a few of you guy's are waiting for your new boards to arrive or are thinking of the next best thing.

So what are you getting or what are you thinking

A nose rider

Yes, I know how stupid that sounds given my overall ability, or lack of.

But if I could find one that would put up with having a 100 kg + lump stuck on the end of it for a few seconds, I think I may have a chance of doing it.

A 9'6" in the pink may do the job but it would cost me near a grand and a half to find out for sure

Waiting for the new 9'6" to arrive should be here this week or next - thinking of doing a weekend trip to Cressent when she arives, lot of driving but would be worth it if there's a good forecast to have the first "head wetting" there.

Depending on how it goes I might get another same length little more rocker with a bit of width pulled out of the nose and a pin tail for the local beaches.

After that is some sort of biscuit/pod/bonzer/hull 6'10" board for next summer, just to hard to ride my shortboard in crappy mush just not enough planning area. And a new 6'10" shortboard for next winter or maybe this one depending on how the current one holds up.

If I could find a good used Kiterace board for a good price I might snap one up for the winter kiting.

Just have to finish some sanding and then the SUP is finished for small days I'm too lazy to surf. Yes it has taken this long.

All I need is some decent banks in Manly and I'm gold.

yeah cc, my trip north is due at the end of April and I always say to myself, I must pull into Crescent, but I never do it. Too many good riders in too small an area for me to compete with.

Back to my nose rider, I doubt I'd ever be able to get my hands on a 9'6" ITP loaner but it would be nice.

the only reason I'm thinking this way is because I'm going so well on the 10'6" Munoz and it would rate as one of the most un-nose ridable boards on the planet.

Even if you paddle a half inch further forward than you should, it will pearl in an instance.

I've seen a couple of guys that ride this model and the 11' one really well and they don't even bother to wax for the first 12"s or so.

Yet as bad as they are, I can still manage a cheat'n 5 on the odd occasion and that's inspired me.

Even though my local shop has the 10'2" DT/NR on the shelf, I still reckon the 9'6" would be preferable because it's got a width of 23.75 rather than 23.25 plus a thicker nose and another 2cc of volume.

I solved your dilemma !!

Fireball does all

Might have to sell a SUP, or 2 or 3 to make that wish come true

I've committed myself to selling;
Snapped & Repaired McT Original 9'1 - $250
a 6'3 Thruster Fish that you haven't seen yet.
9'1 Billy Hamilton Hyperform Tuflite - $550
Wayne Lynch 6'10 Squash Tail - $375
Merrick Single, 6'6, light green - $400.

Very interested in the 6,6 Merrick, can we haggle?

Simondo said...

We can probably haggle ! The fin alone is $75.... Without a fin, there could be more room to haggle!

Actually.... probably can't haggle much.

Easier to send with out the fin down to $325

The board quotes from CI are too good to pass up...
Which means Doggie probably scores a 6'6 single!

Mac, I average 3 boards per year. Maybe just over.

Oh yea!!!
