Seems like we'd be looking at the 5'10 at 2 7/16. That's what Chris is riding. I was going to wait out for one but ended up going with the Taj as ultimately the Spartan is going to be too short for me as a hpsb and a little too thick.
Once it comes to the CBD though, it's on!!
yeah. The Michel is a beefier high performance shortboard for sure. you definitely ride it a bit shorter. Will be a preference thing....

Hi prj
I am from cornwall UK and I fancy a bit CBD action. I see you are also in kernow and have ordered a board via CBD. In the CBD pages it says that the service is only available US, OZ or Japan. I was wondering if yourself or chris could tell me how to go about getting a board shaped and shipped to england. Thanks.
I'm getting mine shipped to a US address and then picking it up from there I'm afraid. Hopefully the CBD will be launching in Europe this year though, I think it was originally planned for last year. Maybe Chris will have some more info on that.

Thanks prj. Could do with saving my pennies anyway, probably best its not available here yet.
Haha, look at it this way, the longer you leave it the more models could be available!

Well I got my hands on my CBD today, it's been a bit of a wait due to logistics but I've got to say, it was so worth it.
Firstly, the finish looks flawless. Cracking job by the folks in the factory. Outline came out even better than I thought it would. Nice bit of width through the mid section but the nose and tail are still all business. Feels like enough foam for average days and not just the pumping perfection that the Taj model is usually associated with. The slightly fuller rails than my 6'2" look like they'll compliment this nicely too.
Here's a quick couple of shots, I'll get more in depth once I've surfed it at least once!
