Really liking the versatility of the R2 drop glass in the rear hatch - great for boards and dogs.  The 100% drop on the rear door glass is also a great touch.

Looking good SC!

A reasonable color match from a can was Rustoleum Universal, Canary Yellow for the earlier Naish boards.

BTW - 3x6oz for this repair would be plenty in my book.  Great to see that the Board Lady is still getting recognition for her excellent guidance in composite repairs.

Wax that nose and grab some tip time - great score Marc!

(And, if you are not into that retro Kialoa oval shafted Methane I might know an interested party.)

We might not be able to surf form dawn to dusk anymore, but we can be selective with our waves and approach, and surf forever.

I’m another 200lb, 10 x 27 NewDeal rider and can only offer that my next closest board, 10 x 28.5 StyleMaster is a significantly more stable outline for simply standing in the lineup.
Looking forward to hearing how the “pool test” turns out.

Here's wishing you some tasty waves on your 65th SC!

Looking forward to the official birthday surf video for sure!

General Discussion / Longboard SUP Revolution - Bali 2023

I agree with Zane's comment, "Lately, the style of riding enjoyed by most of the SUP population is being revived in competition and coming full circle with Longboard SUP Surfing for amateurs and elite riders as a part of the Longboard SUP Revolution."

Hey NW, here is pretty good video on pop ups from a fellow NJ longboarder, Brian James.  In this video he is actually focusing on a pop up similar to Haleys. 

I find his videos entertaining and informative.  And yes, he is as personable in person as he seems in his videos.

Great stuff SC!  You might just motivate me to do a PR trip during "tax-season".

I'm wondering if you have considered the "upgrade service" for your Soloshot.  Apparently the $499 upgrade provides "single spin calibration with no recalibration to no warmup or walkabout.  I would say the calibration of the SS is the factor that keeps mine at home.  I would like to hear your thoughts.

That's a great cautionary tale BW, thanks!  (I should be close to the end of my current passport and heading to Lofoten in a few months.)

What's the consensus on adding the passport card?  In NJ (as with some other states), access to Real Id compliant licenses is a struggle to say the least.

And Marc, that picture is suitable for framing ;D

General Discussion / Re: 10' to 7'9" SUP?
« on: January 06, 2023, 06:56:34 AM »
It's very subjective, in my case (at 195lbs 5'10") I find my 7'10" x 30.5" 110 L Phoenix (Simons shape) easily as stable as my 10' x 27" 122 L New Deal.  This is primarily because the Simons shape spreads out the volume with a wide tail, parallel rails and lower rocker (like a sheet of plywood). 

A 7'9" with a more pulled in tail, nose and more rocker would definitely be more difficult to balance initially, but at your weight and height should be totally doable.

Feinstein, Grassley, Shelby, Inhofe and Leahy, are "living" proof that Americans can perform mundane jobs well into their 80's.  Seriously, the average age of a Senator is 63.  20% are over 70.  Crap, now I can't remember what my point was...never mind.

Gear Talk / Re: Allwave centre fin box
« on: November 10, 2022, 06:26:32 AM »
And one last thought, which could be a deal breaker.  The futures fins with a solid tab will definitely work, but the skeletonized tabs might not always line up with the side grub screws.

It does look like Multibox (Duotone) comes in 1/2” depth for the center fin and 1/2 and 3/4 for the sides like Futures, in any case, the Futures fins should work either way.  You’ve got me thinking about trying different side bites on my board, smaller and more vertical.
Tell us how your board comes configured.
