Sorry Goodfish, no not after I waited so long to get mine! I only have a hellfire in Taiwan and it's only been surfed once...the plan is to spend a couple of years living in TW but that is not for...

I was forced to watch Elvis movies as a youngster by my mother! Still though The King was pretty good before he got swept up in all the hype and started believing it himself.

What did I say?

The Nexus H3 quads I didn't really like in this board, I found them a bit stiff, so I went to R2s next, then R2 thruster, then TC redlines front and little 3" 50/50 foiled side bites as rear quads,...

Ahh I sort of double posted! See above anyway, yes I loved it but unfortunately I broke it (I'll replace probably next summer). Yes it is a very versatile board, it almost grovels, so it was a great...

The JK is, to borrow one of Chris' terms a "city sneaky" LOL. Whatever that means! Anyway, you can throw this thing around and because of the refined rails it feels a lot like a short board but with...

I would listen carefully to this, as Buzzy is a man who likes a bit of volume.

Marklids, I looked back through this thread and I can't see your weight mentioned (though I might have missed it). We...

My last Indo trip I took a spitfire and over the course of 10 days it only got wet twice. Even the small waves around there have juice and shape. I took 3 boards last trip, the spit as small wave...

They go pretty good too!

Can I also add, as litre is a unit of volume the "cubic" is redundant. For the petrol heads there used to be a trend to talk of engine capacity in CCs (Cubic Centimetres)...

I'm around 90kg and 6'0 tall. I have a 5'8 and it feels fine. Paddles OK and gets going quickly. Only had 2 surfs so far but the volume seems fine for me.

Had my 3rd surf yesterday. Didn't get one wave! It was pretty horrid conditions. My beach gets a bit dangerous when the rips are running like crazy, it was only around 5' maybe the odd bigger one but...

Norberg, I surfed mine in absolute crap onshore white wash yesterday...I was testing a quad fin set up and even though I only got about 2 waves it kind of went OK. My first surf I had the same...

Thanks Chris, yeah Core I broke the 24 hour rule and surfed the thing a couple of hours after I put the pad on! I would have surfed it straight away except the waves just weren't right so I waited a...

With tassles?

Tried mine today, interesting surf pulled about the biggest floater I've ever done, that was the highlight. I was having some flow issues (to be expected); the type where you go to hit the lip an get...

Well, it's pretty sexy and probably better than a naked lady LOL and I just got the phone call I've been waiting months for. Yes mine has arrived!

For the boards where it works (my Spit and HF) I just leave it like that all the time. Though I actually suspect the one in my HF is so small it makes no difference, it is only about 20mm high.

If you can find an MR TX rear fin they are perfect thickness. I never tried foiling down the width of something like a GYU or M3 - just seemed like too much work better to start with something like...

I use Dakine where I can - good quality adhesive 3M. There are a heap of good quality tail pads out there, that all use 3M adhesive; Creatures, Gorilla, O&E, CI, OAM.

I'm not that sure about the...

Core, yeah it looks really good.

I know you get your wife's name on the board is that her eye too? That would make me feel like someone was always looking over my shoulder!

@hawaii_boi, g'day! I used a small hacksaw to get as close to the shape as possible and then used a gyprocker's sanding block to foil it and refine the shape. (what you call drywall in the US, we...

a few of us made knubster fins of our own, I tried a few different shapes. It's all here:...

I have a spit and HF in my quiver and they surf very similarly just the wave range in which they excel separates them. In steeper better waves the HF takes over from the spit. I haven't surfed my...

I really like the diamond tails, they seem very responsive to me. Both my Spit and my HF turn very well. I have not had a surf on my 6'7 HZ yet, I bought it for bigger waves to get in early. So I may...
