's difficult ATM to get to the factory between Mon & Fri and don't want to order over the phone as I want the shaper to see the UF8. I'll catch up hopefully next Sat but can't send the photos by PM. I might leave the uf8 with you to show him.

Cheers


the uf8





Maybe something a bit more like my old 8ft Carver which surfed well but paddled like a dog! (apologies to the forum k9's)

Daneli,
A 9'6 Single Fin Pintail will solve most of your issues.
A fair dinkum Longboard!
Did I mention how much I love Longboarding?!
Thanks,
Simondo

Simondo are you on new medication

No Mac, I ran out!

In all seriousness Daneli, perhaps the Carver's rounded square (semi-squash) and Thruster fin spread is the thing that you like.

I think the Carver is designed to keep your feet fairly static, and minimal walking, but even the 8 foot longboards are designed with a bit of walking to the front in mind. Different fin clustering also.

Fo me, I've always liked singles, and 2+1. But maybe you're a thruster man...

Just throwing it out there.

daneli,at the beer garden bbq at the house off del rosso, you will get to the board i am getting,the same as you are after. after surfing the 9'1 i have,i cant wait to get this new in some straddie carnage

I think you right Simondo. I've never been interested in walking a longboard although I do move around a bit on the UF8.
