Re: Building the ultimate trendy Mid-Length.
I've just chatted with the boss at Rhino laminating, and it is not 100% confirmed quite yet, but it looks like Malcolm Campbell will be down here for a shaping stint around mid March.......

Re: Building the ultimate trendy Mid-Length.
I've got a 7'2" Bonzer speed egg sans flyers and it is simply awesome. Loves a barrel. Got it second hand, bargain of the century, for $300.
There was one second hand for sale recently, asking was $1000. Someone had bought it from that cool as buggery shop in Manly, where every staffer and shopper has a beard, just a few months ago. It had been for sale for $1400.

Steve, would a 7" octafish midlength cover the small v bank winter peelers and point waves that u described in the other thread or would the egg be better in your opinion?steve shearer wrote:thats what I heard too Tootr.

Re: Building the ultimate trendy Mid-Length.
I reckon the egg would be better for that.
Octafish would be better smaller. just imo.

Re: Building the ultimate trendy Mid-Length.
Hey JAm71, I have an Octafish and it's a stubby little wing/swallow performance machine. Totally different to an egg wrt turning characteristics.
I don't think they make them any longer than 6.4" / 6.5" odd in any case.
if u want to do the big smooth flowing turn thing get an egg.

Mike Psillakis shapes them for Malcolm Campbell here and he is one serious shaper. I had a Luke Short shaped Campbell Bros 6'8 Bonzer Egg, never had a bad session on it and for 3 Autumns I lived on it until I creased it and sold it on, wish I hadn't.

Mandala - mostly does hipster quads

Not keen on his shapes but I like this one.
I think this is the same shape a bit shorter
http://instagram.com/p/mY07l_QExx/
Pretty flat rocker
no idea what the fin placement would be. I'd use this as a starting point:

premium price which gets you the satisfaction of owning a highly desirable fashion item that serves it's purpose well.
to be honest I reckon the new 7S fish would surf better. those things look rad.

Re: Building the ultimate trendy Mid-Length.
That's what I don't like about Mandala. Being an ouvre means performance is only a small part of the user experience, aethetics, non-tangible spiritual associations and so on making up the balance. However I do think that shape, as big as you can duck dive it (7'?) with the NeilPurchase Junior (another ouvre) 2+1 set up would be pretty serviceable in certain conditions. I'm thinking catching the wide bombs on big point days, long rolling waves like flat rock or small beachies. Would be easy to shape if you could get the right blank, I wouldn't bother with any of that concave to spiral vee to dome nonsense just do a flat bottom.steve shearer wrote:I'm familiar with the Mandala ouvre.
