I popped into SHQ here in Melbourne yesterday and I noticed that they now sell Coreban and had heaps of stock.

I'd never seen any Coreban stuff in real life before but as soon as I walked through the door and saw their new wood model I thought..Wow!.. It looked fantastic so I ran back to the car and got my camera.

For those who've never seen Coreban boards before I took some pics.. Their wood board looks like you could store it in the living room rather than the garage.











Clear rail tape is a nice touch on a beautiful board like this.



I then checked out their 9' x 29 1/2" Fusion board (demo board).. It looked great.





The deck grip looked nice a grippy.



The 10' x 29 1/2" Icon looked nice.





I liked the subtle flyers on the 9'6" x 29 1/2" Performer.



Their paddles also looked great.. I loved the look of the kevlar model.







Their paddles have a nice slim T grip handle like the Kialoa's but with a little more ergo shape.



Paddles come with blade covers.



Boards come with bags.



Even their brochure comes with a DVD.. I just watched the DVD and it's great.. Check it out.. Make sure you watch all the extras on it.



So.. If you want to ride like Ivan Van Vuuren buying one of his boards won't do it because he's a freak.. .. but it might help..

It looks like Naish,Starboard, PSH and C4 have another serious competitor.
