I hear ya tonks. My rehab board is a great board but ffs it's getting a few spider cracks here and there. To get a decent lasting board in poly it needs to be heavy. Ok if you live on a point break but for average beachies they lose a lot of responsiveness. Josh' boards are hardy, but super light. Best of both worlds IMHO.


Matticus, mine will be a pulled in/speed egg 7'er. Juuuust wide enough for average beachies but narrow enough for decent beachies. If I can ever build my form and fitness up again haha. I'm going quad but I'm kind of thinking quad + single. Just not sure how often I'll use it as a single.

i think the support structure seems to be better than others-- i have used. to be able to custom fit the cover is good for wood

Im guessing josh your just to busy to post up these days mate. Hope all is going well.

[Beerfan]

He has to put up with antsy impatient customers wanting to know how their boards are going all the time I reckon:). Check his Facebook for photo updates digger.

He's busy on my board currently! I haven't hassled him too much ...well not at least for the last hour

Check out the Astro! 5'8 x 19.5" x 2.5" goes like the clappers and not only turns on threepence it gets faster!

Looks like a wakeboard, and i mean that in a good way.
Try some lower profile fins in it. I've got something a bit similar 5'6x20.5" and it is amazing how much you can jam the turns.

Strong enough to be used as a wakeboard or kiteboard I reckon with a layer of innegra on the deck skin. May even do it too! I'm a big boy 90kg and 184cm I need large fins or I don't get the drive I want and get too much drift when I push hard. For small waves I can go down to mediums like K2s but once it is over 3' unless the rails are really sharp my board won't hold its line.

Yes probably. I sneak out there in the mornings from time to time. I did this morning anyway!

I found in the meantime that I like it better as a thruster.

[Drailed]

That was a while back now... Nice chatting to you!

Good to see JD get a run in the current issue of "White Horses"

Does anyone know if Josh has gone down the bonzer path?
I've seen pics of his channel bottoms so I should imagine shaping some crazy bonzer contours would not be out of the question.

I'd love a JD bonzer as well. I think the depth of the concaves might be an issue, as it would thin out the layer of high density foam on the bottom. I'm sure Josh would find a way around it though.
