Every now and then an asthetically beautiful product graces our store.

Here's one that will be hard to top [ for awhile at least].

A worldwide limited run of these 12'6" x 30.5" boards has just been released, RPS was lucky enough to snap one up.

Now the hard decision......to keep it or offer it for sale.

Yes very nice. Saw its counterpart at the ROAR INDUSTRIES store Currumbin this morning. I wonder whole long before someone snaps them up?

Would actually look great up on the wall at home.

What a beautifully crafted board.
As good as the photo's look they don't do it justice.
Looks incredible in the flesh.
Hang it up high so it doesn't get covered in drool and grotty finger prints.
Or maybe use it as a demo

If you decide to sell it, you should make all potential buyers fill in an application with assurances on where they intend to store the board, how they would maintain it and what types of water they expect to use it in. I can think of one or two regular customers of yours who don't qualify.

I picked mine up today and despite the rain and wind it was launched on Brisbane Water.

I have already made the deck grip dirty, im very naughty.

That would look perfect on my classic L. Francis Herreshoff ketch. I am sure I saw almost the same board at the Coffs Harbour paddle race last year and had a "momment" with her!

The board is really cheap when you think about how beautiful it looks, the real expense is attached to rebuilding the woody to put it on top. It would be a crime if it was on the wrong car. Then you would need the perfect beach house to have it casually leaning on the railing on a sunday morning, reckon that wouldn't be cheap. Total cost, just a thumbnail sketch is $1.4 mill.
