Hmm...I'd love to try a traditional keel fin fish just to see how fast they really are.

Like one of these suckers?
Answer - pretty fast but only cause they don't have much rocker or centre fin drag. IMO.

Sweet looking board black duck. Even with a bit more modern rocker they still fly, but you can turn em too!!

Im trying to settle a backpay issue at work at the moment. When ( or IF, they're going very slowly!!! ) it comes through, i've got my eye on a bat tail fishy quad.

Flying is right !I'd be a happy boy after a ride like that.
Maybe I'm a bit slow , but does everyone realize you can watch the vid by clicking on the picture ?

Jesus that's fast, love the way he outruns the wave then comes back for a bit more of it.

If I had the money I would talk to Billy Tolhurst and get him to make me a new mal, maybe 9'2" - 9'4" to take me into my twilight years. My current Tolhurst which I have had years has been a cracker and I already have a Miller powerglide.

I'm due to get my new 8'6" today, just in time for Sunday morning which is shaping as the ideal day to test it out

[RickyG]

8'6''? You're a longboarder in denial mate

Nah this baby is just for a couple of breaks I like to surf that happen to be a fair paddle away at some outer reefs.

The 7' wasn't making the trip out easy nor was it contending well with mal riders, goaters and those SUP fcukers that are out there as well

[RickyG]

^^Fair enuff, just havin' a dig

Try and post a pic when you get it (I imagine 8'6'' is too big to do a scaled-up shortboard so it'd be interesting to see it)

Big Left at Flinders possibly?

Yep

One of my favorite surf spots, next to Gunnamatta of course. My 7' goes great out there but the paddle and the competition makes it pretty damn tough; I'm not built like a pro-surfer so hopefully this should give me the extra paddle power and earlier take-off that I need. I'll also use it on really small gutless days if the mood strikes but the 7' will always be the main board, especially for Gunna where it goes brilliantly.

next board will hopefully be a Tyler 'Point' model bought in person from El Segundo...
