yes MR I was down but it was not social - I did manage to find a few mins to race into Dion for some more chemicals

I was flat out in the City for 3 days and nights straight. Did not bring a board down or even see any of my mates

It was sadly just work work and more work. Next time I am down your way and staying over I will definitely try and hook up with you and OB. Although my general rule these days is I do not surf when I am in Sydney. May make an exception

You and OB still have an open invitation for a north bound visit at any stage ! We can get SP down as well.

Thanks Ted, we might have to work something out over the next month or two. Don't worry about a board if you need one, I have a short board..... 9'4"........... Well, it's shorter than the 10'1" isn't it?

Hey Daneli - had 3 marginal surfs on her this week and absolutely loving it....goes like rocket despite the conditions. A lot more high performance than the original sweet potato with the rails a lot sharper and a lot less volume though the middle makes her a lot more work to surf but very rewarding. Not had any really good waves yet though to give it a good workout. I think you would be happy with either to be honest - but I am biased as I love short fat low rockered boards.

Got a bit busy over the w/e with no swell and carved out a new one 6'9*21*2 5/8 single fin - based off a Joel Tudor Diamond Egg. Some of these photos make it look a little fat - but thats just the camera angle...she is a nice long slender shape. Its got chick colours as it is a gift for a good friend for her birthday. Its been great to play around with this one so will look at making a similar one for myself once this is complete. Just need to sand back the laps , hot coat and sand her back. Might even do a pin line this time.
