They only landed on Monday - Most customers had them arrive today or they'll get there tomorrow.

It's like an exaggerated version of the 2010 model. Deeper channels, more rocker (HEAPS of rocker) stiffer and with WAY better straps. It's awesome, I can't wait to get back out on our demo.

For the QLD'ers who want to ride one - we have a 144cm for demo, you're welcome to put boots on it if you like.

My new 140 arrived tonight, and I'll I can say is DAMN!!!! Looks sooooo good, as Rhys said, plenty of rocker, lovley channels so it will track well when finless, and they have got the stiffness just right (well for a fat bastard like me), will let you know how it rides as soon as I know :)

I hope they didn't give it to much rocker, nobile killed there NHP when they added huge rocker last year. Wasn't a total loss though, learners find it a easy board to ride due to the drag.

Blake get those boots bolted up, cant wait to see that thing flying off the flat water

I'm pretty sure they didnt increase the rocker just deepend the channels.

I have just recieved my new Custom board but it doesnt have a handle or handle screw inserts.
Can a handle be added?
Is there a proper way of doing this or is it simply a matter of using some stainless self tapping screws?
Do these screws come with a bought handle?

Thanks

I am pretty sure they dont come with a handle and they cant have one fitted. They are suited to guys/girls riding Wakestyle and using boots.

They don't come with a handle and there is no simple way to put one on either. I've been using a custom as my main board this year and don't miss the handle at all.
I still think it sucks they they don't give people the option. Its amazing how much influence the too cool for school crew can have!! LOL's

Just use a footstrap to body drag with the board and carry it under your arm like a surfboard it really is not a big deal to ride a board without a handle and you will potentially ruin your board if you use self tapper screws to put a handle on it.
