okay, so now i am ready to buy a new board. I have been surfing for 2 1/2 years, mainly in Wesernport and at Flinders, surfing a second hand 9'1" mal 2 or 3 times a week, I weigh around the 90 and are pretty keen. I'm looking at a Thai Fireball 9'6" SLX. What do you reckon? Any advice would be great.

Jeepers - Mac will love this thread. I am reluctant to comment as there are some MacT experts in here and I am yet to own one. Yet I say!! Here is a thread on these boards a while back that may help

Cheers Ted, I've read that forum before thanks. If the funds weren't unlimited you'd go straight to the Aus made boards! I'm more thinking of what board will get me through the next few years and enjoy as much as I can the typical conditions we get around here. I used a mates board the same for a couple of weeks earlier this Autumn and i really liked it. Are there other models that would suit better,or is the fireball it?

What'd he get Chrispy, and how much? Sorry, that's a bit personal isn't it? Still, what'd he get and how much?
