Well after spending numerous hours pouring over specs of the 8'11 Gerry Lopez Lil Darlin', 9'3 Sub Vector and the McTavish 9'0, I was about to put my money down on the Lopez when...
I ordered a Luke Short Designs 8'6 Fish from Australia!!!

It was the dimensions I had been dreaming about in my head and seemed to fit perfectly with local wave spots and my surf style.
My favourite shortboard is a 7S 6'3 superfish and this LSD SUP seems pretty close to a blown up version of that. Flat rocker, wide tail and nice n snappy.
It arrived last night with a family member on holiday in NZ so I can't wait to try it!!!
Thanks heaps to Scott at Greenline on the Gold Coast for helping me out at such short notice and while busy with the Noosa Demo days. Love the OAM board bag and LSD T-Shirt too.
Heres a pic of my Superfish
And my 2 board quiver!!
