Give some thought to a Seabreeze Torquay Escape boys.... I can supply Longboards.... All you would need to do is get to Avalon Airport, bring "rubber" and a jumper (even some summer evenings feel chilly for Queenslanders....)
I have a fairly high volume Brewer 9'6, for Vanders.
The lower volume Billy Hamilton Stylist Round / Round Pin 9'6 for Mac
Billy Hamilton Hyperform 9'1....
McTavish Involvement 9'4.
Billboard can borrow my Merrick 6.1 x 16"1/2 x 2 Tow Board.

I should have an EvoII soon enough too.
Plus Torquay has a few sweet little bars and pubs, cheap beer at the supermarket, but we could splurge out on Otways Beer. Hell, I'll even drink sweet old Bundy if Mac pays!
Lock in to some late afternoon cheap flights, so we kick-off with Beers & Bundy at the start! I'll send the wife up to Melbourne.
