Surftech isn't bringing them in any more, Laird the man and Surftech appear to have gone their separate ways. FWIW the latest SUPWORLD mag has a 2-page ad for the "new" Laird boards, including what looks like the Pearson surf shapes as "The Surfer" models in a range of sizes...there is an OZ distrib listed but I don't have the mag in front of me.
Had a big fun surf one time on a rental 12'1 Laird, enjoyed it immensely & been keeping an eye out for a pre-loved one ever since (but definitely not a board for skinny blokes)...if you find a secret stash of them going cheap let me know
The Robert August "what I paddle" might be worth a look as a fallback if you're into surftech, have paddled one in flat/light chop and liked it.
