The title of this forum says Board Talk and reviews. If you don't like it give the Red thumb and piss off!

This is the best board I've ever owned. I have still only tried it as a quad, but managed to throw the best backhand spray doing a cutback in 20 years. Stayed out for three hours and caught around 30 waves plus a few obligatory fall offs on a new board. It cut through broken waves easily and caught waves easily as long as I used surfer stance a little more forward than I usually do. My board is the 'Fun Stick' 9'4" x 33" @140 L. I know that two other boards are either sold or about to be. My board weighed 7.5 kg and a similar carbon model was only 5.00kg Brand new I paid $1475.00. There are other types, one called the Potato Chip that is like the L51 Simsup and $1400.00. There is a youtube vid of this semi kook freakin out at how good he's surfing on it. MickMac apparently has bought one and Antho (both Seabreezers) is a bees dick from buying the 8'8"X 32 128L. The build is sensational and the rails are similar to Sparx's cuttle fish design. Mine has a great little Vee down both rails and a slight concave down the centre. Very easy to turn, which freaked out the shipping liner riders, both LB and SUP. The board's super stable, though I think taller riders 6'3" up might need to be careful with longtitudinal balance. 'Stonker' ( the distributor) who make really good boards themselves and are also the dealers for 'Slingshot' SUP and kites will not let you demo the 'Blue Planet' boards. They figure you should be good enough to work out they are good boards. Robert Stehlik from Hawaii designed them and is one of the original legends of the sport. BTW Stonker fix boards incredibly well, they saved a creased JP that I thought was dead. The guys from Stonker are also honest and straightforward and will let you demo their stuff.

I would compare this board to a mixture of the 9'5" Widepoint, 9'2" Allwave and a 9'3" Prowave rolled into one. I have recently ridden a 9'6" Atlantis Vex Pro Fusion. They are also really well made but probably for a lighter surfer even though they have more litreage. I have also heard big wraps on the 'Bam Bam' and 'Halo'. There are plenty of affordable well made boards out there. Don't let yourself get sucked in by a name. But in my IMHO 'Blue Planet' is an amazing product that will probably go up in price quickly because they're good and advanced in their R&D. Hopefully Mr Stehlik will do the right thing and keep the customers he'll definitely get from this shipment of amazing and and highly affordable boards. The retailer in Victoria is 'Stonker' I have nothing to do with them, but will if they want!? BTW the handles are amazing!!!!! Some photos that don't really do the boards justice.
