My new surf boards :)

Postby BaNZ » Wed Aug 08, 2018 6:05 pm

8'6 7'6 and 6'3. The 6'3 is not new. Just been gathering dust. My arms are going to be sore from waxing the boards!

your pup has an expression that says 'these boards mean you will be spending less time with me, you are disappointing me'.

i like the shape of the 7'6, I reckon a lot of people should surf that shape in the 6'10 - 7'8ish size.

Nice boards. I think I would enjoy surfing them all except maybe the 6'3" although you never know I have a 6'2" board but it's really too small for me made for my wife who is less than half my weight and that one looks a bit wider. I can surf it but haven't tried lately.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

I'm concerned whether I'll like it or not. Because the NSP boards I rented are last year model and they are slightly different. This year NSP nose is more pointed. The photo was taken at an angle so you can't see the nose. I suspect they will ride very differently compared to last year model. Although it is the same model as last year, I feel that these boards are heavier and more solid. Whereas the older ones I can make pressure ding fairly easily.

My puppies are always happy to see me. They are never disappointed! I can't wait till after Labor day when I can take them to the beach with me.

The 6'3 dimension
6’3” x 20 1/2” x 2 1/2” 36L
I bring it out whenever it is over 3feet. I can't even get to the lineup as I struggle to paddle or duck dive. I only managed to ride white wash with it. I normally get in the water for 30 mins and then go back to change to a longboard.
