Billboard why not go an earthy colour like that last singlefin Arkgee put up.
To be honest I really like pastels - never used to prior to riding a sup - surfing with a paddle has made me a bit feminine I think
I have actually made my colour decision - phoned Tully and its underway. I am pretty confident that everyone is going to hate the colour
The board is going to be a 9.3 x ? x 3 and is being created for my ever so sheepish return to longboard comp's. It's debut will be at the Woopi comp' in November. I have really no idea what the shape is gunna be, I just rang Tully and said I am gunna start doing some comps again and want a suitable board for an old broken never-has-been who needs a ship load of paddle for the big fat points and will also handle a dumpy beachy. The only thing I have really had any input into was the colour - the rest is up to TSJ.
Yes, I know it sounds dodgy letting a shaper have full reign over the board shape/design but I think it challenges both you and your shaper to constantly re-think and adapt to the changes in how and where you surf and I don't care how hot you think you still surf as you get older - YOU DON'T
and you really have to look at new ideas to get the most out of your boards to allow you to spend more time on the water, actually catching waves and having fun and less time bitching about your board or the surf or the crowds or some other lame excuse for being on the wrong equipment.
Ok - rant over - see what sup has done to me - GAY AND SELF-OPINIONATED
Oh yeah - not that theres anythng wrong with that
