Could it do with higher pressure to flatten the rocker out a little? Think I'd be using a compressor

I don't know why but the word 'banana' comes to mind.. and it's not even yellow..

Great vid Paul.. That must'a been a cold morning on the Yarra.

Great soundtrack.

Pumping em up is a workout in itself. The last 20 pumps were really hard work. I never got to try mine on a downwinder, and I always thought it would go pretty well - could imagine the big rocker would work pretty well in the bay swell. The ULI I had was also surprisingly heavy.

Although steamroller get's it going in the surf, personally I didn't think it compared to a real board. Great for learning ,if you are after durability and have limited storage space though.

how much do they sell for

Im lookin at gettin a couple for me and the missus for next year. Might have 4 months on a construction project in the Phillipines. recon they would be perfect for cruisin the coast.

What a great product - it fits a specific use and from the video it sells me..

Any half serious outdoor person who might be travelling practically ANYWHERE in oz could really get some v enjoyable use. And what about city dwellers who live in units...

Chuck it in the boot, whip it out and just add air!

Guy's below is an explanation about the rocker the from Jim (the inventor).

I'll contact that guy through my Aussie distributors and get the rocker fixed. All he has to do is reverse the roll-up or better yet, inflate to the max and weight the center 6 or 8 feet with anything heavy, while the opposite ends are elevated. I used two sawhorses and my tool boxes to weight the board down. The board must be inflated to the max and weighted beyond what you want in the end, but it works. The problem was these two or three 14's were completed and then packed immediately for shipment by sea to OZ, so they cured in the party whistle position and just need a good stretch out.

As for the pumps they have certainly come a long way, the previous pumps did struggle with the increase of pressure, now the new pumps are almost effortless.
