That's close enough. It's the new midlength, everyone seems to be riding sub 6' now.

No. His was a dart board. A crappy pop out. These days he’s mainly surfing sub 6’0 twinnies.

After selling off a couple of boards I’ve got more than enough cash to just go drop it on a stock 7’0 freeflight single six channel. If I’m after something around the 7”0 mark that’ll eat 6-8 foot anyway, so it could be very thing. Besides, I’m more than comfortable on a straight single without the side bites.

I’m very tempted. Talk me out of it or into it :o :o :lol: !!

Thanks for the heads up. Though located Burleigh, same price as new FF, and I’ve heard the indo(?) made ones for sideways are decent.
