Don't like the mondo?

I Like the look....but the one I had wasn't great....actually the other 11 ive had( still own 2) were better.

The supermal is great fun from weaker Crescent waves to the grunt of Anga.

Smartboards in beachies,Coral reefers for rock and coral(obviously)...these are what I own.

But also had stealth and a fish(which didn't swim but ripped grunty stuff).

My wife chose it.... I call it the technicoloured spread eagle.

Oh and that's just a blanket thrown over the lounge for a bit of contrast

Still got a Smarty, great board, but might go a little more 'middle aged man' for the next one.

I remember the bloke from Aloha Manly Style tried to see me a Smartboard about 10 years ago as a bigger guy board, he described it as the "gourmet" of boards. I still laugh about that sales pitch to this day.

Admittedly they are really well made boards. Super refined, right up your alley

Always thought about getting one

and that decal is orgasmic.

6'0 x 19.6 x 2.52

The decal is one that he used about 30 years ago when he first started shaping.

The man is a true legend of the industry

My word.

As this is the quiver thread, my PCC quiver consists of this above 6'0 shorty, a 6'1 single, a 6'8 single, and a 7'7 single. Had a few others in between but I didn't like them. My fault for asking for too much foam.

Only before the glass goes on, noticeable flex comes with the carbon tail.WHOOSH, the speed and drive is truly TURBO!

I haven't ridden or owned "the ultimate in flex" as Mitchell describes a V2 + carbon tail but from all reports they GO!...you only need a couple of grand to get one.

Anyone know about board rentals in Fiji?
I'm going over for a wedding and its hand luggage only.

I'd have a massive quiver.

The two McCoy Zots have been working out really well for me since I had them converted to quads.

My wave count has gone up significantly. The 6'8 works really well in head and a half and I see no reason it won't handle double. The 6'1 is easily duck divable and will probably work in the same wave range but the 6'8 has a lot more paddle power.

Thanks surfy, I imagine you'd need a reasonably clean, lined up wave as well as the two grand to truly make best use of the carbon flex tail. Might be a bit of an overkill on a 2-3ft beachie????

Still, his boards are beautiful & I love the wolf outline, the outline looks similiar to my Campbell Bros pod.

saltman wrote:It feels good when things come together after tweaking your board

Agreed, I recently put a bamboo bonzer fin (thanks Batoes!) into my pod & moved it 1 cm further forward than where the previous fin was positioned & the difference is incredible. It feels faster through turns but also loosened the 5 fin cluster up. Stoked, I have a new board!
