Well I think it's time to announce the news.

After more than 10 years riding for Naish, I have decided to part ways to join the Fanatic Australia Team. I am excited to see what Fanatic have install for SUP, as they have always been a leader in technology and designs with their windsurfing products. I am already really stoked on their rides and look forward to seeing them grow even more with SUP in the future.

Great news JB!

A Man's gotta have his toys!

Looking forward to getting my hands on one of those tasty 12'6" weapons.

See you in a few months at the Mambo. And remember.....we did pioneer the sup/sail thing there in 2007. Visionary, I'd say!!

Call me silly but if I already knew the answer why would I ask the question? Do you know exactly what people you know do every day at work? A but confused on the motivation for the wise crack though???

I must be silly as well cause Bruce (Mckee) is/was one of my best mates and I chatted to him recently from China but would'nt have a clue what SUP company he was involved with.

Anyways JB, good on ya mate, I'm sure you will do well on em, look forward to seeing it at next weeks club comp.

Well done JB - looks like that round of beers that Quinny produced out of thin air the other night worked a treat.

No pressure at the next SPSC comp - don't let us non-sponsored riders beat you!

Good on Bruce. I spoke to him last week as well and he never mentioned this one. Sounds like he is enjoying the Karaoke.

Its used to be like that here, but now they are all seperate here in AUS!!

Naish and Fanatic have nothing to do with each other.

Hey Goaty and CMC,

Bruce does design the whole range of surfboards but as Goaty said earleir he's not in to SUP at the moment. The SUP range is shaped by Sebastian Wentzel.

See you on the weekend.

Hey JB,

That big long board makes it looks like you're going to race? Is it true or do you just plan on cruising even easier.

Wingenuity are still listing Fanatic and Naish as brands they import on their site. Has that changed?
