That’s what I originally wanted but they didn’t have the size. The Psycho Killer is the new version.

It looks super fun. Keen to hear the ride report. Ordered a DHD Black Diamond off Boardcave as wanted an all rounder for Sydney. Doing the old "ride the same board when the waves are similar btw 2-5ft" routine.

I felt up a BD. They only had a 6’2 so it was pretty beefy. Still a nice shape though.

Stacks under the chest for sure. Am a little worried the rail might not be low enough too, but we'll see. Good big boy shorty all rounder. Think it's about 36 litres. I'm 97 kegs so the extra in the rail might be a good thing.

Almost grabbed a Killer so keen to hear.

Interesting little vid on Gravelle’s entry in an upcoming ASL board test, lotta flex.
NC will you be involved?
https://www.facebook.com/gravellesurf/v ... 944886171/
nah I'm not an ASL guy any more

I dunno how that level of flex works with the fin plugs -- plugs don't flex.

I had a Pyzel Ghost. My Bribie mate came and claimed it and won't give it back.

btw, I am shocked at how well the glassing on that board has held up.

it's been fcukikng punished. Thrown in the back of the bus, no cover. cyclone swells. big close-out beach breaks, rocky points.
(close to)A year later it hasn't even got a foot dent in it.

Not sure what the lam was.

The Fat Bullet has a fantastic glass job. I read somewhere Muz puts the matting on with the weave diagonal.

Thought the same. High, fat rail turned me off the quiver killer.

I did, but was looking at the QK for the same reason. A bit more in the rail. Now I'm a bit anxious it's going to surf too flat without much bite (even for me) but pretty sure it will be a fast turner for small to medium sized waves. I haven't seen any clips of people riding the Black Diamond. Probs a meat and potatoes everyday board
