What is the lowest litre board you can still consider a functional Sup?
What is the smallest dimensions people have tried and what was the outcome? Production or custom?

Bit of footage taken over Chrissy, New Year peak season. Nothing special, average waves and surfing about the same, however...... Hundreds of crew around but none of the Lemmings wanted to take the hunt em down option leaving me a wave zone the equivalent of half a footy field to harvest. Top left of frame is my usual haunt, severely sand effected and choccers with punters. Out of frame to the left is the local alpha reef with twice as many again while out of frame to the right is the back beach with literally hundreds.
On the stand up I could see the sets coming and position accordingly, over towards the reef for some left hand runners, in the middle for some peaks with an inside reform or on the extreme right of frame for some grinding rip bowls. Couldnt do it on anything other than a stand up, would have to park and wait on a shorty, probably hunt down a few on a mal but on niether would have the vision advantage of the SUP. As I said, nothing spectacular but Lemming free and fun as hell.
Every serious surfer should have one in their quiver.....but jeez I'm glad they dont!!!
As usual, Hi Def option slightly better but overall quality is rubbish

Had this little baby put together for the Nationals and through various circumstances havent really had a good crack at it until recently. Realised from the get go it was quick but because of some chronic knee problems was never able to apply the needed grunt.







The Red Rocket is pretty much an extension of the last three boards Fordy has made for me. Really just playing with dimensions. This one is eight, two by four and a quarter by twenty nine. Left a lot of beef right through the front half of this one so it does'nt feel a lot different in the paddling department from the snot block, lime green pictured below.



It does seem to have a little less rocker than the last two which gives it a real squirty feel and a sense of instant acceleration in some juice.
Anyway, more to come
