Any reviews on the Kanga ? Thinking of that being my next board .

Hi supnsurf,
For the past 5 weeks, I have had major issues with uploading any videos to YouTube...
so I appologize for not getting any review out on these boards.... they are amazing!
Turns out that my 6 TB external hard drive got corrupted... all my footage of the GenRations are on it.
I am moving clips to another drive and hope to have something to post tonight.
My quick and dirty impressions of the Kanga:
This is a board that will suit a LOT of people.
Traditional design with extra width and the usual Bert Burger magic in the rails.
Super stable, yet surfs like it was designed for one of the best surfers in the world... because it was.
Ian Cairns aka "Kanga"
This board is all Ian Cairns... Aussie legend, described as "the premier "power" surfer of his era [who] dominated the North Shore during the mid to late-seventies".[1] Instrumental in founding the Pro surfing tour.
Ian is now all about SUP surfing and the Kanga was designed to be his perfect board.
He's a big boy, a bit older now, so this board is perfect match for the SUP world!!!
Video very soon... maybe tonight.
I surfed with Ian... and actually rode his personal 8'6 Kanga (Ian on his Kanga in the last pic)
Arrrrrrrgggggg... I still can't upload even a picture to the ZONE!!! >:( >:( >:(
