wow, that board looks amazing.

I am currently waiting on my parents picking up my very first board from northswell (I love birthdays) and I am starting to get really really itchy to go somewhere.

On a sort of side note (DBBB) how much is your fuel costs in the camper to staunton? and why take the 303 instead of the M roads?

I was intending bringing the one you made for me out to Brasil, but when I was packing the board half an hour before I needed to be at the airport, I realised I'd left both sets of RedX fins in my garage :?

Must be nice to have the option to say to yourself "I might make a board for myself next week" :D

Loving those spray jobs!!!

Cheers pat, yeah it is kinda nice to have that option.. But it's also a terrible dilema, do i make the 11ft stand up paddle board, 6ft kite wave board, the performance mini magic-carpet or do i shape my last remaining clark foam blank into something really special....

Ooooo the dilema.

Whoooooeeeee, well what can I say? :D

First day out on the new pink board, and it was like it was stuck to me feet all day. Superb.

Slightly tricky conditions to paddle into (howling offshores) but the board did me proud. Took some stupidly late/steep drops with no worries at all :shock: :D

And sooo responsive - there was a fair bit of wobbling being done, but on the couple of waves where I tucked into the pocket, it just flew. I was as surprised as anyone else when I pulled off a perfect cutback then back to the lip within the first half hour :lol:

Well happy.

Okay, not really, that just happened to be the sunniest bit of my flat and I wanted to warm the board up to attach a tailpad :wink:

But isn't it sweet?

Hi All

Just out of interest Kitesurfer, how much does something like DBBB's set one back?

I came up with (what I thought was) a nifty graphic for a fish a while back, but I know If I try to shape the board, it'll look like cr@p!

Just wondering about getting one made is all!

Cheers

No worries; famous surfer Peter "PT" Townend loved surfing pink boards.
