Heard a rumour of a DeBetta/Mitchell team on a board with a hull shape modelled from an america's cup boat.......

Hey Stuey heard that Ryan Taylor & Partner are entering it and Guy Walker & Partner are entering both teams are trainign hard on the Gold Coast - I think a little bit of in house rivally might be happening there.

Also Ryan has just opened a new Restaurant in Kirra - everyone invited there for a feed after the race.

Yeah Mick's 18 is on the water I'll be training with them tonight , I saw it after it was shaped it's a wild looking machine.I'll let you know how it goes against the 3 other DC16's. Clarky's E-J18 will also be doing the race so thats 3 18's.

Just got back from a training session with some crew.

Mick's board looked great and was keeping up with the DC16's

I had a quick go on Dale's latest DC16 and it was pretty fast.

Wish i could afford one.

the WUDUKU17 footer is a big board and just something i wanted to do ,to catch the bumps on the the big windy days .got some fine turning with the rudder system but it was fun paddling with currumbin creek crew and for the amount of paddling i have done it went well and is in the ball park in the flat water .I think i will make a smaller volume one now and narrower and get it lighter ,so come on down tuesdays and thrusdays 5.30pm for a paddle at the currumbin creek and have a laugh at the going ons .
p.s this board will be up for sale soon ,so i can make a model 2 ,$ 1600

Ya never know Benny-boy, we are looking at possibly having a get together and demo day up here at Noosa. Bit of a bbq, some sup drag-racing, (no that's not racing in womens clothes), $30 entry fee and you go into the draw for one of our new 14's. Just an idea at the moment......Stuey

P.S. Hope your Dad is on the mend.

A free board would be sick but it's no use having a 14 footer if there are guys racing on bigger boards.

Well, if you win the 14 footer then Jake - you could just give it to me while you hold out for a 16.

Don't forget there is generally a 14' class - so you won't have to compete with the 16' boys.

Has the 572 hit the water yet?

Ben, we are absolutely blown away! The 572 hit the water this arvy and it has exceded even my high expectations. My son Ryan just spent 3 hours editing an awesome 4 minute vid went to put the title on and lost the lot into cyber-space! He nearly threw the computer out the window but calmed down and is going to re-do it in the morning. It should be up by lunch tomorrow and will put an end to any debate about the value of waterline length! Seriously the thing motors, especially with Woogie aboard as test pilot.........Stuey
