I had a Ray Gleave until recently - great fun to ride.. incredible glide! However I wasn't a fan of the 3 stage rocker and the nose was a little flat. You needed to ride it like only Ray Gleave can. Has anyone ridden a Carver Fish? Not interested in how it went as a 5 finner.. more as a Thruster and...

Best I've had yet... O'Neill Psycho and Gooru - By a long shot!!

Just picked up an Xcel Inifinity Drylock 4/3 for winter - Big dollars, hope its worth it!

Yep - It was awesome!

Not sure about that actual wetsuit.. other than they are made by Ripcurl. I am up for a new 4/3 this winter.. and unfortunately I am tallish, so finding a wetsuit that fits well proves to be quite difficult. I usually go for an O'Neill, but can't find my size anywhere! Hence, I am looking at an XCEL...

Absolutely nothing - once you try it you can't go back!

Wearing an O'Neill Gooru you feel nude - fantastic!

Well that turned out well :? It's working out well for me. :wink: Anyway, I am still digesting the options.. and have a couple more shapers to call. Having said that, I am considering the following: 1. 9'6" Stylemaster or Nosea or Insight or ??? 2. 9'4" G&S D.Willson It appears that people have iss...

Wet board in bag = wet bag = smelling bad = where ever you store the board, smelling bad.. make sense?

Then.. girlfriend / wife complains about boards (and wetsuit) smelling bad = less chance of getting more boards!

There is a much bigger picture than you think!!

Thanks for all the responses!

After many calls to shapers and reading the above.. I think I have narrowed it down to what suits my needs and wants.

Cheers

Morning all.. Over the past 6 months I have cleared out the boards I am no longer interested in, and I am putting a bit more thought into rebuilding the quiver - rather than random purchases! I am after 2 No new longboards which will be surfed on points and fat beach breaks here in Vicco.. 1. 9'6" o...

must be someone else down there keen, where are SDA and yumotha ??? both said were keen but no response to PM's ....let us know boys ... :?: 8) The board may be a tad small for me.. however maybe next weekend, pending surf conditions! I can't this weekend, as I'm heading down the Surfcoast with the...

Yep - works fine!

Never had a problem.. yet! Touch wood!!

Awesome - I have been trying to track down one of those for a while! I spoke with the distributor, and he said that he was no longer importing them!

Where did you get it from? Is there anywhere on the Gold Coast that stocks them - as I am heading up there this weekend!?

A mate of mine has booked a surf trip up to the Gold Coast for the both of us.. :D but unfortunately via Jetstar. As you may or may not know, Jetstar do not take boards which are over 6'6" long. I ride a 7'0" Miller Powerglide & a 9'5" McTavish Ray Gleave and he rides a 7'4" Wayne Dean big boy short...

It is worth going down to the national park for a walk.. Go as far as you can and you will see a crew out there! It's at least 100-200m offshore, but you'll get the idea.

Who distributes Boardworks surfboards in Australia? Also does anyone know who stocks them in Victoria?

Cheers

Same here.. just don't call it that.. call it a mid length and suddenly it is cool!

I think a 8 footer with a medium rocker would be fantastic in larger point waves and beach breaks where the 9'+ board would be too much of a handful.

CBD to 13th or Torquay - About 1 hour 20 mins (both totally dependant on Geelong traffic!) CBD to Gunnamatta - About 1 Hour 40 mins It is good living in near the city as you get choice of which coast to go to.. it doesn't matter what size swell.. and aslong as you don't get a southerly to easterly w...
