Fat cunts and compasses, never a good mix.

If you're fat because of pies, then that's forgivable.

Good amount of rocker, nice outline, low pinched rails, and a generous amount of double concave inside vee out the tail. Got good feels about it

Yep. It feels great under the arm. Looks way more geared for performance than a lot of the other flatter mid-lengths out there. Reckon 6”10 will be a nice size for beach breaks also. Here’s a couple more shots, shows the rocker.

Have since decked it out with a volan traditional dolphin style 9” fin I got shaped off Huey (REALSURF) many moons ago. First test run will be down south tomorrow. Nice little south swell on the build with some residual east swell still in the mix, should be decent.

Yep it is. Gotta say that I’m surprised that Phil did that. What are your thoughts on him BTW? Seems like a good fella who voted Labor. I’m about to get a board from him.

Yep. I’ve got another Bali manufactured freeflight, 7’0 single fin six channel. Had it for probably 3 or 4 years. Surfed it plenty, and still in great condition

Probably a Retro Gough Whitlam Model but with a Bob Hawke tail and a Keating Futures setup.

As long as its not too Shorten, and I recommend steering away from getting a Gillard, as they've got way too much hip in the tail.
