Is that a mcoy?....ha ha ha

2016 was a monumental year for GM, he actually caught up on 25 years of innovation by including detachable fin options on his customs.

Not Sure.
But I'm guessing its a Horan model.

Taking assym fin setups to the extreme.

I am not feeling the board but RS members take note of the boardies & vest colours coordinating with the board logo. It's in the details Davros & Cranky

Obviously, I'll need a new board to match my boardies

I wear a white wetsuit to match my white boards. I'm known as "The Phantom"

.....but the boardies are Fluoro green and the logos mustard yellow.

I knew some hipster wouldn't approve, he is in the ball park Beanie, give the old fella a break

Does it turn see through when wet? "Honey does my bum look big in this?" Takes on a whole new meaning post surf!!!

Actually a clear wetsuit. That would be awesome

That would depend on who's wearing it, Steph Gilmore yes, me no!!!

Gee I haven't been a hipster since the term was used in the innner city early 1980s.
Stoked.

Steph Gilmore in a clear wetsuit riding a single fin at 6-8ft Bells.

That's my fantasy surfer action right there.

Preferably riding at my local with just her and me out.

Sorry guys...grew up surfing with her dad so can't go there.
It seems funny that even wetsuits for women are cut so their bums stick out. Definitely livens up a surf session but I think it defeats the purpose of wearing a wetsuit. I think if I surfed in speedos Id be chaffed from arsehole to breakfast.

And beaten to a pulp for your vulgar display

I've often thought the same thing.
I don't like wearing short legged wetties or boardies whenever I'm on my midlengths. My knees get shredded as I tend to use them more when I paddle.
When it comes to midlength surfing I'll rotate between my long John, 2x2 short sleeve steamer, and 3x2 steamer in the winter.

Shortboards is boardies (no speedo's), long armed springy 2x2 short sleeve steamer, or 3x2 steamer.

Although I guess most chicks don't have to worry about the wax sticking to their hairy arse/inner thighs.
I surfed once in speedo's on a boys weekend away when I was half cut... never again. The chicks can have it.

You use your knees when you paddle?

Yeah I know it's a bit weird. I think its a subconscious compensation to take a bit of the load off my lower back. No sure.
But it only happens on my longer boards. 7'7 and 9'0. My next shortest is my 6'8 single or my 6'8 waterskate, and my knees don't get bothered.
