Geez, the Platypus didn't last long (sorry I'm kinda new around here...LOL).
Why's it gone...ergo shortcomings?
I just scored a basically new (for all intents and purposes) MR Flying fish 6'6" for a very nice price.
It is a Surftech however but I don't care as it's my summer time, crowded beachbreak wave board.
Good to have a board that can be dinged and A: still be watertight and B: be dinged and have nary a concern.
Actually goes pretty good. Had it out yesterday am at Maroochydore in chest to head high peaky stuff running AMT twins and an MR tfx trailer.
Felt too tight in all but the larger of the waves so I've put in a knubster in the fin thruster plug to try tomorrow.
Looks like theres a 6'6" flying fish in the rack behind the Puffer fish in your pic actually.
I once asked Neil (from Coolie surf) which board in his shop he'd recommend to me since we've been surfing Alex at the same time, many times and he was "MRs".
Why the puffer fish and what size did you go for Lacey?
