Hey GPA, it's not just you and me with this board.

BTW any luck getting an enjoyable ride out of yours?

Are you a Longboarder thinking about going a bit shorter? I highly recommend it.

The BobSled & CarverFish are great starting points. The 7'4 to 7'10 range is a great starting point too. Adjust width and thickness to suit your weight and preference. Don't be afraid to stay wide and thick for comfortable paddling power, almost as good as your longboard.

If you're already getting to your feet really fast, and making at least 9/10 take-offs on your Malibu (9+ footer), and if you don't have something shorter, you should think about these dimensions... 7'8 x 21 x 3". That would suit someone around 6 foot, and 90 kilos. If you are shorter/lighter, or heavier/taller, think along the lines of either 7'2 x 20"3/4 x 2"7/8 or 7'11 x 21"1/2 x 3"1/8. (or 3" but retain foam volume elsewhere).

They will slide down the line like a log can, in knee high / above knee high point breaks. But when it gets head high and a bit more punch, they will zip off the bottom, pivot hard off the top, and you can also allow them to do beautiful long drawn out bottom turns too. Play around with the fins... Have fun!

Mine is a Golden Dawn from Bells Beach.

Seabreeze Torquay Weekend hasn't happened yet!

My mate told me about the 5L Heineken Kegs, and tells me that the kegs are the real deal from Holland. And it's true, it's the real deal. It's not a bad drop either. Not the "brewed under license" stuff. It's "engineered" to last for 30 days after you pop the keg. But my mate had half a keg on the shelf at room temperature for 9 months, and accidently forgot about it. Put it back in the fridge, and he said was still perfect.

Kind of fun pulling a draught beer on tap at home too!

The bundy bit was just to Mac's attention!
