Look at Ronnie Goddards in Coffs , great boards and custom made , he has a few designs around 8ft (V8 and the M8) and from what i have seen quality and preformance to suit

Great guy as well with many years of experience and ideas.oh and price is great as well

Come on LL you have had 2 of them recently and also ridden a third for a while. Maybe you should be doing the advising

I am new to the mid-length game. Chrispy just brought a nice looking one from SDR that he is raving about.

I would kill for an 8' Vouch Rolled-V. Might be toward the traditional side, but the couple I have ridden went incredible. Just make sure you place the fin forwards.

On the scale of things I am also impressed with the Scorpions. Like a shortboard off the tail and trim like a full size mal.

After the last week of waves,I could easily have my midlength as one board quiver, if forced to..not a mini mal shape. I'm also very much in love with this single fin feeling.
For all the time I bagged Simondo, I now apologise. I'm still not able to put it into.words.

For simnilar reasons, a mate who owns a hipster surf shop in Manly describes the Scorpions as a "Quiver Killer". Regardless, I still want him to give me a good discount on a Vouch Rolled Vee (Dreaming)!

And me, I seem to recall a good drubbing from you about the description of my 7'6" vquad.



Tweet...No harm, no foul, play on!


Regarding Tak scorpions I have a 6'8" that was killing my quiver for a couple of years...until I got my 7'6" Woosley Vquad.
The poor scorpion hasn't been in the water since (and thats about 6 months or more now)

Hey Cuttlefish, you moved on from McCoys? Geoff does Zots and Potbellies up to 7'6" now, I'm getting my 7'6" Potbelly next week, should be excellent for small fat waves.
