the 8'8" Infinity BLine is hands down the best board I have ever ridden...BUT I've buggered my back. After heaps of begging and pleading with my specialist she agreed that I could probably ride a longboard sup because theoretically riding this type of board should involve less rotation of the lower back.

Anyway I am posting this on the off chance that someone out there in supland MIGHT be interested in swapping an Infinity New Deal for what is essentially a brand new BLine.

it's worth a try anyway!
Cheers
Anthony

Also willing to sell for any sensible offers (RRP: $2995 - immaculate condition, only ridden three times...spewing!!!)

G'day Mick
Lower back... I can't remember the technical term. On the plus side I can still surf as long as I don't try to pretend that I am 21 and still in my prime ( which I'm not!??).

Guday Trav, my name is Leroy. I count Antho my best mate and as close as a brother (the kind you actually really like).
It's incredible what happens when two people who don't bull**** and are legitimately honest nice humans work out a mutually beneficial deal. Antho doesn't talk about it but he's surfed 50 plus years and worked in the industry in Sydney for a number of years as a student delivering blanks for BB as a part time job. In those days guys didn't bull**** because they'd get a punch in the eye and then in the lineup and eventually lose their businesses. It's heartening to hear about someone not trying to make a quick quid and move on to selling furniture.
I could go on about the slick nature of so many people in the industry now, but I would rather thank you for being. A trusting, genurine and honorable man who made another honorable, trusting and genuine man a deal that will save him from back surgery. He spent a month or so surfing like a kid again. Antho's a very good surfer and that BLine allowed him to fully exploit his abilities. I had to stand around listening to people tell him how good he was surfing and then whinging all the way home how stuffed his back was!!

I hope that lots of people read this and go to' Salty Creatures' and support an Aussie with morals, vast surfing experience and integrity. Thanks for making my bro happy and stopping me have to listen to his whining in the car??...... especially when I want to complain about kooks in the lineup giving surf SUP a bad name. Also good luck with your new venture as I feel honest people should also have a chance to succeed on the Goldy and Antho said your old company 'Sea Freaks' was legendary. Taa mate!!

PS. His new board looks absolutely bitchin. Great build and it's moving when it's just sitting there. When does their next shipment arrive ?

Thanks Leroy, It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Antho. Always happy to help out where i can and genuinely touched with feedback such as yours. We are at a point in the industry now where there are a growing number of people building a gaining understanding of the equipment and looking for that next step. I stand behind the brands i sell 100% and have full faith in their quality and performance.

You spoke of the old days and how there was no bull#### and you are dead right. Its time we go back to that and i stand my morals and principles. People need to have faith in who they are dealing with just as much as they need faith in the product they are buying.

Once again, Thank you for your kind words. There is nothing better than sitting here with one of my groms while reading and explaining that this is why we are doing this.

Stay stoked guys and ill catch yas soon
Trav

P.S. We just made the next order up that will hopefully be here around January. There are a few left scattered around so if you have something in mind, i can see what i can dig up

Hopefully Antho gets on here soon. We surfed 1' to 2' ft fairly gutless waves today. Antho made them look like he was surfing 4 ft perfect Snapper. That board's qualities lie in it's unique build, what they have done under the deck is amazing and obviously the surfer. Due to my once massively muscular chest now residing just above my waistline I'd love to see a 10' 6" x 30"or 31" model. I might have to follow the Custom path. I will however try to get the board to be an upsized version of the New Deal. Honestly you should be super stoked to be an Infinity dealer, without doubt its a game changer. Don't believe me longboard SUP revolutionaries --- get out there and demo one! BTW I sure as hell don't have any affiliations with anyone but Antho.

I hope to get to meet you one day Trav and shake your hand! I'm pretty sure Antho's gone to the Doctor to try and get the enormous grin off his face cause its about to split him from ear to ear
