the versatile sunrise...performs great in quad format...really springs out of the bottom turn when set up as quad...and is still suprisingly stable on the nose





ghost grey resin wash...4+4+6...wet rub finish



9'1"x21 3/4"x2 5/8"







the sunrise is proving to be a great all rounder it nose rides excellent and turns sharp in both fin setups..it will perform well in point or beach break conditions and handle a bit of size as well






powder green tint with deep purple inlay






6+6+4....9'1"x21 3/4"x2 5/8"....high gloss finish






7" dolphin with GXL side bites...turns are more direct...very smooth performer in this mode




the "SUNRISE" this model will hang around...and bring a grin to your dial...to date this would be in the top 5 longboards I have ridden

I recognise that headland....some nice looking sticks as per usual from the great man. It surely must be time for someone else to buy a board off him from the Greenroom so we can have another of his mighty build threads - I loved the last one...learnt a lot and felt inspired. Bring it on RG!

the stick in the sand i love that thing

great pics pup

Its a pop out Mctavish Fireball Evolution SLX Epoxy, 9'1", 22-7/8", 2-7/8".

Its always been fun in the beach breaks on smaller days but i seem to struggle on larger days or when taking it out to the outer reefs.

I'm 109kg, 6'2".

The reason i started to think it was maybe a little small is that I borrowed a larger board (Robert August, What I Ride, 9'6" @ 3") and had a blast.

I would describe my experience level as "struggling to be intermediate".

yep I agree with TB that board you have does not have enough volume....I would suggest something bigger for sure. It will make life a thousand times easier and more enjoyable. Welcome to the Greenroom!!!!!

... and call your Ozzie shaper for a good chat to see what wicked lerve they can provide you - they know whats good for you given the information

love the shape of that board , never thought I would replace the Nimbus but man that is tempting

yardape my board is 2 5/8 , I weigh 70 kg and its perfect for me

Thanks for the replies.

This looks like a good excuse to ad to the quiver!

Don't forget bottom curve.
Flatter paddles and picks up waves much easier, but more curve is nicer to ride with much more sensitivity and responsiveness.

I recently went flatter with 24+ inches, and it is a whole new world of wave catching a paddling. Cant turn, but neither can I
