Pretty crazy down at Middleton this morning. Maris and Geoff took it on. A couple of older blokes took seniors' privilege and watched on...






























... peaking at 43kts round about the time the pix were taken...

haha thanks Kev
i got a custom made copy (its green) because the old one's more fresh air than fabric. new ones good but but old faithfuls still more comfortable.... and it occurred to me i m locked into the old one, theres no way to get it off quick......... not sure if this matters??????

spent the arvo with Rossy .... current boards going great; next development adds a bit of rocker to tighten bottom turn arc- boards are super qucik so plenty of speed to sacrifice for turining and add a bit more control too-even tho got p\lenty now- wide point easing forward to get more drive off rail off bottom, fraction more v in tail and thats about it. they are like a skate board off top- unreal
takin em to wa for january.
oh yeah and trying new epoxy glass construction- stronger styro, no vacuum, quicker cheaper build.

if anyone wants old boards, first in best dressed - 83 to m93 L got a few and old protos - only when new ones are ready tho. reality is old boards are probably better all rounders as faster and still turn great

how yours go in maui???
