yes log man

you did it

Is that all you have new boards, Where is the rest of the line up.

No change for the rest i guess, Just the rippers

Hmm Maybe, I have seen laired in the timber from the pop masters/children

These are his customs, but seems as though there is going to be some sub 9 foot popouts as well.

Here you go BP, shots of new Rippers, from the zone:

Nice looking boards (806 for me!)-would HATE to get a ding to fix though-what a nightmare.

Narrower, thinner and 22 litres less volume than the 903, how do you think it would float, Casso - for your weight?

What do you reckon your DC is in litres?

I wonder what a 'minimum' pop out run would be in China or Thailand? 500; 1,000 ; 2,000?

And then what would would the cost be? Divide by the one by the other, add transport and distribution costs, and a bit for the organiser, to get per unit costs.

Then maybe we could start a Seabreeze ANZAC non-profit collective to commission a run?

I am sure we all need a 10' x 29.8733435566" in our quiver? Maybe we could do it for $800 per board?

Then think of the argy bargy we could have on this forum about getting the design right.

On second thoughts, I think I'd rather just pay $1100 to a local shaper. Maybe the competitive market has something going for it after all.

Casso said...

Dunno - I asked Dale once but he never got around to calculating it. Probably about 105. And it's 8'8" for those who don't know with low, performance rails.

Do you know if he uses AKU Shaper to do his boards? Or are they all hand jobs? The program's pretty good at giving you information, including volumes.

ahh, i think a cnc machine. doesn't readily give out litres. my 8 10 has a reduced tail and was totally thinned out, even more then casso's dales expert wiz man on the keyboard found the right buttons and it came in at 117 litres.as casso said shortboard nose, low rails,there isn't much room for going much less at my weight(78kg). it has a very small sweet spot, but the board's insane to surf.imo you can go down in volume if you have a bit more in the nose or tail or a both nose and tail area

I'm close to that weight (coupla' kilos lighter)-really like the look of Casso's 808-surprised yours came out at 117 if it's trimmed even more (although 'coupla' inches mate'). Looks like DC has a really good handle on the puffed up shortboard SUP board.

28 inches is for atheletes.
Bring on 30 inches for us fat boys

You know it scotty

Hey scotty gunna come over for a surf with you guys when the weather gets better, will be keen to check out your new board

I just sent you a PM. I never knew what was going on till today. That original PM I sent you was from reading your posts. I completely understand you being upset. I will look into what the heck is going on with this now... I just need a little more info how things ended up where it is... I'll PM you again...

All I can say is, this whole NZ thing has turned out to be something a lot harder than everyone expected it to be. Some things go smoothly and some things are like pulling teeth. This has been a trip to the dentist for all involved... Hopefully clean happy teeth when we emerge.

Compromise has been set, And deal sealed

Thanks
