The only downfall IMO is the deck can get bumpy, But I am 120 Kg's but at 75 Kg's you should be ok.

2 x 6oz with an extra 4oz patch

Or stop eating pies

cRAZY,
I want to turn the thing without the assistance of a couple of Brissy river tugs

Doggie,

Ok then Nacho's it is

I'm 105 kgs ride a custom McT UFO 903 x 23 x 3 and this thing is like riding a shortboard,if you want real HP talk to the guy's at the factory,they will sort
one out for your weight[}:)]

Yep, happy as a pig in mud - fantastic waves, fantastic company and not a whiney longboarder in sight - doesn't get any better than that - oh, and I've no need to watch glee - if I wanna see understated, natural talent I need only look around my local lineup when our crew is out

As an ALLROUNDER - I feel that the fireball is a far superior board for the average surfer. I can get a fireball rocking in any surf from 1 to 10ft (well used to be able to) whereas I had no joy at all on the G&S in knee to waist high surf and could only really get it firing in solid waves of maybe chest high or better. I have actually seen a coupla mates surf the G&S in crazy waves at the alley and the board was sooooooo fast and held on where many high performance boards would have just been sucked up the face and belted - a real suprise packet in rhe right hands. I think if you want a very traditional log (ish) kinda board that can handle serious waves (if you can) then the G&S is a gem - BUT if you want a forgiving, fun board that will cruise all day in 6inch whitewash or comfortably destroy double overhead waves (again obviously in the right hands) then the fireball is just an easy to live with board that will never let you down no matter what you ask of it. IMHO anyway.
