I saw this board being surfed this morning, I doubt there would be 2 the same.

The pilot had it motoring along real well.

There seems to be a lot of Wilde equipment at that point break. All of them noseriders and most with glassed on fins, often in a wide based hatched shape.

Seems like the guy has the template nailed down real well.

I'm so tempted to give them a call.

He makes a nice board that's for sure - don't ring him just head over to his factory.

He does make some great stuff. Hat's off Shaun Wilde.

He's one of a dying breed of shaper glasser's isn't he?

yes, I've never seen a dud Wilde.

There was a guy in yesterday with a completely un-tinted or coloured one. It's perhaps the only one I can ever recall seeing without colour, and it still looked good.

Another thing that was encouraging was a guy out there on a CJ Nielsen Arrow who looked about my size and he was managing to hang on the nose for a bit. It's a boards that I've considered getting.

I remember once asking him about it and he said he liked it but couldn't turn the bugger.

I reckon if I can turn my 10'6" I could tun just about anything

That he is - it's good to see guys like Jordie Brown picking up the reigns and continuing the tradition as well.
