Bloody expensive though.
And don't go off San Diego dimensions and rockers, they don't work in Sydney waves.

Is that that Tyler Tzyzyzkxsyzi dude? Oh yeah I've heard of him.
You can get those Devon Howard Taka's in Australia, oh about 1700.

Re: Midlengths
I have a 7'10 Takayama Egg. As a hull the amount of roll is incredible, but it does mean you can ride and turn from anywhere on the board, and its just so smooth.
I'm just tossing up whether to take it to Bali along with the Zots and go full retro. Should be good in knee high to double overhead

Re: Midlengths
So does anyone know if the flow egg is actually different from Takas regular egg design?
They say it is. I've always found the egg a bit so so with the rolled bottom. Nice template but those pinched rails.

Re: Midlengths
"The Flo Egg is nothing like the traditional Egg Donald makes, this board is a low rail, single fin wonder. This one is for those who like the long drawn out, full rail turns of the single fin shortboard days. A throwback to a time when shortboarders still had a log or two in their regular quiver, but who wanted to experience tighter, more in the pocket turns than their longboards allowed them"

Always fascinated by surfers who surf with good rhythm.
The two most essential things in surfing, rhythm and long walled point breaks that give you time to get in rhythm.
Always remember a friend who was a very average surfer, way too front footed and only surfed along the fall line or above, but over a long period of years surfing at a quality long right hand point break the wave gradually changed his style and he started to use the area below the fall line and find some rhythm.
I assume you have seen Devons surfing in the Movie "Single fin yellow''.

I'll check and see if its on garage entertainment

Re: Midlengths
Yeah, read that description of the flo egg. It would want to be an improvement IMHO. I had an early racy mal he put out that was great fun. I set it up as a thruster. You could ride anything on it. Very fast. Felt great in larger waves.

Re: Midlengths
I reckon that'd work fine. Spend the $$ and get it done by a pro. Will work great IMHO. I got one put into a quad and it worked fineJET01 wrote:Boys I've got a Round tail 6'8 x 21 x 2 3/4 Miller Waterskate that I've had since 2008. It's still in pretty good nick as I had Grant glass it strong.
As it's a bit wider in the tail than my big red 6'8 single I'm thinking about getting a finbox put in it so I can ride it as a 2 + 1.
Have any of you tried to do something similar in the past?
Re: Midlengths
Don't do it. I bought an ecs 9'3" log. 6x6 deck yeah, but the foam under that glass is so soft it dents when you look at it. Bottom is terrible, deck not too bad, but the bottom is crap. Not a big issue, it's a summer flat spell board, but not worth it IMHO
Re: Midlengths
Quality option.
Re: Midlengths
Nice mate! How often do you surf that ? Daily driver or needs a good wave? Chunky foil?
