Just general surfing stuff

[Davros]

Seriously, I just struggle with the concept that a surftech, FW even a ghost shaped CI retails for more than hand shaped boards from guys who have been shaping for 20-40 years such as DVS, Simon Jones, Jack Knight etc. I think the technology, R&D etc is just bs, surf snapper & you will see hundreds of punters struggling on the latest CI or JS so they clearly don't improve your surfing.

I've seen Board Agency DVS's for 600 in surf shops, they can't shift the things. People don't seem happy with the Board Agency materials or maybe it's just a bargain that is over looked.

Board Agency's epoxies are strong and light, second only to the original Surftech Tuflite construction, but thats a distant second though

Wicks Collaroy now. Don't get any longer than a 5'8 they are fat little buggers. They have one in 5'8 and few others.

Its people like you who have ruined the market for me and that other guy who still buy them.

I dont think i could go lower then 6'0. Too big snd clumsy

[Davros]

Trust me on this one. But I think they have a 6 in any case

[Beanpole]

At least yours will last Cranky.
I didn't mind the roundhouse cutbacks the boards were doing but he's got a very unfortunate style. Also riding a very different part of the wave to most other riders. Well ahead of the lip. I guess in big full waves you could have fun on one. A lot of big boards would easily outperform that though. Have a look at anyone good on a high performance mal.

Mad wasps?

Aye

You'll double your wave count. Look I know people will say this, that and the other about short fun fish. But unless you are very serious about performance just go and enjoy yourself and these things are fun.

[Drailed]

Mate, I have a quiveof fun boards, your preaching to the converted.

[Davros]

I know. Not preaching, encouraging. Anyway let us know how you go.

[Drailed]

My board racks are full... where the fcck am I gonna put it.. for $600 though...

[Nick Carroll]

I have just returned from Drailed's natural home, Avalon, where a board swap/display/valuation day is going on

A day that would have fed shearer's darkest suspicions about the bourgeoisie.

[Beanpole]

Bummer....I've got a couple I could have put up.

[Drailed]

I saw you were speaking there Nick. God there is some fcckn guff about old boards isnt there.

Lennox would be like Avalon if more of its residents had jobs and got off the dole.

[Nick Carroll]

I think not, Avalon is a special place - a place like Washington DC, where satire has lost its footing in the wake of events

Maybe like Veep
