Hi guys, just a heads up these boards are now available at Australian Waterman. Footage coming in next few days. Great to have some swell back after what the guys on the WSL had to deal with this last couple of weeks.

When will someone make one that suits 100kg 6ft plus (not custom) that can be stood on when a bit of chop, or is there one already out there?

I feel for you Matt18. Maybe another size up at 5" thickness at 9' to 9'6" a little wider to get around 130 Litres do you think.
My mate is around 85kg & rides a Coreban 7ft Hyper that is about 5" thick & rips on it at his age of 65 years. So I am quite sure the 5" thickness to suit at the right length & width would work. Not much of a step up.

They look great! Would like to know more on construction material. Great price. Looking forward to the reviews.

Yes I will be keen to find out more and possibly try/ buy one when I am on the Gold Coast later this year, do they come with fins?

Hi Matt18

i took ok out one of there demo boards. It was approx 8'4 x 28 wide x 122 litres in volume if I remember correctly. It would be fine for 100 kg rider. I'm 90 kegs and it was too much board then I am used to.

^^ It would be good to demo these boards and others in winter with a wetsuit on. Reckon they would be heaps of fun in warm water.

I seen these boards on the weekend while up the goldy, for the money they look good for the average guy who don't wanna spend $2k on a carbon board.
