steve I've damaged mine. Twice.

What did you do?

When I picked mine up with the fine foil I thought it would be in 2 pieces within weeks.

Does yours have the TC glasshouse sticker on the tail?

Maybe stop being a kook.

There was a quiver of Outer Island boards at a local surf shop, 6'6/8/10 and 7'0/2/4/6. Around 20" wide and 2.7 to 3" thick.

All made locally with good glass and pretty good sprays. All new and on sale for about $600 at the recent exchange rate.

If I was rolling in money I'd go 6'8, 7' and 7'6 and give them a try. Thats just $1800!

I would keep my McCoys though.

I thought he was selling boards for $1200

No split V stringers.

Which shop? Hmmm. From the new, almost done, underpass, going towards legian, on the road that becomes jalan sunset, its the first big surfshop on the left. Its about 2-3k from the underpass.

Cheap 6'4 split v stringer at Pt Maquarie bit battered and deck sunken on tail area listed at $250 ono
Be o.k. for $150 -$200

Picked up my Psycho Killer. 33 litres which is the most foam I’ve had in a shortboard, but beautifully foiled. Doesn’t look or feel chunky at all which I found with some of the other brands. Construction just feels quality for a mass produced board. Can’t wait to deflower her.

Ha!! Got my Black Diamond today. Feels a lot lighter than the ones in the shop. Looks fast. Gonna whack some AM2's in it.

No surf tomorrow.

Nice. What dims?

Maybe no surf for a few days at least. Always the way.

Saltman, 7'0 outer island just listed at Sanbah surf Newy V stringer $500

I watched JJF at Margs 2017 today. Christ the pinny he was riding was looking insane

Rode the Black Diamond in 1-2ft. So hard to tell. Rides like you'd expect with its semi egg shape. Bit of flow, turns fine with the tinned out tail but takes a little while to get to the top of the wave with the rail. Good meat and potatoes all rounder.

This board wouldn't have been sold 12-15 years ago due to its ease of use. The fact it's in a Performance range is a bit of a marketing con. Like it though.

Nice.
