Mac raised half a point about the 2nd half of your user name!
I'd love to have a surf on a 12 footer like that.

9'1 is more fun than 6'1

- Why 9'1?
- Because it's a sh!t load more fun than 6'1 !!

From Dave Parmenter

A surfboard distinctly longer and broader at the nose and tail than a conventional"short" board; usually over nine feet in length and 22" or more in width, often with a rounded nose, based on surfboard designs pre-1968.

Seeing I have repented and sold all of my surf sups am I allowed in the longboard room?

When you want glide there is only one board and it aint a Mc T.

Foiled rails to fool the water into thinking the boards are thin, subtle concave in the nose for nose rides, three fin options to allow broad range tuning for conditions and advanced (forward) vee so you don't have to be on the tail to turn. This surfboard is fast, fast, fast.

I've just said my four & a half Hail Mary's - geez that's a lotta lotta board .... twenty six and a quarter ...... four and a quarter

Hey pup this board was designed as a SUP / big wave gun for riding sunset from the Munoz ultra glide longboard series. It has rediculous nose rocker to stop it purling on steeper drops.

On big days swell rolls in through Port Phillip Heads and starts breaking out real wide. Its an easy paddle on a board like this and the length of ride is insane.

This board is just as much fun in 3 inch ripples as six ft and it has speeeeeeeed to burn. Big Boys Ripping Tool for the 110kg plus club

Did you say SIC

12.6 X 30 please looking for a cheap deal.

pi$$ing rain...bored...thought I would browse the forum...noticed nobody really answerd this question...and its allways been a bit of a pain to me and caused quite a few arguments...the comp longboard is 9'0" and over right?...the arguments were how that is measured...if you measure 9'0" over its curve (depending on how much curve it has) it will have lost about an inch if you measure it in a straight line, ie measure the deck....so if you were to rock up to a comp where the official used a measuring stick (9'0" measured along a straight line) and your longboard was 9'0" measured along its curve...it would be deemed an illegal length and you are out of the event...if the official used a tape measure along its curve it would be leagal...so most shapers shape 9'1" and over to avoid this dilema...whats an inch? you might say...well its quite a bit in a longboard certainly when you are a small pearson like myself looking for advantages...I would allways get into arguments with officials stating that I made the board...I know its 9'0"...to the answer..("no its not...look it fits inside the measurement on the stick")...I used to call it the devil stick I remember a debate I had with a good mate of mine...Paul Joske of Valla surfboards and he said he measures the boards on the deck...staight line....my answer to that was...if you were a fencer Paul... would you measure a curved fence over its curve... or from point to point when you were giving the customer a price? his reply was... "good point"....so thats why I think we have this mind set that they have to be 9'1"....if your not into comps and are small in stature get the thing made however you want.

Thanks for answering the question Ron... I knew it had something to do with board length for comps - but not the background. Thanks for clearing that up!

^^^^

I wouldn't have a clue clearly

I do find myself enjoying bigger boards tho
