hey DJ,

My naish 11'6 has the mast track it does stand out a little bit doesnt bother me.

I think i have read somewhere that you get a plug for it when you buy it, mine

didnt come with one and i forgot to ask when i picked it up. It doesnt get in the

way though i might ask next time.

yep the 11'6 still has the mast track, we stock them where a work and i can tell you its still there, havent seen the 10'6 so i cant say about that. sound intresting, but not really functional. but if it works for naish it must work, all hail robby

When i picked up my board they had some 10'6 there but i didnt notice it (to rapt

in my own board) I looked on the naish web site and th 10'6 on there shows a

track, maybe its a new change!

Nice looking board hey DJ i love the look of the wood veneer, so when are you picking up one?

Hey DJ,

Have you ever been to any of SHQ's free demo/lesson mornings that they advertise on their web site?

I saw that advertised on their site well before the day it was meant to start...and was looking forward to the day it was advertised to start...They said from about 10am on there would be boards to demo, people to help out and all that jazz.

I got there at 10 sharp..It was a perfect day...I paddled around..NO ONE!!!..I came in and walked around..Their demo boards were loaded on the trailer nearby and ready to go..but on one was around..I asked at the shop on the beach..They knew nothing.

I paddled around until about 1pm..and still no one....Then I went home very dissapointed..I expected a huge turnout for the first day..or at least someone.

I asked at the shop a couple of weeks later what happened..They said.."If you wanted to demo a board you should have tee'd it up with the shop first"...Jeeez!

Anyway..I've not been back to another.

BTW...While I was in there today I picked up one of their flyers..Check it out..Lets hope more turn up for this one..

Champ...I was looking at the 10' Laird or C4..but I think the 10'6" Naish might be a better allrounder...I just need to work out how to pay for it..

BTW...Have you put some plastic electrical tape or something around the edges of your paddle blade and lower shaft..If not I recommend you do it before using your new board in the surf..You don't want to ding up the rails of your new board..

Also FYI...I got to try a carbon paddle for the first time yesterday...I was very dissapointed..

Sure it was a little lighter..but only a little.

The shaft felt flexy on the beach but paddling it didn't feel much different to my alloy.

The short fat stubbie handle didn't feel as good as mine..Maybe it's just because I'm so used to mine.

When I put any power into the stroke..Wobble, wobble, wobble...The blade would not go straight..It fluttered all over the place.

So if you do lash out on a new carbon paddle..Try before you buy.
