So are you still pissing blood at the doctors surgery
I wonder what your new years resolutuion was,let me guess.
Burn all devil boards and take no crap
oh I nearly forgot-hope your ok mate
it was touch and case. blood wouldn't stop flowing. they kicked out all the old people like mac so I could get serviced.
they ended up gluing it.
funny. I was out there thinking this is pretty solid and the tides still dropping. I should get out of here. sweeps a prick too.
then this mid size one comes through. thick, but a good shape. a few of the other lefts just shut down as I was taking off.
so I go. hand on rail, the new pgerm is a big step up in performance, bottom turn , flying and in sync
then the wave goes really ugly- throwing out, brown and closing out.
I straighten out with heaps of speed to avoid the lip bounce and jump off.
I wait under water. can't feel any legrope pressure so up I come.
doh, right the corner above my eye. the boney bit.
unlucky or lucky
Fark sounds like you were lucky, could'a been worse if it hit ya in the eye
Stoked to hear the board went well for you, I love mine. Try your S9's if you have them in futures & they'll put you anywhere you wanna be 
Hope you ok LL. There is one thing that (well more than one ) that I like about you is that you do not stuff around when you see a board you like. Straight in and purchase it! It really is a thing of beauty.

The plan shape looks like the dick board that Paul fisher rode last year as a joke. Are they kidding?

mick planted the seed over a week ago. I kept looking at the board. I asked dane who works in the shop what they are like . how the nose works etc.. he had had one
turns out I got him thinking about the board. when I went in to buy mind he had got one again too on the staffie deal. I got a sweet deal too
board is a bit over vol being epoxy but would rather that than be under vol.
suggested to me Jordy fins but you may be right. I give it a few more surfs yet . will keep the s9s in mind
cheers

Just how many dick boards are out there
Yep over volumed sure beats under volumed, or under width'ed in my case lol...luckily I have a 30 day cooling off period on my purchase, swapping for something wider...

Give it a crack for a few weeks first Mick - you might surprise yourself !
Nah I didn't want to dedicate myself to getting something to work which needed conditions which overlapped what I would prefer to surf something other than a 666.
I tested it in near perfect conditions. Waist to chest, blowy, but from the best direction. I struggled to get a wave, the waves were passing me by coz I didn't get enough speed to get into them. They had to be steep & about to break for me to get on them. Then the board felt like an overvolumed short board on the face until I hit a flat section I would normally breeze through on my long board.
I took the board back & swapped it for a 8'10 x 32 & took it for a run yesterday arvo. Waves were up to waist high & the first thigh high wave I went for I caught easy as...had a fun time in small waves, which is the niche I was looking to fill & the board is still really maneuverable. I was cutting back & doing floaters on it really easily

If they attack you first surf surely it can't be a keeper
yes sp, you were right
hated this board. could not get a rail in .probably over volumed. everything had a delayed reaction which really sucks.
it was really do my head in.
anyway traded for this. with in 3 waves I knew I had made the right decision. thank goodness even tho it cost me. lucky I sold that skinny 12'6 today
just the ticket . more drive and tighter than the puffer- perfect foil against the puffer.
every wave when I stood up my foot was perfectly jammed against the tail pad kicker
a keeper for at least a year
not getting a epoxy board again. for me they just don't sit right. to get volume right I would have to be surfing really short
anyway- ted,mac, pup etc lets get this out of the road.
let my penance begin
So we are now building an MR quiver?
If I can keep up the Germ is out the door? Or has the puffer gone? I think you should keep a running commentary of your "keepers" as I struggle to keep up! I have thought that a few of your boards in recent times have been massively over volumed for your size, skill and fitness level - it was almost like the freckled faced 15 yr from who has never surfed anything but a body board at the local shop was selling you boards
Good luck with the new stick.

ha, never said the p germ was a keeper. ted I have a fear of under volumed boards having had my share.
I take full responsibility for the board.
you've got to remember ive spent 7 years on bloody big boards so feeling my way down. im also 8 kgs lighter than back then
and a lot has changed with board in that time too.
and the volume im suppose to be riding means I would be on 5'6 5'8 s which im not going to do.
hell im on to 6' boards which is 2 inches shorter than ive every surfed.
trends change but it looks like shorter is here to stay
ok one serving of penance out of the way
I hear ya loud and clear. Its been an interesting last 5 yrs or so in the shortie world with wider, thicker, shorter, less rocker boards taking over - plus a few techno changes. Its weird going short. But you get used to it. I still prefer longer boards when its bigger. Maybe thats a comfort thing - I would hate to get it wrong when its critical. But on the whole I find the shorter boards much more fun. The speed you can generate these days with the bottom shapes more than compensates for the length I reckon. But then having said that I do not think my surfing is at the ability level that I can really feel too much diff between a 6 and a 6'2" but a 6 and 6'4" seems fairly noticeable to me - even just looking down at how much nose is in front of you whilst paddling! Ever since I read a piece by Nick Carroll about keeping your weight on the front foot on late drops - like you do on a snowboard - I have had no issues with the shorter fatter boards. If I was a light specimen I would be happy to sacrifice some width for length though.
