Re: Templates & Rules - Stolen from another forum!

Can I suggest a template.. It’s a forum, SDC, not a quorum... you can suggest all you want, but don’t hold your breath. Fair enough.. I guess this forum doesn't get much traffic.. and most of the people on this forum know how to put a sentence or two together.. and don't talk in sms / text talk. (D...

Another vote on the Powerglide

I am about 90kg and have a 7'0" Powerglide.. I've only had 2 surfs on it, but with a bit of practice, I reckon I could pull a cheaky 5 on it.

Thanks for the info guys! However, I have ordered a board from Grant Miller. I will get another year of experience under my belt before looking at something like this.. but in a smaller size than a 7'2". From what I have heard and read, it appears as though once you make a board too big - it loses a...

Just had a read of your original post SDA, and my experience for summer junk is that you really need three fins for the junk, the extra squirt will get as much power as possible out of the minmal sections of power you are presented with. Thanks for you replies everyone! So would I be on the right t...
