Boardcave? How's your other McNeill holding up? The boardcave ones are so cheap

They're cheap in PU glass. They add an extra $200 when you select the other construction.

Ok so far. It's no DVS glass job but you can't stick your fingers through it like some of DHD and CI's I've seen lately

awesome - i've done the drunk purchase before and it always works out.

CV2 has a whole heap of performance - pray for some groundswell.

He initially steered me to the CV2 when I was looking at the Entity. I'm really enjoying the Entity in particular waves but my Quartet isn't doing it for me day in day out as a daily driver in Autumn/Winter so I thought this may be a good compromise.

I like Rusty's. Haven't used them in futures but I guess they're similar to the FCS templates.

Same as mine. We are pretty similar Davros except I am obviously better.

I ve had this idea for about 18 months about a long fish, they re popular with the seppos in the 8ft range as a longboard replacement. Because Gary's boards are so refined my idea would be a 6'8 cv2 long fish twinny with a trailer option just in case, for a light weight like me in good waves. Paddle in early, glide but still jam turns.

I just haven't got drunk enough to order yet

Would it work or am I tripping?

I had an elongated DVS Wasp for the same purpose, it was just too wide and flat and felt like a mini mal some times. But Gary's boards are refined and have greater rocker so could be a winner.

Yeah spot on, can take a bit of juice, fast and confident.

I have the rasta quads in mine, I find them a bit stiff but they are cool.
