Is this website a free for all advertising forum or something. There's like three or four guys here always spruiking the same dam brand. That and their number of posts suggests it too.

I can see my time on Seabreeze coming to end soon.

Hi Casso, you had the right board for that day. Rocker of this board looking perfect for it too. Can you tell how much total rocker is it for this Deep Oceanboards 11'0" x 29" .
It must be helpful to me because i want to build something flatter with nose concave to belly in the tail looking like your board than my 10' 28" laird flat bottom to classic vee which got a fair amount of total rocker then i have to need some lot more consistent waves to use it properly.

Sure Kami - Nose: 140mm, Tail: 120mm.

This one does have a nose concave and deep double concave right through the tail.

I personally don't mind as long as it is "in the open", not with some fake account(s) coming to tell how some brand is fantastic.

However I cringe a bit when comers come in to ask for recommendations and some people just tells them to get only one (expensive) brand.

Most of us cannot ride all the boards, so we have experience with only a handful models, so it is normal to only be able to speak of one/some brand(s). But we should try not to give the impression that we say that the ones we rode are better the ones we don't know about...

Anyways, I have no issue with Casso posts, seems very open and honest... and most of all, informative!

Good question - It is hard to come by.

I got my can ages ago from the Hobie shop in Mona Vale but I'm not sure if they still have it (or if the shop is even still there).

WindSurfnSnow at Collaroy used to have something similar - maybe try them.

I can assure you Chappo is quite happy checking out the bird life and flowers at the beach while he waits for Casso to get waves.

Nice surfin Casso and Great vid Chappo
I have been loving my 10'5" pig at the moment. I have been using a 6.5" single fin only and it is so much fun in any conditions. Made me realise why I got into SUP in the first place. To enjoy a surf when it is unsurfable on a shortboard. It's even fun mucking around in the whitewater once it has broken.
