I personally think what Rod, DC and Lagoona are doing is quite progressive. Blane's customs as well I would imagine.

I watch all these OS videos - including the waterman league thingy - and the boards/riding never really impresses me. Watching Keiani ripping noosa, Casso doing massive tail slides on his DC and Dogman (I know he is on a pop out) turning in the pocket like a maniac is more where progressive is at for mine.

I know some of these OS guys charge big hawaiian waves but given the chance the Aussies will show em as well - just look at our Shortboarders in heavy waves. TC and Luke Egan would kick their butts IMO.

Opps, going off track and getting all patriotic now. God it's Sunday I have a hangover, better shut up now

Happy Birthday Mango and welcome to the Breeze.. . Great pictures.

It's great to have you on board here and keep posting pics and info for us.. What's your thoughts on paddling Jaws?

Just out of interest, what do you think they should be doing to be more progressive, are you talking from a weight/construction point of view or board shape/style?

Really nice looking board.

Happy birthday Mango, and yes your right no one should pass an opinion until we see or ride one of your boards.Now that you know where to find us give us the goods , we are always keen to see specifics re; weight,length ,width ,thickness ,with some good shots of the rocker ,bottom shape and rails.

Welcome Mango , nice looking boards and you are right your boards should'nt be judged before they are riidden.

So where and when are they landing first in Aus ?

Goatman agree 100%.

I love that shot of you, if your kitesurfing you can put some footstraps on the board and ride. If many of you have never kited I strongly recommend you to try it. I avoided it for years and when I got into it it is the best sport because its like the kite is your jet ski and pulling you along and your controlling the whole thing.

The carafino SUP's are allegedly selling for $749 USD in the states.......Ronnie

Makes you wonder why some other "un-named" brand might have dropped their price recently to compete.

Hey Phill, that bottom shape on the purple board looks similar to Cammo's Surfshapes.

Hi Mango,

The boards look nice but you are making it hard for us retailers........ Too many choices to get into the shop.

Good luck
