Da dah (that's the shop person).
Makes me feel like a newbie, or, more like, gumby all over again, at the low gradient beginning of a long and steep exponential learning curve, it's different, funny, looks normal enough, but can't be, doesn't act the same as a shorty, well maybe cos this 1 ain't that short! it rides in another way, still gotta learn how . Feels like a lot of potential and a challenge! Very exciting woo-whoore!

do you mean the fin box (dark wood) it's self? thruster side fins pretty much all point inward slightly, most draw a direct line to the centre of the board somewhere around the nose. it would make sense that the fin box is set at the same angle as the fin?Toby wrote:Interesting how Bert's got the balsa around the fins angled just slightly towards the centre. Wonder what his thinking is on that.
Normie you can put it on pillows and pretend surf, it's got enough of a weird feel anyway, and a year of that might just help . . Not even my name, tobes . S81 seemed wrong, might just be the difference in board 1st time, only got G5 and switched over, they're maybe too soft going by mad-as, sunny supply the fins in a week, another drive south guess their choice will be like mads raptors or surfers JS1, tho I am only 62kg too, dolphin. Hmmm fin choice, dunno good thing they're supplying some soon . Odd little nose guard .
Funny, was my thought on 1st ride (in a positive way).
Hand up, hand up
I got it . It's like going from a short board to a mal, only difference is, I like it . Mine's floaty, seems huge-as, got extra thickness, that was cos I'm no champ (also that fat tail), so it paddles .

Daryl,
I have been tolf that mine is suited to FCS PG 5. I currently run a PC 3 on my Outer island Performance Fish. They are a really stiff fin. I might play around a bit when my Sunova Nitro 6" 0' arrives. If the PG 5 has too much hold I might try something with a little more sweep.
Exciting times hey guys

It's like thick double sided tape, must be for shipping. That WAS my first impression too . Yeh well, so I figured I'd try it that way, just cos it did look interesting, but my feet wanta go up to (or on ) the logo, this board's different, bit the way a fish is so different in length, when you go to plant your front foot in front of the nose when ya start out, on a fish and all it finds is water, or zip, as in dangling in space. Course that could be my, um style, or lack of .ric_vidal wrote:What’s the white line fever across the deck? Don’t go or wax beyond this point?

Daryl, looking more closely you didn't go for a concave deck ("morphlex"?)?

I guess teak, and no, I'm not about to jump on my board, not out of the water (unless it's on pillows having a dry run ). Perfect board for me, in a smallish car 3 boards jammed inside fuckin creases a 4x4x4 .
1 3/4 concave sounds a trip.

On this board my foot went straight there a couple times, all unwaxed must think it's (my goofy front foot) on the 608 I'm generally out on.daryl wrote:my feet wanta go up to (or on ) the logo, this board's different, bit the way a fish is so different in length, when you go to plant your front foot in front of the nose when ya start out, on a fish and all it finds is water, or zip, as in planting itself out in spaceric_vidal wrote:What’s the white line fever across the deck?
