G'day Baba... is your 7S PU or epoxy? I have the PU model and got up to 112kg and had no issues with it...

lol, might have to get a egg soon.....

You allready have a SUP thommo

What the?! I'd have never figured it...

Nah - I'll admit to owning a 9.1 McT for the summer grovel - but I can't see the appeal of an SUP... certainly not in Perth metro...

I got a 9'2 Mal its 25 yrs old and the owner has had it that whole time.
Wish me luck guys. Apparently its had a few repairs but still in good working order it only cost $200 so im pretty happy with that any tips on what to look for ?
hopefully i never bought a dud.

Post a pic mate and we can have a look. Also post it in the Longboard forum, those guys think they are experts

Hi GPA,
I found myself in a similar situation, I'm 59yr and surf a lot in Sydney in the 60's, Deewhy, Freshwater, Manly.
I've been distracted for the last 25years and wanted to get back in the water.
I looked at designs that would allow me to ride short boards,Fire Wire and similar with ease in paddling. I'm 5'8 and weigh 75kg, I happened to speak to a friend who required the same specifications and had just bought a new board, which ticked all the boxes, that board was a Bourton, designed and shaped buy Murray Bourton or Muzz as everyone knows him by. The board is the Fat Bullet, I bought the 6'6 but could have gone shorter, I suggest you may like to take a look, Good luck with your search.
