You could also say single fin as well maybe. I love my mals set up as a single fin but when it comes to big sucky days those side fins do come in handy.

Yep. 6'11 and under is SB. 7'0 to 8'6 is Midlength, and 9'0+ is long. But an 8'10 is pretty bloody long too!

Agreed... 6'4" Egg is not a long board... maybe you went too small...

I went from 6'10" SB's to an 8ft min-mal to a 7'6" min-mal (both customs) to a 7'3" XL Fish as well as a 9.1 HP McT.

Caution: once you've had some volume under you it's hard to go back to a SB... just for the wave count alone - particluarly in small crowded summer waves.

Chrispy, you'd love it! Big long walls, acres of wave face and no current. Water is lovely and warm in a black sealed 3/2 filled with warm wee!

i agree bout the corky issue doggie,i have been bounced off on take sometimes. when i go from the lb,it takes me a few waves to get used to it again. then again once im on it for a bit,im loving her again oh well i will have a totally new beast to learn how to surf very soon. Oh BIG props to simgromdo,your mate was a massive help,so thanks big time mate....ps give her a call,she misses you heaps,i thought you must of nailed her like a champ,cause she was gushing about you when we spoke[}:)]

Ripple riding is fun when there's aren't any other decent options!

Ultra Longboards for special occasions.

------------------
Trying to spell "occasion" reminded me of a joke.....

An Asian guy tried to exchange some foreign currency. On Monday he received $79 for 5000 of his money. On Thursday he received $74 for another 5000.

Asian guy say to teller, "you try rip me off, you give $79 the otha day, what's going on?"

Teller say, "fluc-u-ations". (*1)

Asian guy says, "f&%k you white guys too!".

*1 "fluk you Asians".
