The ride report will be interesting.
A sweet potato would not be my board of choice at either flat rock or Lennox.
I guess if it's going to be your "one board quiver" board you may as well test it's limits straight up. :-)

Hey All, use my Firewire email, chris.cary@firewiresurfboards[email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!

Quick report, north coast trip got pulled due average weather,so no real data, but got to surf the 5'8 fst in 3-4 point waves at home, size is perfect, paddles awesome, good volume for my size, early entry and the controllers once the sweet spot is found are very direct, lots of hold, only prob now is i have dinged the rail (stupid rocks), cuttle i remember a post where you mentioned you had a go to guy on the coast for repairs, that was experienced with epoxy repairs? i have damage on the rail in two places one which is minor which i could repair my self but the other is a little worse, hasn't damaged the balsa but enough damage to not attempt the repair myself,,,, just found the post would you recommend brian from inside edge or the beachbeat guys? for this repair.
cheers
If you're in a hurry Beachbeat. For eg drop in Mon - collect Fri. You could go direct to see Bart at Factory at Kuluin (off Fishermans rd) too.
Brian if you're not in so much of a hurry.
He may be a bit cheaper but there's always quite a few boards jammed into the repair racks...which I'm always concerned about with handling damage.
what s your tip? just never used any guys up here, just after someone that can do a cracking repair on this fst rail right asap, is the beach beat factory contactable direct? or do i have to go through the shop? Did you end up seeing the repair on the demo board?
Beachbeat factory. Just drop the board off yourself no worries.
Ph 5479 2811
20 Fishermans rd.
They do plenty of Firewire repairs as they are the crew that sell the most by far.
The little crack I put in the rail of the demo board (now mine) was fixed with epoxy solar cure and it's good as new.
thanks mate,
No worries.
Did you tap into that crazy speed that they are capable of?
I assume you rode it at Moffs?
