Hi all. nice to see a good longboarding section.

now a Melbournian EX Morninton peninsula Rye, got into LB when i was 15, fell in love with the high line glide and nose ride. did compete in my younger days in Maladiction but given that away now i'm 35+.

I have mainly rode 8 footers and 9,1s. recently traded my 9,1 for a performance 8 footer that's 3 thick. really enjoy it as you can still nose ride and surf whatever waves are on offer, without losing paddling power.

my old sticks and current sticks! blue trigger gone for the 510 and imperial traded for new 8 footer. the imperial was a great board but have to say enjoying the new trigger stick alot. from what i've found if drop down to 8 - 8/6 and keep some thickness they perform very well and can still be nose ridden.
