Re: Single fin shortboards
I've felt them up, they feel solid enough..... but you'd need 6 months on one too test the durability.
cheap as fcuk.

Re: Single fin shortboards
Had that with a made in oz Mt Woodgee and Chilli too.
But had other boards from them not do that.

Far from high performance, but nicely pieced together nonetheless.

Re: Single fin shortboards
I have a Sideways board, a Phil six channel diamond tail, surfed it a bit, solid as, no issues.
Re: Single fin shortboards
Hi-perf singles. Polfer Hull Designs. Dude clearly rips but it looks so far removed from single fin lines that I can’t relate it to single fin surfing at all. Moreover it’s thruster lines but looser and tighter in the pocket which is impressive.

I’m glad that vid is there. Looking at the bottom contour/rail, I was having trouble working out how it would performance.

I cant help but feel it all looked a bit silly really.

That short little stabby cutback thing.
Not pretty.

I knew Peter Garrett surfed, but pegged him as taller.
Re: Single fin shortboards
Yeah it’s not my cup of tea. I like single fin surfing to look like single surfing. Though he’d probably have shown up any of the contenders in the pro Maldives single fin comps, as they’re all really just surfing thruster lines but with one fin. I’d still be keen to have a go on one. They look pretty fun and tripped out.
Re: Single fin shortboards
Was someone talking about the Phil Myers sideways singles in here? Unridden one for $350.
Pretty short at 5'6, but still packing 28L. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/11975262 ... source=sms

Re: Single fin shortboards
That’s a gift. For someone more petite than I.

Geez they pack some volume all the way out to the rails

Maybe it would go alright for me then. My shorties are usually around 27-28L.
I could imagine surfing it in 2-3ft clean, hollow points.
Re: Single fin shortboards
Arent those meant to be faithful to the late 70’s Col Smith boards?
I’m waiting for a bigger one, say 6.8 to pop up on The Gumtree. It’s a ‘like to have’ rather than ‘must have’ board.
