Hi all,

Does anybody ride these boards?

I know Dave Muir does but I am looking for other feedback , pricing , etc

Is there somewhere that retails these boards or are they factory direct?.

I have left a message for the guys but again looking for info from users.

Cheers

I do. I have the 8.6 and it by far the best board I have had. I have tried various production boards but I have to say the IOPS is still my favourite. I came off a SB Pocket Rocket which I loved as well but the IOPS just cranks the turns, especially off the top. I mainly ride beachies and it is perfect for that.

Marshall is the guy you need to talk to. He sells direct to the public and has demo boards available to try. Just give him a call.

Hoppy.......I just started riding these boards......previously on Mctavish 9.6..quad which i thought was a really good high performance board.

IOP's are are so much better ..there's a huge difference between these and your

regular SUP boards ( probably why Dave rides em )....anything else is just holding you back or making hard work for you. These boards will take

SUP surfing to a new level, they are very light ..only a few kg , look great ( like regular fiberglass board ) and offer you all the SUP benefits but

rides like a short board......makes my previous board feel like i was on an aircraft carrier. They are very good !! Marshall who sells them is

great deal with, demo's available and they probably half price of most boards on market . PS i was riding mine over Strico's and Bullets but these

boards would love beach breaks ......which is opposite for most SUP's.... get my drift.......Louis.

Thanks for the info guys
Wife had the bub a little early so as soon as we get home from the hospital I will set up a demo and have a look at the new stock.
Does Dave ride a custom or a off the rack?

Regards

happy I am the luckiest 40 year old grom alive; starboard wouldn't let me design a board so I rode what I was given. I made the boards work as you do . As you are aware the level of supping has gone through the roof,so when you competing against people half your age you need the best equipment. Marshal is a deadset champ who has fishtails fish and chip shop in nedlands down the road from my oldies. Sharron and marshal are such nice people, ,for marshal it's not abiut making money it's about giving people a performance board at an affordable price so we can all enjoy the sport. I work and testride all the boards along with marshal, in the first 2 comps this year I knocked the number 1 and number 2 in the world off in heats which means the boards work,marshal will make you what ever you want to ride,so to answer your question the boards I ride are production cheers David m
