Ok Chrispy what are your dims (height weight etc)

In my opinion thats a massive board for you. If you were fat and unfit I would say yes but you arnt.

Like I said thats my opinion.

I thought chrispy'd prefer a red to a green.

But the creche 1 is funny, took a few days but someone took the bait. Doggies reply was perfect 2 I mean where is that guys sense of humour, it had about 6 smiley faces under it

You can put that up its just an out line, I would like to see it

Im 6.0 and 82.5kg so similar in dims. My FireWire is 6,4 x 18 13/16 x 2 1/2 and that foats me no probs at all. My channel bottom is smaller 6,3 x 19 x 2 1/2 and its my fave board by a long shot. I cant help but think its too big for you. I rode an Al Merrick Semi Pro that my mate bought the other day, its 6,6 x 20 1/2 x 2 3/4 from memory. Easy to surf but I would need a paddle to turn the bloody thing!!

Btw I like the Pink Floyd art work idea cant wait to see that

Mate Murray is a great shaper and Ive had a board off him, it was a off the rack board tho (great board, it was Brooko round tail quad 6,4 x 19 1/4 x 23/8). I just think for your ability you might be selling yourself a bit short there.
My mates Semi Pro has big rails (he is 10-15kgs heavier than me) and for the love of god I find it hard to turn. Wave count is high and its easy to surf. The fun factor for me is once Im on a wave I want the board to do what I want.
Im not in it for the wave count and Im content to sit and wait for the right waves but that thats me and Im guessing we are not the same person

All in all I dont think Murray would lead you down the garden path and I would say his rail profile for someone your weight would be quiet low sharp rails

Just a thought

those silver bullet dimensions are all right for chrispy. it's the general configuration of that board. it hasn't been blown up or anything weird

Nice work Chrispy. Congrats on the new stick!!! I have been riding a silver bullet the last month and I reckon that you will be fine with the rails. If this is the shortest board that you have had then in my opinion its best to keep more than less volume. I hear what you are saying Doggie - but I view it the opposite - maybe because I spent too long living in Manly with the crowds!! When I put my order in with Muz I told him what I thought I wanted and he made some changes based on the what I told him and made some suggestions that I would never had thought about. I am firmly behind his design ideas. Disclaimer - have owned one of his before and been riding two others the last month.

Yeah I guess Muz has the gift of the gab. He's also a very good shaper.

LL has probably had more boards from him than me I reckon even though I worked for him 3 times and still deal with him regularly.

I'd love to get some more of his boards.... If I could afford them.
