Ok, so the prevailing view is that anything 6'10" and under is a short board, with 7'0" to 8'0" being a mid-size, and longboard being anything bigger than 8'0" - with the purists saying 9'1" and above is a true LB.

Just wondered how 9'1" became the standard 'starting' LB size? Is it because the blanks start at 9'2" ??

October is meant to be just fun smallish waves. Although I'm sure there will be some swell magnet spots thrown in. There always is...

I was originally thinking about a mid-length and a semi-gun. But quickly thought that a Longboard and a Step-Up would be better.

Bob has confirmed he is taking a 9'0 EvoII Epoxy Custom (semi-experimental), and a 9'1 Original Tufflite. Actually I need to confirm with him that I can get some rides on his gear. I'm sure I can.

Vice versa, he will have options on my 9'1 EvoII and his old Yellow Dream Machine Rincon '68, 7'10 Step-Up.

I did a trial fitting on the 9'1 and 7'10 into my 9'6 Travel Bag. Like a glove baby! Really good fit. Very happy. Don't have to invest in more equipment.

Getting excited! 125 foot cruiser.
Bob told me I'm the 'young punk' on the tour!
