Its a 9'1 x 18n x 22 x 14t x 3'' jackson. Got it on evilbay. Picked it up and it is almost new!, very happy. I have pics but i can't find the little cord to upload just yet. When i get the cord i'll upload pics. Already had the first logistical nightmare. Its too long to stand upright in the garage, so had to fully rearrange the board rack in the garage to fit it haha. Im busting to surf it. I have a corolla though, so this arvo when the wife gets home i'll see if it fits ( probably not, prob have to buy soft racks :oops: ). If it fits i'll try it tomorrow. Looks like the next few days there'll be some nice swell. Woo hoo!!

Will definately update when i've gotten it wet.

Here it is. Im working night shift tonight, but i'll head out tomorrow morning. Should be something there. I managed to fit it in the corolla. I need to take the centre fin out everytime i surf, but until i get some soft racks, it'll do. If i can pick up a cheap board bag, i'd rather have it in the car.

The 8'' dolphin is the biggest fin i have, but should do alright. Side fins are plastic but i'll leave em in for a bit.

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.

Don't worry about the flower everybody already has an opinion about you now, could get clear space in the line up :shock:

Ha, ha! Great minds think alike. I've suggested the same thing to him over on Swaylocks.
Or you could put a big Rip Curl sticker over the frangipani to :shock: give the right impression......

Didn't mean to steal your thunder :oops: haven't been on sways for a little while (honest 'guv).

Welcome to the Mal club Beerfan, you'll have a ball.

With a yum yum yellow board you've got bigger things to worry about than the franiapani...

Had one of the best waves of my life on my 9'4 at a local reef break this morning.....no pics so I'll stfu.

After a shit night shift, i stopped by the beach this morning. Fave beach was 2+ but a bit chopped up, and the back beach around the corner was waist high and clean. Im bloody glad i went the waist high option haha. Taking off is tricky in small semi hollow waves, but i seemed to manage ok. Was heaps of fun, though its gunna take time to get it sussed. I tried to cross step near the nose on one little runner, almost made it, but got a little wobbly, and tried to bring my foot back, hahah epic fail, went down like a bag of shit. Fun fun fun, im going to enjoy this!!

Tips are welcome!

P.S cheers for the fin tips, i've already changed the plastic fins to my shapers sb fins. Pretty sure im gunna get a bigger centre fin too, maybe 9.5''. I like big fins!
