Wow, that looks great! I need a board like that for summer here. I like the fin set up, you can muck around with heaps of different set ups there

Looks like hours of fun

Cheers doggie. I need to get a suitable fin to ride it as a single but I'll be riding it as a quad for a while first. Down the track I might get something very similar in a 6'8 or A 6'10. Its pretty flat rockered with a nice little bit of tail kick. I reckon it'll go pretty good. This is the firth board I've had off Grant Miller and they have all been really good. I rode this one yesterday.

Gee, I like the outline on that one. Its similar to one of my shortboards, maybe a bit fuller in the nose. What size is that one?

Thats an 8 footer. I usually take it out in better waves. Here's a 7 footer as well.
Its a thruster set up and a good paddler. The way crowds are going now I want to be able to catch waves.

Probably close to 100 miles away but in 30 + years of surfing I've never had better boards.

Hey Doggie the board goes unreal. I rode it yesterday in clean waist to head high waves. Quad set up works really good.

Yea IMO quads are the way to go, have ridden a 7S fish over here a few times as a thruster and quad. It went so much better as a quad, heaps faster down the line. Sounds like a great board mate. Stoked

It looks better in the new board shots but pretty bad in the others. I'll have to speak to the missus about that. I reckon she can do better.
Anyway there's more important things than lawns.
