So - tell us how far the needle on the speedo lady Duke's been wound up to Hilly hang on , maybe you shouldn't

Seen the rev limiter all the way up on the track of course

14T cog on the front so not that fast, hit 300+ on my Gixxer 1000 that was mental. Glad I sold it

BulldogPup said...

haha - some class in this one & handling would be bit better eh , only my 2c tho mind you

Class and fun yes! power and handling no! Gixxer was a missile with manners.

The Hypermotard is a hoot to ride real hooligan bike

Look out Hilly, Windy is after your custom wood PSH board.

WINDY MILLER said...

I like the look or that all wood psh you were on a few weeks ago... Which model was that????

I'm looking for the 1 board does it all quiver for down here......

Think the 12er is the best one board quiver.

The custom 10er is not for sale that is a keeper

i was kinda hoping to hear a variety of takes from people in different places talking about their The Perfect Two Board Surf Quiver.

So was I but bikes are cool too

9 5 looks nice you are right about the 80's shape.

A lot of guys your way are using 12 6 bop boards in the dribble. The 10 6 looks nice I think DJ has one.

Yeah there was a 2nd hand DC 12'6 at a good price when i bought the Naish. If i'd had more cash I would have driven home with a good two-board quiver there and then. But if I get my act together and get into some more serious waves (rare around here - although there's some hefty swell on the points this week) i think those PSH boards look hard to beat. I guess your pics say it all... 2 boards might be enough - but more is better.

wavelength said...

...... more is better.

Agreed.

The perfect two board quiver is going to be different for everyone and not just because of weight or experience.
I believe East Coast conditions are usually a bit cleaner so you can get away with a slightly smaller length, width and volume board if you are looking for a performance type SUP, but also there is more long, cruisey, point break type waves so a bigger, wider board is also of more use over that side.

In the West I think we generally have shorter, steeper waves and a bit choppier conditions.
My first surf SUP was a 10'2" JL Mano and I still love it but am looking for something a bit shorter.
Because I loved the bigger JL I bought a 9'4" Mano when I saw a second hand one for sale and as much as I love it when on a wave, it is often just a bit to much hard work for me in all but nice clean conditions.

Mmmm what to get?

I am thinking somewhere around 9' by 30", I might even stick with the JL's and go for the new 9'2" Stun Gun.

Oh and my current bike is a WR250R Yamaha but yep a Duke is on the cards, and damn that Yeti looks nice.

Mano 9'9 had a brief love affair with one of these in Bali


wouldn't mind a shot on the 10'2 if yer ever darn this way

First paddle on the 9 7 tonight.

Two thumbs up more rocker and much better construction with the vacuum bagging. Tested on the rocks in and out all good. Even managed a couple of turns at Metts storms have done there job banks everywhere. Thinned the crowd out.

^ You must have got a few half decent waves at that spot you were at this morning, I was considering paddling over and dropping in to say hello

Hey Windy you can def have a go when I am down that way (and I should get down there a bit in the next couple of months)but I won't be selling the 10'2 anytime soon, love it, the 9'4 is up for grabs though.

Nice looking stick Hilly , I personally reckon you won't need the Gerry Quads .I'd be using the Pancho's in the front and controllers on the rears , they worked really well on the other Hull Rippers. start from there and work up if you need to. There is also some new Lairds which look pretty cool , size wise it in between those 2 sets.

Re the 2 boards quiver, I dusted off my 5 year old Ron House 9-10 today to take on the big beach breaks (finned with the Pancho/contoller) and it was great had a ball. Definetly would put something close to 10 in the quiver and a 8-8 or 8-11 for the second board those 2 would fill the gaps for me in all conditions.

Had SA's and PSH quads just keep going back to the GL's just love them.

Thinking of trying thruster in bigger stuff on this. Might have to borrow Bellys JMs

Piros said...

Yeah JM's 2+1 would be definitely worth a try , I bet you are frothing to try it , do you have swell ?

Been out twice. Sloppy crap yesterday and fun waist high today. No swell due for a while without onshores:(
