Probably a historical porn image brought to the attention of the IT crowd by some overly sensitive HR type. Wouldn't surprise that a typical response would be a blanket ban. We have a process where I can request access, but it's a pain and if a request is eventually denied after the process, I might seem sus to some (more)

Ok mate I'll do it in the next day or two. It's not extreme or anything, I think. Moderate nose and tail. Just narrower dims than a longboard of similar size. It's around 15" nose and tail and the foil is refined for 2 3/4".

Single concave is deepish through the middle but not too deep at the nose and tail. Rails medium I guess, not super chunky or anything. I'll run the straight edge over it too

Concave is quite deep through the centre and fades to almost nothing out the tail. Slightly rolled rails up front and a very small amount of vee right at the tail.

Picked up new DVS board - waves too small to ride. The bottom contours blend beautifully. The dimensions just say 7'4. Got a good feeling about this one. Pics to follow

Surfed the supermal as a single fin this morning in clean fun shoulder high beachies. Feels like it paddles easier ( I find they always seem to ), got onto waves easier and was super fun to surf. It's not a typical mal so the fin ( 7 1/2" ) may have been a touch small, or too far forward. Or maybe the waves were just shutting down too fast but a few I got stuck behind a section. Got a few good ones and it was great. Tried to grab rail and get under on one backhand steeper one. Epic fail as the fin popped straight out and I ate shitt haha.

Fun as. Ill try the bigger 8 1/2" greenough next time, and further back.

This 8'er and a more traditional 8' mal would probably cover me for everything I surf

Rode the new stick in 2/3 ft linking lefts today. A joyful experience. She just takes you for a silky ride, slightly tug the bridal and away it goes. Bloody tops. Can't wait to ride in some good right hand waves. This board in the right hands could do stacks.

I had a Fat Arse Wombat 2 for a few months and I didn't dig it at all. Two rides on this and it's a keeper. Easy to glide in and very responsive on back hand, can't ask for much more from a board this shape.
