Yesterday was two foot max and decided to give the single fin log a run.I haven't ridden this board for around a year and boy it was fun just trimming down the line.
I bumped into some crazy Koreans,four guys and three smoking hot chicks. The guys all single fin loggers who are over here for a year,last year they spent it in the states.
They make their own boards,one is a shaper and other does the tint/glassing. Wow what awesome boards and they sure can ride old school. Bloody living the dream.

I have not seen some many smiles and hooting going on for ages. Had a good old chat and catching up next week.

ps.dont know why I posted it,just talking story I guess.

I was thinking today of going bigger from my single 9.6 to 10.0

Sure is crazy, it went well in slow small fat stuff but I was talking to this yank who was riding a single 10 footer and he made it look oh so easy.If I do go bigger I will probably flick the sup.

I wouldn't mind adding a big log to the quiver a 10er or even an 11er would be great....

So how many boards did you get out of the sup,one and a half

I rode a 10' in Hawaii - thought it was too big I like the feel of the 9'6" lay-out thinking 9'8" when I get a log and bumping the everyday mal up to 9'5"

There was a guy out at Longy on Sunday morning on a big single taking every wave because he had a real good paddler. Judging from the logo underneath it looked to be a Pearson Arrow in Tuflite and I can only assume it’s the 10’ CJ jobby.

The guy didn’t look much lighter than me but he sat a lot further out of the water, that’s the bit I can’t understand.

Because it’s a board I’ve been interested in for a long time, I know the volume is listed at about 77cc whereas mine is 100cc, that’s why I got it, so I would float better and get on more waves, but this guy was creaming me.

I know why they have less volume, it’s because they are thinner through the length than mine is, regardless of the fact that they are 24” wide while I’m 23.25”.

What am I missing? Is this dude a lot lighter than he looks or does the additional ¾ of an inch in the width make all the difference?

give more info on the redline mac flat bottom???

Mine,classic model.nice had edges in the tail real drive on the face with double vee through the tail and nose concave the ultimate trimmer with some sting oh square tail.

Saw they do it in a pinner now - like the look of the square better, it's slightly pulled as well (about a 1/4" I think) if I remember correctly.

.i tried saving one of the boards to save him a swim but no thanks from him,rude c... next time i'll just let it go. hopefully out there tomorrow.

funny asea love ya work

it would prob look better in real life as the white throws me a bit.nice board though,mac if you are after an old logger i will give you a couple of sites where they sell them.

there's a 1966 dillon restored 9'3''x22''x3'' $1300ono prof restored dolphin fin looks good.

Hi latlong, what type of board is the 10 footer,welcome aboard

I was thinking of a tint the same as this but red,why they go faster [}:)]


What do you guys think

I'm a bigger fan of blue on boards and not so much red...

remember mac likes red for fast and dangerous. don't cross him in the line up because next time mouthguards will be required. just a warning.

oarr asea, your so funny mate wasnt me

ok spoke to the factory today the all new fb will be out for summer,hehe I will be one of the first haha well before summer watch this space

Mate I have not really looked into it however my FB is a couple of years old and they have made some changes since mine, I am due for an update FB so I didnt want to buy the current model knowing a new one is just around the corner.
They are pulling in the nose, slight change in the tail ( not 100%) and the rocker is different to my old FB.

The board is not due for release just before summer ,so I think its a secert atm
