ok so i've had a bit of a look at the son of bombora, a little small for me
the simon anderson boards look ok
was reading some reviews of the psh 12ftr, it's starting to look the goods, cant find a bad rewiew on it, i'm gonna try and demo one locally,
if you guys have any other suggestions/feedback feel free to let me know what you think.

Hi jarryd
I,v got a 12f JL Bombora gun. Great board I,v had it out in some big days.
Also goes well in real small waves.
I m looking to get rid of it if you want a go.
I only live 20 minutes from you.
send me a message if you want to catchup.

I love reds! They are beautiful guns though... Single red thumbs make me smile from ear to ear!
This 8'0 would be a great start for a gun. If you blew it up by 1.3ish, you get;
10'6 x 28"1/2 x 4". I think a similar board at 10'6 x 29 x 4"5/8 could be good. If you are heavier and taller, maybe 11'0 x 29-29"1/2 x 4"3/4... or even x 5".

Just get another one of Dan's. They are sic, would be based on mine. You don't need 12 foot in Australia and the PSH one is too flat anyways for a real gun.
Mine is 9'1" but you would go a fair bit longer if you are currently riding a 9'11".
The new DTM's are a full gloss finish with carry handle as well.

i'm thinking thats the way i'm gonna go goaty, im lovin my board at the moment, and your board looks sweet and it can handle some rather decent surf, dont think i'l be charging anything that big, just gotta go work a little more to fund my addiction
