After an old throwaway 6.5 / 6.7m sail.. Ive just spent all my $ on a new board so cant afford to buy one.Dont care if its ugly / got repairs. needs to fit boom max 190cms & 430 mast with 48cm extension. Anyone got one in their roof / garage that they want to clear out..
Well probably shouldnt be saying as I still have to pay for it tomorrow but.. a 2008 still in the box 125 Tabou Rocket.Im paranoid that im going to catapult on my first run & wreck the nose! Ive never had a 'new' board before & would really have preferred an old dinged up one ( so would my wallet although I got it for a good price)..Ill have to research homemade nose protection as I cant afford to buy anything now as I stretched funds to get the board..

Geez Sue, If I could paint like this I would expect to be filthy rich!
Thanks for uploading them. Every now & then I look to see if you have put up any more.

Thanks for the free plug! Ive been sailing too much lately & decided to knuckle down & do my next dog portrait ( started last night ) but had some iffy symptoms that could be a heart attack & 24hr telphone nurse said go to emergency.. Got to emergency at 1.30am ECG etc 4am to intensive care cardiac ward to keep an eye on me then b 2.30 pm finally got the Ok to go..NO sleep crap I hate b hospital wards.. too make it worse today was the only day weve had a decent NE since Xmas & I was all packed to go.. Oh well I suppose I should be glad Im Ok.I can understand why people dont bother going to hospital for iffy symptoms after all that yuck but a neighbour had iffy symptons & ignored them & then died of a massive stroke few days later. He was only 50 ..Even had to get my partner to order/ pay for the new board for me..Lucky Im cleared as i dont think Id be keen on sailing if I had a dicky ticker.. There you go ..If Id died last night think how much more my artwork would be worth!Buy now just in case!......... Will upload some latest works..Remember the photos have been reduced so the original paintings look a lot better & clearer.
Ps I love your avatar.. so true! Females look in the mirros & focus on any little defects.. most males seem to like to see themselves much better than they are!
Great buy Sue, the Tabou rockets always have good writeups and you will probably find this will be your most used board for our Lake Macq. conditions. At 70 kgs, this is what I found after buying my 2010 Futura 111 3 months ago and using it with my 6.6 hucker. See you out on the Lake.
They are just brilliant. Thanks. I love the ones of the dogs. I think you should be given the title of "Artist in Residence" for the Seabreeze web site.

I reckon so too.
Thanks. Got to give credit to windextasy who does great glass art + PC Simpson who does terrific airbrush work!
if you are still looking for a sail, I've got two that I'm not using now. Both are Neil Prydes. One is a 6.6 RX2 and the other is a 5.9 VX2. Both are race sails with cams. The VX2 is in fairly poor condition and the RX2 is in quite good condition.
If you want to borrow them to see if they are what you are looking for then let me know.

try moving or using a second mast base protector up to just under the boom. with short noses the boom protector tends to be too high
