Here is my new board from Laguna Bay. It's the same length as the my blue one but it's down to 26.5 wide and we cut some out of the thickness. Wobbly is probably a bit of an understatement but I am able to stand still on it well enough.
Not sure the exact weight of it, but it feels ridiculously light carrying it and it goes amazing in some decent size waves.
Anyway here are some pictures and a video below. Check the spray as well. it's pretty sick. Oh and the board doesn't have a spray on it in the video because we were seeing if floated me first and it was a bit last minute.
Nice last wave!was that from poiling pot into nationals? Keahi,what was the width of your last sup?,also is it the same measurements thru the nose and tail,also how much thinner did Tully go? looks like you could surf that board without the paddle.

Nah that was just one wave from right out the back of Tee Tree to the beach. I think it was like 1 minute something long, lol.
My last sup was 27 by 4 and I think he took a quarter inch out of it. Not sure about the Nose and tail but its a pretty similar outline except for the fact that the other one had flyers in the tail. And yes it would work good without a paddle
you guys are sooooo lucky with the surf on hand up there, just love it when i get up there.I used to think what a perfect l/board wave but, man what a perfect sup wave.didnt pick teatree must be the different camera angle.cheers and goodluck to all at the nat / titles.

Thanks mate and yea it would be the angle. It's taken from one of the jump off rocks. finger rock if you know tea tree that well.
Keahi, love the way you surf and the new board looks great but.........I played in some haircut bands in the 80's, that music was gay as then ..........AND IT STILL IS!!!!!!!!
Hey Keahi Looks like we both launched our boards at the same time mate ( looks good too buddy) but i dont think i can put a vid at the end like that at least not without alot of editing
When you hit the top Keahi can you please sink a rail. If I was coaching you that is really where you need to develop. At this point you should be on the rail you tend to turn the board flat. All respects you are really good; I think you could be better. IMHO.

hi hilly, that's what dale was into my about my surfing.the way i had my fin setup at that stage, that what i felt i had to do or i would drift off the back of the wave cheers ps. absolutely in no way am i putting myself in keahi class by saying this
Hilly I learnt something cool from Tully the other day.My new board will be a similar shape to Keahi....only 3.5 " wider and 6 axe handles longer When you off to McGarretville btw?

Nah a bit of criticism is all good. I have been trying to do a few more turns of the rail and I think some the other turns in that vid show it somewhat. I find you need a bit more of a steeper wave to get it on rail more and it doesn't help when you have to bottom turn around people like I did on that one shot.
Bnaccas: Yes the spray is on the outside and yes it does have a clear coat over it. Yea I like that turn at 1.48. Felt like I went more on rail on that one.
Piros: Leaving tomorrow for port so can't shoot. We don't surf till Sunday.
Might not have internet over the next few days so if I don't reply thats why. Keahi
i thing i have noticed on laguna sups is the side fins are a bit further away from the rail on most boards.what is story there if tully hasn't made you sign a non-disclosure form cheers
