Good to know Cuttlefish. I looked at some footage of Dave Rasta surfing something, he was of course tearing things to pieces, just watching him I was taken by the speed of the boards. Couldn't do a quick review of your TT could you when you can be bothered could ya?

Rasta is not a small human & Gary only makes customs however, i understand where your mate is coming from. Gary's boards are generally refined, fast & short with The intention of pushing your surfing.

Gary's boards look interesting but all those swallow tales give the impression that they are all fish. I know a few that love the fishier outline boards but I'd be interested to know who may give given one of his step up boards a go. Maybe the entity pin or the like as a board in indo or WA. Beautiful boards and a pleasure to speak to in my experience.

Yeah mate, my tail is about 15" i think. Mine is a pretty good alrounder really, i vê had fun on it in waist high onshore beachies typical Queensland xmas mush to head high a frames down in northern NSW. I generally take it out if the waves are a bit smaller or laçk a bit of push, mine hás good planing area for the fat sections but with performance rails & the magic sauce in the bottom contour turns on a dime. They still have a good burst of speed in crappy waves but wait till its chest to head high & clean, The speed is Awesome.

They work with aipas which i prefer especially in beachies but also with keels if u want more drive

I think that the new tomo evo is a more pronounced version of what Gary has been doing with his torus channels

Thanks Jam - I think I might sell my Rich Pavel to fund - might be a better option for me.
