No screw at either end but the seller may be able to help if he's doing repo's.

Walking on water

I've acquired a 10'er which should help me sit outside and pick a few off to even the playing field once again. I'll take delivery of it Wed evening so Thursday may see me doing the 45km trek to Noosa so I can drive around the car park for a while before I give up and find my usual secret parking sp...

Noosa is sick

I love resurrecting old threads. Noosa is sick allright. Granite was 2' and choked with people like it was bloody Mecca or something. The way everyone was scuttling around to Ti Tree and Granite you would have thought it was 4-6'. Then again its good to surf my home point with 1/2 a doz out because ...

Holy crap... that's one ugly mofo board! :lol: To which I reply, "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one". :P These shapes were the harbringers of the shortboard revolution. :idea: If they hadn't been made then we'd all still be riding 9'+ dungas. Oh dear, many of us are still riding 9'+ du...

Cord

Why buy old when you can have new? My Cord 7'6" looks just like a McTavish plastic machine (updated & improved) that he shaped for himself a few years ago. I had them lying side by side to compare. This was shaped by Chops Lascelle and the resin tint and glassing was done at the Hayden factory. Want...

Old boards on Evil bay

The worst thing about E bay is the plague of new Chinese shite which is closely followed by the number of crappy old boards in seriously bad condition which have been dragged out from behind the shed and touted as vintage. I spew on them. Of course there are some beautiful boards which also go for a...

Board on bike

I have a 100cc 2 stroke scoot with a Carver brand surfboard rack which I regularly ride to the beach. No worries at 90 kmh. Another guy around here has a Harley Sportster with a board rack. As far as I know there's no legal problem. Cops never give me a second glance. I'm in Qld. The Carver would be...

longboard

I didn't send you any pics of my board because Seriola chimed in and so figured you would have things sorted there.

Can you tell I'm recovering from surgery and can't surf. :( Went into my local surf shop and asked them about this movie. The guys said they'd ask Dick Hoole next time he drops in with his carboard box full of DVD's. What a classic, after all these years he's still wearing out the shoe leather (figu...

Unfortunately the internet doesn't let us convey the humour in our words. I'm sure not disagreeing with you. Even if I did resort to using those little emotcions on the side of the page. Good thing about the retro thing is it has a mellow element to it. Need more of that in our society. The wanna be...

Alternative

I recall hearing about a new surf/art shop which had opened up and someone had told me to go check out their alternative boards. So I'm riding over there just before opening time and pass a young dude with longish hair wearing a 70's style t-shirt and boardies with a calico bag slung across his shou...

Diverse

To Lamesville and Saltman I bought one of his boards because I liked the shape. I spent all day at the fish fry (put up my market tent and brought the wife and kids along) so I had plenty of opportunity to look at the boards. I've been around long enough to have ridden plenty of boards from several ...

Pavel Speedialers

Plenty of discussuion about them on Surfermags design forum. Especially if you do a search and start reading which will keep you busy for a while. I wouldn't be suprised if Dave at Diverse surfboards on the Gold Coast had a Speeddialer shape in his computer files. Check out his quad fish as a good a...

2+1

The thing about 2+1's are that you have some much variation with fin choices. Use it as a single fin. Try tonnes of different fins. Get an FCS adaptor and put some tape around it then lever it into the box to stop any free-play if you have any wobbling problems. Then you can run it as a standard thr...

I went through a phase where my fish was all I rode, but I just found I couldn't turn the things. I've had 4 custom fish and I kept going thinner and thinner in the tail until my fish ended up as ...

Firewire

I hear you. With new technology which should offer better performance and durability which is made here in Australia and marketed accordingly the board makers should be wholesaling their boards for a premium price. I expect to pay more for a board that could possibly be the best board I've ever owne...
