This gives you an idea of how the new style of board goes.. Check out the crazy footage in the second half..

Looks great. Any more info ... dimensions, weight, price ..... where do you get them?

Looks bloody narrow .

Thanks ...Yeah that should be easy.. I have footage of that already but I am new to this video editing stuff. The board is designed by Aaron Bitmead (who is my brother in law) under the Gulliver label. I know he has been changing things around ie bottom vees and fins,rocker lines etc. with this design now for a long time now with Simon. This board is 7'5" and 95 litres and I am 82 kgs on a good day. I stand up on it for hours on a session and have moved on from my other style of board as it is quicker lighter and turns faster. I will have to find out the other dimensions... I will put them up tomorrow. I feel very lucky to have surfed this board and am very excited about it..

Cheers porchey the footage would be great. So much interest in these boards at the moment.

The waves are perfect - I guess you could surf on the backdoor of the kitchen or even on the kitchen sink in those waves.

Hi porchey about fins , today for a session in 2 foot waves i report that i change from H2 large in front for H2 medium leaving the 2rears one same position and size (medium). So it goes more cranky down bottom turn and more drive in the face with the full H2 set in medium size. The medium size allows me to bury rail, wing and tail easier before the large front fin make me to much flying on the front fin surface rather than the planning area of the board.

I'm 78kg and my board is 6'4" 82liters.

Nice vid thx

short arcs without the dishpan effect

It is the rider that dishpans, not the board :-)

porchey73: Really nice video, and camera setup.

Kami yes, I tried my Simmons in quad and it was horrible, the board wanted to turn too early before setting a rail properly. It works on pulled in tails, but wide tails benefit from fins quite far back I guess.

What an amazing view from that camera gizmo thing on your head.

Board looks super fast and responsive.

Well done Porchey.

Great vid angles. Love the way it swings around rather than being in the fixed position. Any chance of a photo of the helmet cam?

I know that Azza has designed boards in this Box style that are bigger as well. I will get the dimensions off him and post.

Sorry can,t agree with that. Some boards like to dish pan more then others even for the very good surfers.

Yes there are dish pan ers out there' I,ve seen them, why even done it myself

Go Prochey legend head swivel cam , classic mate

Porchey, that was red hot, but I should have taken a Kwell before watching it.

how tall are you as well? IMO that really affects stability. Mind you, that footage looked so glassy and clean you could stand on anything!

i should have mine from Simon next week.....

cheers

I am 174cms.

Yes please , just add 10 ltrs , 2 inches and a fraction wider . I'll have one like that . That's a great looking board . Who wants to make me one ? Anyone .

Good to see you sharing the stoke there old mate as well as adding some new concepts to the water footage. As others have said it looks like a pretty unique camera mount design that you've developed and are no doubt on the road to quickly patenting!!

Just need you to take me up on my offer to borrow one of my 14' race boards and come down for a few sessions at the Alley with Kelly, Bear and everyone else.

Cheers
