Sorry haven't any photo's yet. I have a 9'4" x 29" x 41/4", double concave bottom, with a square end, and 5 boxes so I can play around with fins. I love this board!!

gee, that's gotta hurt phill- posting surfing photo's of your self, so long ago
hope it's all going well for you
cheers

Hey Mark,

Not surfing for 24 weeks isnt doing much for my sense of humour actually its killing me but, my DC is still happy its surfing even though I am not!

It has done the round of most of my mates, the hard thing is trying to get it back but I understand that!

I think Rick has it at the moment.

When I finally get back in the water I am going to get Mr Chapman to magic me up a big boy 9 stringer double carbon kevlar steel reinforced 16 QE2 / Titanic Model

Hopefully it will float me

Phill

So Lacey,whats the turn around time for a custom

Surf SUP and a 17 foot flatwater SUP


and what would you suggest for just cruising the canals and creeks around the GC

for cruising the canals and creeks I would suggest you to try the DC 12'6 BOP as I know dale has one to demo. It is just a good compromise between stability, glide, and being easy to move around.
I own one myself and I will use it a lot more that what I thought. I just come out of a good downwind this afternoon with a lot of small runners with 20/30 knots and it was incredibly fun.

Thanks for the feedback Al, dare I ask what does BOP stand for

I thought you we're reinventing the longboard quiver?

Dale has "average" turn around times on the website.

Thanks Lacey, so what would paddle fairly fast,I just want something to d-ck around on out the backyard,no racing just getting from A to B easier than my 10.6 psh. Anyone has a pic of the 12.6 BOP

here you go. sorry about photo - phone camera again

this was my best board to date. actually had this one for a fair bit

the pros of this board to paddle around are
stability because it has been made for the the battle of the paddle so you have a lot of fighting going around the buoys (the racing 12'6 is narrower and not as stable)
the glide feeling similar to longer boards
the weight for it's size(mine (oups my wife's one) is 11.7 with grip and fin)
The cons
if you could have the same feeling with an 11' or 12' board the same style it would be even more practical to carry. so reducing it a bit could be an option but then you can't try it before....
Go and have a look at this you will understand more how easy this board is to paddle. I guess if you try it on flat water you'll be convinced and will be looking for this kind of feeling when you paddle

I'll bring mine to currumbin river next week to try something, if you're not far from there you can have a go

Here's a few.

whooooo Hoooooooo... Thanks heaps Guys This is just what i wanted .. Casso!! Mate that 8'10" is so sweet and Piros 9'2" as well..I also like OG's 9'4. I definitely seem to be leaning towards the swallow tail..
Casso.. I met you out at one mile on the Friday before the comp.. I was the local on the green/yellow jimmy lewis... what tail does your 8'6 have on it??

Yeah Ben, I remember - I guessed this was you with that username.

The 8'6" has a rounded pin - goes great - holds in on the big stuff yet easy to throw around in the small.

ah ah..
I was going to ask if he was on one of the pic as I often see guys with his boards at the creek...
It will make it easier to approach him as I have a few questions...

What's the typical construction of these boards?

Dale can pretty much use any materials you want (with in reason).
