To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

Kracka's the best. But as with many things which are the best, they're also the most expensive.

It'll also take an age and a half to get a board, since they have a long back order list and a very precise manufacturing process which they refuse to rush.

I'm a bit surprised you're having trouble with a second hand racing board - 90 kg right? There should be a few around.

But what I would recommend is contacting Bennett's in Brookvale and asking about their Robustlite production boards -- they're much cheaper than a Kracka, they're really tough and hard to damage, and they've probably got a couple of 90kg boards sitting in the racks down there. Robustlite is made using a similar process to a Tuflite surfboard -- the boards aren't as quick and sensitive as a custom racing board but you won't tell the difference unless you're a bloody fast paddler with a lot of recent racing experience.

No, not right. Probably around 105kg at present.

Will need a year to save up, so time is no issue. No plans to ever to race, just want to paddle a long way out to sea and up the coast into the National park maybe. Was thinking of trying to get one made by a local guy who posts here occasionally but Bennetts sounds like the go.
Fcuk, get a ski. Way better for that stuff.
