    Let us know how you get on with it!
    You getting the 5'10 Mini Driver
    It will probably be flat for a month after when you pick it up
    The new board curse
    Hopefully not though
    because I'd be looking forward to reading a review

    Yeah 510.
    Shouldn't be flat, September/October are pretty much the prime months here, and if the waves such I'm buggering off to France for a few weeks with the MD, CBD and SP :D

    A bit too much foam on summer... on winter things change though...
    I actually got that board for when things get a bit better and that is usually between fall and spring (we are talking about 6/5/4 suits,7mm boots and 5mm gloves in the dead of winter)

    First surf report...uunnnnbeeeeeerrrrrrbllllieeeevable!

    Thanks again guys, I really annoyed the fellas in the shop trying to decide between the two sizes but went with consensus.

    After my first surf in small howling offshore slutsborough waves yesterday (on my wedding anniversary too, that was a real pressy from the wife!) I am sooooooooooooo stoked.....board felt amazing, paddled soooooooo easy and was quick a f**k. I made two lush turns (felt like a tail hack probably looked like a waft)....it is obviously a lot looser even in quad set up than my fishes so I need to learn to surf it, which is exactly what I wanted......sooooooooo excited for September swells.

    Iggy, I was thinking bigger for the winter swells but even in that thickness suit I reckon for me I wanted to push the fitness to cope....kind of again what I wanted.....
