Just completed the daily double. I'm shagged!

CMC, you need my board volume calculator to work out dims for knee paddling!
The result is 9'6 or longer, x 23"1/2 x 3"1/4, at least. Full volume rails will enhance your experience, adding about 6 litres. 9'9 x 24 x 3"1/4 would be better for knee paddling.

One that you and your wife can ride,on the big side 9.6 x 23 x 3 or 9.4 x 22 7/8 x 3,anything bigger will not work for your wife,too much of a board for her to handle.

I agree with Mac....mine is 9'3" * 23 * 3 and I could have gone smaller and I weigh a bit more than you.

A full on heavy volane glass job on a traditional log will be very hard to lug around for her imo.....make it look like a log but go lighter and it will make her life a lot easier. Still be loads of glide for her. See if you can borrow one for a day and see how she gets on. I have found in the past that chicks and heavy boards = a no go after a while. You will end up putting it on the roof racks, taking it down walking it too the beach, bringing it back, putting on the car, putting in the garage etc

Ask Big Spazz what his chick rides - She seems to have no problem on her board from the few times I have seen her on it.

Good call CMC!

Mac, I think CMC was asking about a knee paddler for him?

Get 2 then!!!

Love your work Ted

Cms my log was 9'6 x3x23 and I'm the same weight as you. I could not knee paddle it I thinks it's more to.do.with width than lengthy as I could knee paddle boofy sdr I coul. Also stand on it like a 666 as well. I'm with others on not getting it glassed heavy as . Hated carrying the beast around,.plus it also took a few Big paddles to get it going.

If the wife keen on a Mc icantsayit lol why not try a cruiser like macs.just smaller and a bit wider for you I mean your wife. Plus Macs 10ft one would still be way lighter than a log imo

So today she's down at Byron discussing the merits of the Involvement vs the Noosa 66. Ends up getting a factory tour and is in love with these things.

Looks like sooner or later there'll be one living at my house....

Good work,they are always happy to show you around,who conducted the tour
So what was the outcome Noosa or Involvement

Not sure who done the tour. Does the description 'good looking old bloke' ring any bells?

He reckons a 9'4 or 9'6 Noosa 66 will be the go, wifey was even nice enough to tell him that her hubby is likely to ride it as well so was in the picture.... In his description the involvement has lower more pinched rails so less stable for her to get back into it.

In other news she took one of my 666's yesterday and caught her first wave paddling standing up..... I think she's having a mid life crisis. Only 32 though??
