Took it for a paddle up at the beachie on Saturday. Conditions less than ideal. 2ft @ the alley.
Was nice to get a feel for it. Great size board for me. Love how it paddles. Can’t wait to get it in that 3-4ft range.

Beautiful board Jet, keep us updated with those ride reports

Love the look of your jd beery, beautiful outline. Looks like it can cover a lot of bases

CB = 7x21x3 HM = 7'2x2 3/4x21 1/4 The CB closer to a thruster and great in 2-4ft. Has a domed deck and is pretty loose. Where as the HM thin foil and razor sharp rail is reminiscent of a bonzer egg shape. It's great in faster, larger and more powerful waves. Both are great on the back hand, no trac...

Look forward to seeing it and hearing the ride report beery

You might have mentioned it before thud but what are the dims of your crossbreed & Howard mini? Any further thoughts on how they compliment eachother? I like the look of both

You should have the bulbous beauty in your hands by now Cuttlefish.... I am referring to the fish

Lol!

That looks beautiful salty, love the outline. The deck looks like the love child of 80”s billabong & quiksilver prints, epic!

That Goddard & the Bings are beautiful, Bryan Bates from Byron has been putting some lovely eggs on his Insta.... & at $150
Per foot a bit cheaper than the Bings

Jack Knight from Harvest surfboards shapes a single fin with Jim Pollard influenced curved channels which run from nose to tail. Trippy but he has been doing them for decades..... I know this doesn’t answer your question Hatchy but I to am curious, hopefully someone can chip in and explain, cheers

Went the Farm with 750 of my closest friends. Reasonable wave, but man, the water was more frigid than my year 7 girlfriend.

Speaking historically of course. >><<

review of MC above. with special gift for RS. https://beachgrit.com/2018/08/board-review-maurice-cole-protow-a-specialist-surfboard-that-gives-satisfaction-of-a-different-order/ Great review Steve, I often thought less is more in good waves but just thought that was me being lazy.... now I feel my ...

I reckon the water was a touch warmer up here, springy suit for sure, rather pleasant

Got it - 5'9, 19 1/2, 2 1/4 - egg. It's really refined, with HP rails and a pulled in nose and tail. Have surfed it about five times. Great allrounder. Really gelled with it from the first surf, which i don't often do with bonzers. Shoulder recovery is slow, so i can only surf once to twice a week,...

Different times I guess, let us know how u go on the Howard mini. I have fondled a few in Byron & almost pulled the trigger a couple of times.

Maybe he meant small pipeline lol!

I like the look of the Russ Short but yes, it’s a good wave board

I think it’s the “Bodega Boardriders” podcast which has a good interview with Devon Howard talking eggs. Well worth a listen
