I saw some old footage of NPJ surfing a thruster and I have to say, he looked smoother, more fluid, more critical than any other board I have seen him surf.

[el rancho]

he would've also been twenty years younger. he's not a young guy any more

[el rancho]

did you know purchase makes a small appearance in green iguana?

That be true. Still had that same distinctive style etc....

[el rancho]

neal's great, he's got a classic style that regular schmoes can vaguely aspire to

[Davros]

I'm a fan.

/\ I think I remember seeing his shop/showroom way back when but never walked in.

Davros. It felt fast loose and lively but the lines were less skatey and lateral and side to side like a lot of twins, but more of a tighter central feel at the core of it.

Hard to articulate but to me the board felt more sure of itself than a standard hi-perf twin board, most notably in hollow pockets and bowls of the wave where it seemed to fit and feel better, probably due to its split single like set up.

And, the board felt great backhand. There was no problem throwing it into a tight vertical turn. It would feel like it was whipping through re-entries forehand and backhand.

The only reason I sold it because it was simply too big. I'd love one again, but no bigger than a 6'4. Not sure if the dude is still shaping.

Pretty shit lookin fins

Seriously horrible board.

Not pink enough for you ?

Na, Just wrong, doesn't look right

Well it went great. Just too big for me.

Well ya never know till you surf it.

Although I do find the 'feels good under the arm' test amazingly accurate

It was super fast and super fun. I'd love another, but probably as a 6'2

I'm a big fan of feels good under your arm and that board would not get picked up to start with.

Looks nice

[Hatchnam]

I'd buy it if I felt the need. It'd just wind up not getting surfed much. Be a great slider for the pass or Noosa points.

Looks good. I'm tempted but I'd have to drive to Sydney during the holidays to pick it up. And I reckon it'll go for a lot more than $250 by the time it's finished.
I don't like e-bay. I don't really understand how it works.
One time Tiger (from Realsurf) had a nice looking log of his own label (Elixir) on there and I bid for it. Every time I bid, another bid came in just above. I pushed it up a hundred or so over what I wanted to pay and pulled the pin. At least Tiger got more than he was expecting.

[Hatchnam]

It's gumtree (classifieds) Not eBay (auction). The price is what is. It's $250. Call the dude and get it freighted up if you want it

[Trev]

Oh. Yeah. I misread that. Nah. I think I'd want to see it. I'm too old fashioned I know. But that's me.
