Hopefully. Plan is I'll use this as my rehab board til I build back up to where I was pre injury, mostly baby food stuff, but yeah, I went a little narrower and thinner than normal so that when I come good it should work well in decent waves.

6 foot plus, i'd be eating it, no doubt. My confidence in both my knee, my ability, and my surf fitness is completely fkukking shot. This is the biggest board I own now and am hoping to just get back into the loop of regular surfing and building fitness and confidence. Good timing really, I'm hoping to surf like a grom through spring summer and by autumn have some form and fitness under my belt, and some strength back in the knee, then have a crack in autumn.

Think I'll take my 6'9 NPJ Cuttlefish model out today after looking at that board, been on a 6'4 for weeks, might be a bit smaller today..who cares.

Beery that looks great.

could u post a side on shot of the tail/fin area please? Are they fixed fins ? - hard to tell from pic

and tell us a little about the rocker/rails.

My next may be a JD or Mitchell Rae

When it gets here I will :). Fcs plugs mate. Rocker and rails I'll tell you when it's here. Rocker won't be crazy either way, it's not a gun :), though Josh likes rocker, my other boards are small wave boards and they aren't really flat. I feel they don't surf flat anyway. Hope that makes sense. Same with rails, though with the dims I went a little more narrow and thinner than usual so it should be finer than most midlengths, but really I won't know til it gets here.

I've never surfed a Mitchell Rae but they look unreal, no nonsense boards. If I was gunna be tempted by another shaper it'd be an outerisland or a Campbell bros. Stoked with my jds though :)

Absolutely unbelievable! Way better in real life than the pics. Super refined through the rail volume, and volume in general is perfect. Enough but it's not chunky anywhere. Beautifully foiled, looks unreal and feels insane under arm.

This board could handle bigger waves than I'll ever surf it in, I can't wait to surf it!

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
