Danelli! Don't do it..... Don't be seduced by those McT blokes..... Just more mass produced boards for the newly coiffed wannabe hipsters.....or boat shoe wearers...



Go visit your local Tugun shaper and have a look at what he has to offer in the way of classy logs that give you a point of difference and a great ride to boot.

Oh, make sure it's over 10 feet. 10'1" ought to do it......

10ft ?? Problem is I am not sure if it is a log that I am craving or just a big ass cruiser that I can take to LM and dominate. Maybe even a Tuffy that will catch the ripples of the passing fishing boats. I'm not really into nose riding, but I love trim on flat rockered board.

Since all the hipsters are now riding logs I hope you are still young, fit and less than 70 kgs ringing wet or you may not be dominating them on a similarly sized board.

Jesus....I hate vimeo clips. Bloody things hardly ever play properly.

Who does big kick arse Skip Frye style 11' plus <SPAN id=hilite class=spnSearchHighlight>glider</SPAN>s?

Anyone in Qld?

Grant Newby has an 11ft Skip Frye. I've ridden it and call it the "Ripple King"surfboardsbygrantnewby.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/11ft-glider.html

I've been scouting for a Skip Frye style Glider for a long time now with no luck - didn't realise Grant had knocked similar boards up - thanks for that link....I came across this one below and have just ordered one....different to a Glider I know but big volume and not a 'log' - that was the main criteria for me.

I've a 6'4 Sanctum Twin Keel which I've been super impressed with so had no problem buying another off them - looks both different to what we all see in the line-up and IMHO sweet to lunge into the curl with and also be a bit of a crowd beater on the north coast points.

^ cheap 2....

big tail for a gun....although I do like the block work....keen to try one on my next one.

ANother great longobaording vid...Looks like fun to me !
