Hi Murray,
It has been long overdue but want to say that your last board (July 2011) that you did for me has been EPIC
The slight increase in tail lift worked perfectly to l
osen it up in the pocket but it still has great drive and and down the line speed.
Here is a shot from 13th Beach Bomby a fortnight ago.
All good things come to an end and so did the board on holiday surfing Pambula River mouth (South Coast NSW) today.
First wave as well, but a great barrel.
The board was double diagonal 4x4x4 and I thought that I would show you the break as the deck broke in straight line and the glass looks like it was laid a little off axis where as the bottom glass clearly was layed at 45 degrees and has the jaggard break.
Interesting to see the difference….
Talk soon and thanks for such a great board that has given me plenty of great memories. So looking forward to getting go back on a board that has evolved over 10+ computer boards. I am a preacher for the benefits of computers and machines.
