Do you want a wittness account

Ok at first glance it just looked horrible I'm sad to report.

Oh not the board,the board looked fine it was Mr Lacey's fin set up,what the F is he thinking is the first thing that came to mind,I said nothing of course

I let him surf it for 2 hours solid then I told him over coffee and a new fin was fitted and the side bites deleted.
The board looks every bit a single fin,over to you Lacey

and of course we went for another 2 hour session.

I just rode as the way the fins were supplied.
But yeah I definitely going to try it as a single. chalk and cheeses result. Good solid drive, turned better. Better stability up the nose and for some reason a lot easier to cross step back.
I pretty rapt in it.

I got to thank mac for his unselfish help getting my 'pop out' board up to speed. I do like 10 ft of board

No golf balls im aware

You were saying earlier this is a Black Apache board. Time for a brand change up?

Thanks for the heads up you guys were hitting it..............

A certain bloke said you guys weren't surfing, I was going to come and play official photographer and referee/negotiator for the breakfast/coffee discussions but alas no phone call or text.

I guess that's what happens if you surf north a few times..........

Spent another couple of hrs on it today. Even at 10 ft it has some rocker so I have to be a bit more precise in my riding and where im standing and move up and down more rather then just hang around a forward on a dedicated nose rider
Example- it nose rides good but at the right time. Turns pretty good but not if your in the middle.

I reckon this board will make me a better more balanced long board surfer

You might mock me. You did when I put them on the evo 207. I wouldnt use that board any other way now.

ya got to learn to have a go with some fins mac instead of changing boards. Works out a bit cheaper too
