Hey Piros,
Putting the PSH on the CNC, is that ethical? Just a interesting point. I shape influenced by other boards but is it a bit illegal to copy

Hey Scotty,
He said the Ron House not the PSH. Dale is going to shape the Rons under licence. I'ts all above board.

Thats spot on Th0m0 thanks.

Just to clear the air on this I have no commercial interest in this or any Sup buisness , I paid for the board in the States but had it shipped free as a mate brought it back.(Ron threw in a board bag and t-shirt)

Yes Dale Chapman is a good mate but he also happens to be one of the best Sup shapers in Aus. So if you are considering a gun here is your chance to get one of the best and keep your money in Aus with only a small fee going back to the States and get your board in only 10 days.

Back on topic.
Took tha PSH out in some solid stuff yesterday and the big girl performed really well. For the larger bloke (105kg) the rocker is perfect. Catching waves into a stiff offshore well out to sea is still possible. Also gives you a margin of safety allowing you to escape the clean up sets as you can sit a little further out and still catch waves. Nose dived once but that was on a stupidly late drop. The board turns beautifully and has great down the line speed needed in waves that size.
Really confidence boosting board in larger surf. Only draw back is the drag when wiping out or caught inside; it ripped the ankle strap off once nice little swim in to find the board lucky it is red.
If it is an all rounder it is a damn good one. At my size I would struggle on the naish.

Hey Piros, how did your mate bring it back? Just as carry on luggage, or with other freight. Can't imagine any airline letting you get away with that big girl at the check in!
