cmc, i'm being careful not to go on to much, but l'll just say i'm very happy after going for a surf in ugly 3' low tide north east alley late arvo. i got a few, but decided to get out of there as sand dredging waves were starting to look messy mean
cheers

Lacey this might sound like a stupid question but is this a dw board??

yes, as much as any 12'6 is going to be. as for myself i'll be mainly using mine for training, ins and outs and surfing. i took the board out today again in onshore conditions. it's very solid and stable in those conditions. i was the only standup out surfing


cheers

Offer will still be there next weekSeriously what do you think about the boards extra volume for heavier people , i think ive gone to skinny for my weight and i bog the boards down a bit. The 12'6 fanatic i have flies in certain conditions but other times i feel like im dragging my bum.The Fanatic 14 looks like a good board for the heavier dude too.

Just rember NO boards is perfect for everything!!!!

Im hearing you mate , the board is awesome in the surf and can be very quick , but i still rekon guys 90kg or above need some extra float in their boat.

Just think pre training weight and then think post training weight, it gives you a goal to get to and might save you a whole bunch of $$$$ and training is free.

Also if you shave down you might lose a kg or 2!!!?

Lol thats what my wife rekons too , ive got a least a kilo of body hairHelps keep me warm though.

hey teatrea, it was a bit of a shock to paddle the 12'6 at training after being on the bigger boards for quite a while. but i settled in and got going. i think paddling this lenght of board at training brings out the best in ya because you have to be smart and thinking about maintaining speed etc

cheers

True , feel a bit guily about missing thismorning dont have a good excuse , other than when i woke up went out side felt the chill and decided bed was a better option

Teatree, this is the advantage of buying a locally handmade product, not only are they cheaper because there's no importing fees, shop mark up etc but you can communicate with the designer and shaper to have the board made to suit whoever wants to paddle it, and the best thing is we have two of Australias best hand shaped board manufactures training with us

I'm in love with it

Any ideas of how much and who will be stocking them??

Yeah supbelly I'm in love with mine too, they don't sell them through any shop enabling them to keep the price down, they are two grand and you just contact them by email via there website, you'll be stoked

You mean the shops who help support the whole industry? And have help get the sport to where it is now?

a fun clip. make your own mind up what you want

I was wondering when this was going to rear its ugly head in here.

Funny thing in these situations is buying locally and waiting for your product through the shops, in your case if you dont stock a particular board and a customer wants one. The customer then has a choice, wait to get one off you or go to the website and order directly.

Tbh I dont think the companies should be selling to the public off their sites. Provide info by all means but to undercut your retail outlets just isnt right I dont think. They should provide info on where their local dealer is. Unforunatly if they are overseas and the prices are cheaper people will still buy off the net.
Its a shame the way its going and the sporting industry is just one that is suffering at the moment.

Im involved in automotive parts and worked for Porsche for a while and they get killed by internet sales from overseas and by Porsche themselves. Hyundai is a bit easier as the parts are as cheap as chips and you dont hear about Hyundai enthusiests like you do with Porsche

Bad internet
