Damn that Bonzer you sould me feels good Tootr.

Got that fin today Batoes... Bot many open sections for turns but it felt good. Fast and drivey with some nice flex in the bottom turn

I rode my octafish in well overhead solid point surf today. Loving pushing it outside of it's comfort range.
Got pitched on one set wave and then the next got a no hands backside tube at top speed right across the outside section.

Just ordered a PB Bonzer Nomad, no Venturi system but it's a little different with a concave deck, meant to be fun, ridden short, 6ft, my usual boards for everyday are 6'2-6'4.

Be sure to post some pics & ride report Davros. I ve only seen one on Instagram but they look a sweet ride

Batoes here is a hypothetical, you can only have one bonzer either the MLV or BB, what would u choose & why?

That's a tough one...

I think based on the waves i surf, the BB is a better daily driver. The ease of the fin placement - 7 inch at 5 3/4 and you can ride it from waist to head high in a range of conditions means it is a solid choice.

BUT, the MLV is such a fun board. It has a really distinctive feel in its ride - the flow and glide of the single, long drawn out turns and incredible speed. Best at knee to shoulder height, clean and lined up with some curve.

For me - i really enjoy both - but there is something pure about the MLV and i would choose that. I have a few other boards that would be considered daily drivers that compete with the BB. The MLV with 3 fin and light vehicle bottom is the shizzle and purely in its own class.

But - it ain't for everyone!

Sounds like the MLV is a point break demon & I shouldnt deny myself such pleasure! So when is Malcolm due? Its bonzer season!

[batoes]

Yep - i reckon you've got your high performance boards covered - the MLV is pure fun. Hell, even finless, it's fun!

Thats a nice way to explain a new purchase to the Minister of War & Finance, not sure if she will understand but I ll plant the seed!

Finally got around to starting the bonzer order. Went for a reasonably contemporary shape, just with the wide point pushed 3" forward of center. 6'5" x 20" x 2 1/2".

Did a bit of tint work, which I've never really done much of. Came out alright, looks a lot better in the flesh than in the pics.

Looks like the flames from a Marvel
Comic. Untold.

Love the outline, the fin placement looks more forward than stock bonzers.
Is that a conscious decision or just the angle of the photo?

Sexy board.

the gloss coat gives me the 'orn. it's perfect.

Diamonds always seem to look right on bonzers.

[batoes]

Looks sweet!

[Cuttlefish]

That's a great looking board Tim.
Reminds me of one of my old faithfuls, a MC 7T diamondtail that I rode with just such a set up.
What about sourcing a True ames bonzer centre fin for it?
