No Teatrea, quite the contrary. This new series of boards has been made for open ocean as rough as it gets, although it is quite quick in the flats, (Woogies already claiming it to be the fastest 12'6" that he's paddled) it wont match the original full displacement Penetrator for sheer speed. Although the full displacement hull is the fastest paddling, what we found was in heavy or extremely choppy conditions the paddler was expending too much energy maintaining balance and would tire quickly. The "storm series" is designed to get up and plain as quickly as possible when on a run and will give a more surf oriented feel when doing so. Tully and Woogie will have this board on the Gold Coast this weekend for the Roar event and it will be available to all for a test paddle. I also designed this model with ease of construction in mind to give it a very reasonable price tag.

Looks very cool.

What sort of weight is it? It looks light in the last pic.

As the real estate agents say, what enquiry price range is it?

How suitable would it be for surfing (in terms of trim and ride on small surf and straight in on wind blown slop)?

Thanks

Thanks Stuey,

from the previous thread it sounded like you were going to more of a production style board not individual customs. Thanks for clearing that up.

First impression, it looks like .......a green maserati.

Hey Gorgo,
We haven't weighed it yet but will do so when I get back to work and give an acurate measurement later on, though my guess is around 11kgs. I think policy on this site prevents me from posting prices although Tully at Laguna Bay Longboards will be more than happy to provide all information. You wouldn't take it out specifically to go surfing but Woogies feeling so far is that it will totally come alive on any size runners, (he's only had one long paddle and surfed boat wakes on it so far)
Cheers, Stuey

Great pictures and great looking board.. Thanks Stuey.

Has it been tested in rough DW conditions?.. It looks like a flatwater board.

Hey D.J.
It was only finished late yesterday arvy and as yet has not hit the open ocean it was primarily designed for. Woogie took it for a 5km paddle in the river but has a definite feel for these things and is itching to do a downwinder on it as his thoughts are that it was just born to run!
Thanks, Stuey

Great.

i see there was some green paint leftover after you guys made my green hornet

sick weapon boys

yer bucket head but the penetrator is a tough green where as the green hornet is more like kermit meets borat.......
