I'd kill for waves like that at the moment - he is styling on that thing.

I know, its like his soul is the spirit of a dancing wolf.

Pretty perfect waves for it to be fair.

Took the supermal for a run this morning. Junky blown out 1-2'. Can't wait to get some decent clean faces on it. Have ordered some dvs quads ( not the split keel ). Should be better than the plastic ones in it now

Love to have something like that. I couldn't surf it anywhere near as good but the trim just looks so nice. I wouldn't want to turn it, just trim along the high line

Yep, recently purchased a 7'2 single fin after riding 6'0 fishes for the last few years ( quads mainly).
Although I will continue to ride shorter boards, the feel you get from a single is pretty smooth - trim on the small days with committed carves on the bigger days and getting in slightly earlier is always a plus amongst the Sydney summer crowds

i picked up this 6'6 hull at my local surf shop last year. Great fun - seems to go in a lot of different waves and you can get up on the nose (at my weight).

Nice board and even surfnturf would be happy with that lawn.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Trying to put up a pic, have to work out how to reduce the file size
It's a Vouch Evo- bit on the pricey side but I wanted something well shaped and glassed
