you know like free style skis or snow boards. meaning not necessarily the fastest race board on the planet, but a board you are going to have a lot of fun on in gnarly conditions( and most likely to be in front in those conditions anyway)

I know the lucky bugger who will be paddling this in the next few days and by the looks and sounds of it, it should suit him perfectly.

And while the black looks sick, it would only last about 2 seconds here before it blew up! I think a paint job is in the future but man it looks nice in the black.

nobody wonders why a carbon ski does not blow up? let him breathe somewhere...
But I agree I like white

maybe this comment was tongue in cheek - i am not sure

i think its great when people use video to promote gear - so credit due for trying

but handheld wobbly shots, no mic on speaker and sound up and down all over the place - a professional video this does not make.

2 points for trying - but unfortunately this level of production subconsciously projects a level of quality and attention to detail well below that of the product itself.

The Australian SUP custom build industry is a cottage industry – subsistence level for those involved at best and with Aus population and labor costs it will never change. Budgets for “professional” marketing are a pipedream.

If we want to continue the unique ability to have boards shaped to our requirements, local conditions and experiment with ideas we need to support the local builder's efforts whenever possible.

I think most understand DC is a great shaper; post production video management is not his expertise.

So my suggestion as one would assume “reflex films” it is yours? Do a vid for them for free, I am sure they would appreciate and welcome the support.

here here i agree as anyone who knows DC tec **** is not his gig but boards he is on it that bit of vid was done on a i phone he would be the first to say it was not the best think there is some better stuff coming ,i know this last week he has smashed out boards for crew going to the nationals just to get them on the water and also a few wave boards for the guys out west huge effort DC is true champ
Aloha (reflex films )

You would be hard pressed to find someone as pro custom boards as myself - i ride custom sailboards and have even shot some doco / promo for custom guys for free

i think its great that we have Australian based manufacturing of SUPS

I have seen manufacturers start as cottage industries that now make thousands of boards per year - they did this by striving lifting their act in all areas - starting out less than perfect - but with passion and yielding awesome shapes initially -picking up tweaks to the rest of the business as they go along.

So to listen to people that reckon something is " good enough " or even to regard praise of averageness is dangerous in the long run.

I understand the whole operation is run on the smell of an oily rag.

short of flying over to QLD and shooting a video for free - i will suggest a $70 tripod and a "glyph: - which is a little iphone tripod mount

Shoot the talking/ voiceover bits really close to the camera/ phone (so the mic can pick up sound nicely) - or consider using the phone as voice recorder 15 cm away from your mouth - and lay that over some nice action and close ups of the board

Stick to that and i am sure the next vid will be a step along the path to excellence that passion usually delivers.

As for the advise to Relax - i will never relax - as i am always trying to up my game.

I really do wish DC the best moving forward.

Ha ha sensitive little possums

I know everyone on this little discussion and you could not get better advice than reflex's. Dale has a fantastic product that deserves better pr. If a qlder can take on board (sorry) reflex's advice and get a professional presentation together it would help his cause.

The board looks great Hollow boards rock love my aircore. Stimo i bags a demo when you get yours

what does it weigh? Looks mental!

Couldn't agree more. These guys are professionals who are top of their game.
Both offer solid info and advice on this forum. Nothing better than free advice from the Pro's!

^^^^ease up turbo.. i knew the video was filmed on a iphone before it was up here. was meant to be a funny taking the piss aimed at cmc,for cmc. i should have alerted everyone first before that it was a joke before people cried and the experts came out. wow people lighten up ffs

Hear the main man back safe and sound after a big night with the WA boys and doggie
Well done to all the crew who took part in the nationals looking forward to maybe a flat water hollow board ?????????
