Who, where, when for this weekend, I want to show you all my new tan!

Middleton could be a goer tomorrow, NW 25-30knots?

Any takers?

Kiters welcome, SUPS welcome, windsurfers maybe

Cool

I am looking forward to taking it out at the wall and seeing how fast it goes... and doing other stuff like plane gybes, which on my current board is fussy with the conditions.

I have reached the end of my journey with my current board. There really isn't anything more I can learn. As somebody said, big boards hold you back once you reach a certain experience level.

See you on the water some time :)

Not sure about Middleton tomorrow. The swell looks very small.

Would be great if you can post some photo's when you pick the new toy up. A few of us keenly keeping an eye on how these boards pan out Post them in the speed section if you can.
Plus a comment or two in the in the Gear reviews alongside Mr Loves data. .

Pete Ross has a good thing going in his little shaping room in Maui, dropped in a few times while we were there, new boards looking the goods as well as performing in both Slalom and in the waves.
met one of his sponsored riders, think his name was Russ, Maui local, saw one of his promo videos, OMG! Great stuff.
Pete, put some pics up of your new stuff!

Hi Dave
Hope the tan haven't washed off in the shower too quick!! It was great to catch up with you and Kim and help you out a little, with a bike for your daughter.
Russ is just one of the team riders we have at the moment ,that are helping us push our australian designs into the USA and Europe from Maui.He sailed over 250 days last year on our boards so is a great indicator on our durablity of our construction and boards onwater performance, check out his promo video on the website.So with Maris and Zac back here in South Australia we are getting year round development.



Here the new XR 115 freeride we have built for JA, it got a full carbon lamination to give it a lighter and stronger lay up then any other freeride than coming out of asia.
All our new 2010 boards are up on our new website so it would be best to check them out there .

Wow :). It looks awesome Pete :). I'm going to ring Maris tomorrow and tee up a day and time. I'm still getting over a bad cold . I was sick as I dog driving down from Woomera on Saturday and then flat on my back Sunday and Monday... otherwise I would be onto it :)

I PM'ed Mineral regarding a brief review, so just to relay that, I'll definately be taking some pics of it in action :)
