just went to go for a wave, put the board on the car, laid the straps over, got distracted, drove off, board came off at the top of the alley bridge. result- 2 busted out fins and a 6" rail split. kama perhaps. anyway, that's all folks
cheers and all

that sucks , big time.Good excuse for another new board.

Bugger!.. It's one of those things you'll only do once..

that sucks,

i left my straps on the back of my truck after dropping my board of at Jack Knights to be repaired. Of course the crapy old one stayed on and the good one is now someone elses

The peasants horse ran away.
That is a bad thing said the people.
We will see said the wise man.
The horse returned with the villagers long lost son.
This is a good thing said the people.
We will see said the wise man.
The son fell from the horse and broke his leg.
This is a bad thing said the people.
We will see said the wise man.
A war came and only able bodied men were required. .
This is a good thing thought the peasant

cheers
ps fire away

Jeeez.. Don't even look at those stupid red thumbs.. ..I love the pics of your new boards.. btw How's the new DC 14?

yeah, a fast board and sits nicely in the water. we had bad big conditions on the goldie on the noosa race weekend(saturday). it flew, but i couldn't stay on it. i would get well ahead of mike, fall off, he would pass me, i would get back on the board and zip past him again and so forth. even dale falls of on this board and he never comes off.thats why i wont to try that 13"future fin as a rudder on it in moderate dw run.it seems to take the edge and kick off the thing when i paddle around in the creek mouth. i will use it as a flatwater and small conditions board. so between mike dale and myself we have worked up a big ocean version that will be 28"wide, centre pulled back, surf edges and a few other things. the idea first up was to produce a fast board, we feel that has worked, just need to tune it to be use-able.should be set with two dw boards- a flatwater/ small conditions board and an out and out ocean board
cheers
ps dale takes our feedback and we make suggestions, but at the end of the day, he is the man.i'm a carpenter- builder used to working with my hands, but i just have no idea how they do it. shaper's are craftsmen and don't get the money they really deserve imo
