bonzers.....the quad fad is over

[steve shearer]

Love to get a Russ Short, a mini-merk and a section connector.

This looks interesting. (it's off Rhinos blog)

A 7'6" egg with Russ nose. My reality after recovering from shoulder surgery will be boards like this for a fair while.

Had my Octafish out at the Point this last swell.
Judging by the hoots people were enjoying seeing this little board go Mach 5 on some well OH to DOH walls. Just keep putting it up on the high-line at top speed and slicing the top off it like a can opener.

I'm getting a 7'4" off josh which will be similar in outline. Longish, wide but not too wide and pulled in round tail, an injured kooks all rounder hahah.


Not a bonzer though

Picking this bumblebee up from Soul Surf tomorrow, just in time for a weekend of offshore winds. Can't f**ken wait...

[Drailed]

Nice, is that a second hand or new?

[StayPuft]

It's second-hand. I borrowed batoes' board for a couple of waves the other day and was intrigued, so when this popped up for sale later the same day, I figured the universe was telling me to buy a bumblebee. It's 5'8" x 20 3/4" x 2 9/16" which is a shorter than I'd normally go, but... I'm hoping it will serve well in Syd beachies from knee- to head-high.

that 7'8" Sector connector has got ten foot lennox Point written all over it.

I nearly got a Russ Short about 5 years ago. I love the look of it. But as I don't live at Lennox head I didn't see the point of it. The other Bonzer options that would suit the majority of waves I surf wouldn't go as good as the boards I ride, so it goes.

[steve shearer]

I'd be happy to store that Russ Short here for you so you could have it available for holidays.

The one thing I've noticed with bonzers in video footage is how they bottom turn. They appear to get heaps of speed once they have turned and seem to turn well on the face but they look like they lag a bit in that category. Any thoughts?

[andy2476]

I missed the boat, can't get a deal anymore, although Juan would probably give me a bit off but not enough.

[steve shearer]

Lay by?

[Beanpole]

Funny the first time I thought I would really like to have a 7' board again was after surfing Lennox for the first time.

I'm not paying that much for a surfboard no matter how long ive got to pay it.
