Still got two surf tech Lairds and love them but when they die I'll be definitely be looking at one of these . I hope they've got their construction problems sorted

Sweet looking boards! Love the profile... Not much rocker, relatively thin rails, really nice thin tail, I reckon they will fly!

Any one the prices in AU$ yet ?

and the Surrator looks quite nice too

Did he say when they would be available in Perth, that 9ft 6" has my name all over it

The dimensions have changed a bit, check out new Spec's below.
I'm with you smh,have the 2015 10'6" & loving it with no construction issues but would upgrade to the 2016 model for sure.

carbon/PVC
8'6x29"x3'9 103 litres 8 kg 7.2 kg
9'0x29.5"x4.0 113 litres 8.4 kg 7.5 kg
9'6x30"x4.0 124 litres 8.9 kg 8.0 kg
10'x31"x4.1 138 litres 9.4 kg 8.5 kg
10'6x32"x4.3 155 litres 10.2 kg 9.3 kg

Also Honeycomb/carbon fin upgrade in these models

They're wider than the old surftech models. My 10'6 is 29 1/2 but pretty much the same volume as the new model 10'6 . I'd probably look at the 10 footer. I really like the way they're thinned out and the low rails . Just like a blown up long board.

On a different website the numbers are the same except for the litres on the 10'6" at 142:
NAME CONSTRUCTION COLOR LENGTH WIDTH THICKNESS VOLUME WEIGHT
SURFER SEMI-PVC + BAMBOO SKY 10′ 6″ 32.0″ 4.30″ 142 22.49lbs

I also have the Pearson Laird Surftech 10'6" - a great board.

So these new boards are wider and lower volume and lower weight, so must be more thinned out.
Mine, the surftech, was already very good.

But, Wow, I'd like to try one of these brand new ones,
yeah maybe the 10' footer with the wider 31" width.

Anyone noticed the Quad box's in a different location than the last models ?

Yes, the last combo of 4 fins was more a Twinzer set up more than a Quad. IMO that past Twinzer is more accurate fin set up on SUP rather than Quad , thruster or 2+1 like this new one.
