totally rapt in the puffer5 .however on the more hard core top to bottom beachies 'im looking for something narrower with a bit more rocker

all these boards feature a bump in the outline about were the side fin is. the board below is the bushranger. reasonably hi level thruster

the lone ranger is a bit softer all round including the 'bump'. in real life you can really see the bump. the al merrick new flyer has the same kind of thing. all three boards have a single to double with a spine in the double


my question is should I go the hardcore or moderate board to match the puffer5


thxs in advance for any half serious answers

hmmmmm reckon a visit to your favourite shaper for a sweet custom is your go Lacey knickers

Can you Qlders turn down those colours please!!!

Saw one that has filtered down here today ....... Grotesque hi viz has infiltrated surfing ..... Keep it in the construction industry please .


Sorry LL .... Nothing further ............ It just reminded me .....

Then you will have to go hardcore and then tell us the score

they are almost the same shape as my single with the chanells. i would like that board shape done as a quad....

lacey,go the lone ranger. think you will regret having the puffer and the allrounder. also that lone ranger board is not the full pro hpsb,more a normal human being hpsb of fun

still in two minds. have to sell the wombat first thing buddy. also I was going to get a lightweight wombat but I reckon the puffer covers all small to ordinary wave situations.




I tell you one thing. its a hell of a lot cheaper then switching 666's

The Rusty Slayer is a good option its got wide point under chest like those MR's but with a much more pulled in tail,rounded pin,thruster set up,must say the Bushranger looks good.Id get that before the loneranger

Ahhhhh mate just snap it up - sell the others when ya ready & still get some froff simmering

Lacey,

The hip or bump as you as you call it is a funny one.

I myself notice it the most when pulling a big cuttie on my forehand. It's like doing a 2 stage turn. When you first start to lean into the turn and bury the rail it feels
Normal, but then when you wash off a bit more speed and make that tight arc in the turn it will for a split second slide or skip into transition from rail to tail. Then when all the weight goes to the tail. It feels normal again. Its just that split second where you can really notice the hip doing its thing.

This is only my own personal experiance / take on it.
First board I had with it felt a bit different but, Once I got used to it I actually liked it.

Don't worry about the width or lack of rocker but as there is enough meat around the chest area to get you onto the wave a little earlier anyway.

Hope this helps??
Also have a look at some of the JS range.

Go hard or go home. Bushranger gets my vote. Can you please get one a touch bigger than normal so I can get it off you in a few months

truth be known Ted ... he's probably already got it in the shed whore for life that lad

Lacey its only early on in for 2015 and already your the board purchaseing bitch

Other than that I've got nothing

Quote your opening comment "totally rapt with the puffer" (however)

Lacey you know as well as I do,once you start thinking about it,its pretty much game over
Anyway just woke to the best swell out the front see you cool cats soon

Hi Lacey, as surfer i'll take to myself the flyer which is the more radical board of the three board shown, she is a classic with the concaves emphasizing hips while coming out from them. I think this Flyer to radical for you whatever its size. Lokie made an extra description of its typical functionality.
So take the lone ranger in a right size for you, moderate board rather than Flyer model but still hips and secure rail as well but more radical than the puffer5 looking like a pop out board and nothing attractive, except logo.
Whatever you choose, have fun laceys

Later on, take one those twins behind

The pop out puffer5 as you call it is probably the fastest carving board ive ever been on. Is shaped by mr, has that slight bump /hip. One of the better boards ive ever brought. Sure its not sleek looking

How would you knew the nf is too radical for me

I used to ride mick fanning models so I think ill be ok

The bushranger interests me. In real life it probably has mire bumo/hip then the nf.

The nf nose shape im not that keen on but it is nice.

you are a stirrer mr kami.
lockie I know what you mean. The puffer has that feel theough a cutback. The zip is nice. Gives you something for the rebound

Ok, follow your search cannot help you , sorry. Hoops, flip board on bottom side view with fins on , it's much better to make up mind about surfboards

Just as a matter of interest ive know and done a fair amount of work for cooly surf.

Everyone thinks the puffer looks the goods for that type of board. The owner of the chain of shops likes it. They all know me and wanted the feedback. There is lot of wide boards out there that just have crazy ugly designs

Damo the manager has order one for himself now. Ive had a fair board buying work relationship with him for must be getting to ten years now.

I know everyone says this about new boards but call Call him Lacey, he is the nicest bloke and would be happy to chat about boards with you.

I've surfed with Neil across the road from the Alex shop plenty of times since he opened that one. I'm always running way more volume than him though.

Gold Tux. Although he did have a Keeper in the Nano at one point - even if was riding it about 10 litres to big ! I think he should take a Vader for a spin first and report back about how he feels. I get the feeling that one of those will be suitable for anything that LL wishes to ride that the ocean throws up.

I can not wait to get my hands on one.
