Maybe a Simon Andeson, although I know I've got a snowball's chance in hell of having him shape it - just because he invented the thruster, or some tricked out triple concave quad fin f#ckin speed machine for the days when you just feel like it.

A 6'10'' egg, as an all rounder from knee high to a bit overhead. 2+1 setup. :lol: but you know that mark!. For similar reasons to iggy. Though im not a snappy surfer, so more cruisy carvy is how i try to surf.

What: a red one

Why: they’re faster

6'10" x dunno, about 20" x must be max 2.4". Expectations zero but ever hopeful. Think it will be a surprise package. Lot of blood and sweat, glue, foams, fillers, aluminium, honey comb holes and tears invested.

Next... shorter, thick as a brick and wide of course. :wink:

Grant Miller Powerglide.

Already got the V-Skate and it's great for those 3 - 5 foot days but I want a decent sized mal for the really little days.

Problem is I can't afford one yet and may have to resort to eBay!

Dude you just missed out ... Grant was selling a 2nd hand Powerglide for $390 on his web site about 6 weeks ago or so. Might be worth looking at his web site every now and then to see if another one pops up.

On Friday I did my first (proper) 'Hang 5' on a mates, 10ft log at Tea Tree 8)

The wave was barely knee high but damm, it was fun...
Anyone want to donate a big, fat mal to the "Teach Felix to Hang 10 Foundation"? :wink:
