Tough luck there!

I'll go check out the local store Tomorrow or Monday to see if they have them in stock yet. I'd love to get some better handle on them by touching seeing and feeling. I'm really looking forward to your ride report too.

I'm not sure what your local forecast is but in Syd I think we have a 6-8 foot NE swell forecast for Monday (2-4x overhead). It might not be a Unibrow testing day. Tiny little ones at Bondi this morning testing the bottom end of the Dom. It loves small waves breaking into a rip.

I'll be glued to the computer waiting for the ride report. Are they in stores in Oz yet?

I have been told by one surf shop here in oz that the Unibrow is not available in stores until late March.Anyone heard a different story? Would love to check this board in the shop.

There is a 5'10" sitting patiently on the racks in Surfculture at Bondi

i think i'd ride one same volume as a hp give or take

I think I will agree with you there. If I want a HP for 'smaller' waves, then keep the HP volume with maybe a fraction more, and let the shape, width and rocker do their job.

What did you think sarge ? Give us the run down !! You must have molested that thing in front of Froggy or Pat !!

how much do u weigh sarge? i'm 165-170 now was thinking 5'9 if i go that route

They look pretty good. Plenty of foam in the front half to help with catching the small stuff. The concave up front is really noticeable too, should help get some early lift going. The tail is a lot wider than it appears in the pictures but still more refined in the rail. Not as wide through the nose as the cc, and with more nose lift. But less tail rocker. The double concave through the tail looks like it carries all the way back, so im thinking its going to like gouging a solid rail carve. I would be thinking of a 5'11 for me at 194pnds / 87kg

I felt up a 6'2" Unibrow at Aloha in Manly today. It felt like it packed a lot more foam in it than the 35.something litres it contains. The under arm test suggested its all I need when I assumed I'd be choosing between a 6'4" and 6'6". I want to feel up some other sizes though. The rails and tail are definitely more refined than a Dom but less refined than I expected. The tail does look wider than the pictures.

I'm looking forward to some ride reports and more input from Chris.
