I'm not sure what these boards have done to Vanders he has gone walk about since receiving his subs,might be fine tuning at a secret location.

REALLY wish I'd brought the SubX to Bali, the rental boards here are woeful and the SubX would FLY here at lacerations

After a month off surfing, touring France & Spain, I got back heavily jet lagged & went for a surf at Palmie Sydney, glassy 2'-3' not bad at the start & yep after a couple of waves the Soueaster smashed into it & completely feked it, but to me the thing was the subx felt great, I was wonky but the board no probs.
Androo, Vanders any other subX riders, how are they going, what do you think, tried any different fin configs?

Mate I've had very little wave time due to work commitments and still haven't sought out the right waves to try it on.
I just need to commit to only taking it and just learn to ride it. It just feels sooooo skatey compared to what I've always ridden but I won't let it beat me.

It will be with me on my next Sydney trip so we should catch up?

Come with me in Dec mate I'm going anyway but want to tick off the pipe masters which would mean going earlier and waiting for the fan to arrive 22th.

Sorry broo, waves been pumping but I've been solely on the Hot Log and loving it.

Only had two surfs on the SubX so far and stoked with it, summer beachies is what I brought her for though so she'll get her fair share over the next couple. In addition though, I think I might have sold one for grant, one of my mates borrowed it a few weeks back and fell in love, and another lb dude I met on the beach also took the details after giving it a very thorough look over...

I know mate, it's about putting in the work now to set things up to give me more time to do what I want in the not too distant future.

Responsibilities of family and educating kids play a pretty significant factor too, we've decided though that as soon as the daughter finishes school in 3 years we're moving closer to the waves.

Just lookin' at Grants website, looks like he's moving back to Sydney for a while after some accomodation probs. That's gotta be a hassle moving all the gear n all.

Update on the SubX

Surfed Carlton River Mouth left on this the other week. Was well overhead and freight train lefts... The SubX went siiiiiick, the early entry helped me make the take off which on this wave you MUST nail it or you're behind it. The main thing was the speed of the board to make the sections and it just pulses along, no ridiculous pumping its just set your line and cruise. Only two of us were making it, one of the locals who shapes his own pretty sweet boards and me, and it was definitely the board and not my skills... that is for sure!!! Sadly the wave allowed little for turning, a few speed checks which it handled easily but i'd love to get it on some big carvable faces, and a right cos i'm a massive kook on the lefts...
