I've known since I sold my fireball & only had the 10' redline that my surfing was suffering, nothing wrong with the redline just not an all rounder.

After talking with asea & seeing his Astro log I gave Gary Burden from Astro a call & ordered a board. He's a top bloke who knows his stuff, he asked me all the appropriate questions to guide him on the style of board he needed to shape.

9'8" x 23-1/2"x 3-3/8" triple cedar stringers, resin tint & hand shaped 8" center fin.

Rode it the last 2 days & it seems very forgiving, paddles really well too.

Mate that's a nice board, quality is outstanding! I think that you are happy with it ya frother

mac as doggie witnessed today I think that concave saved a nose dive, on the takeoff the nose was about 3-4" under water & it just nosed itself back up & kept going.

Just need to get to some decent waves now.

nice stik.

Try her as a single some time, she'll probably go just as good with slightly better wave entry.

Nice board Vanders,Gary gives his best and as i said i've now ordered my 4th board in a year from him.
