Oh dear!

when they get the handle off and glue it back on, they are going to send it around australia for everyone to paddle and make a movie of it -WOW

That'll never happen. It may get cut and glued but that's it

I pulled this one from another thread STU, I've deleted a few words.

It might only help after you've recovered and got some professional advice but experiment with pulling less weight to reduce the forces on your wrist on each stroke; shorten the back end of your stroke (where you're least efficient) or (gulp) lose some weight (if that is an option).
The first option might mean you have to compensate with a slightly higher stroke rate but I've seen Philipino teams blazing at 120 strokes per minute so there is room to play with it.

Also, if you're bending your wrist when you pull, maybe try strapping up your wrists to train yourself not to do it so much.

WHO AM I? From one floor down.........

i've had a 17'4 bullet, a 12'6 bullet and have paddled a 14' bullet. i've got a carbon 14' bullet on order to compliment a new narrower lh 14' being made now.

Can not believe that you do not have room for one of Macs old boards in that quiver of yours........actually whats your shortboard quiver looking like at the moment? You used to have some nice ones from memory.

ted i've got the 9'4 sic and the 7'4 jp as surf craft. i'm enjoying the 7'4 because most of the 8'6, 8'8 etc have the same kind of turning arc so it can get a bit so so in ordinary waves. the 7'4 is like a buzzbox fish. different arc's and turns = fun.

general day paddling the lahui kai is me. really like them. just gone for a narrower one- 25.5 inches.man it's a weapon. getting glassed now.

i have to wait for a 14' carbon bullet till the end of feb. for those full on days. the wood version is just too heavy

so fingers crossed its looking like a 4 board quiver. 2 race, 2 surf. mind you if a cheap second hand 17'4 bullet comes up well

Well Pup the Splice is the ducks nuts and the Sunset well we never made it past first base as far as friendships go.

How's the cruiser going Mac, any progress pics?

No photos guys,the board was shaped today and the artwork is required by Monday so a couple of weeks.

I didn't want to bore you guys again with progress pic's and also the days of our life's artwork mini series.
