BYRNE tuflite Mullet

Hi everyone

I am new to this forum but have been a frequent vistor for some time now.

I was wondering if anyone had ridden a Byrne Mullet Tuflite and if so how did it go. I have been offered one as part of a deal with my local shop. It looks like a nice shape but just wanted to know what it went like. Thinking about getting it shaped in PU if it goes well~!

Thanks for any info!

Hi Allrounder,

I’ve fixed a couple of them and asked the guys who’ve ridden them what they go like and the really big guys say they’re ok, just a bit corky, big boxy rails and about 2 7/8" in thickness I think at about 21"+ wide. Smaller guys cant get the thing on a rail and the arse end slides out on anything over 3’.So if you’re a big fella might be OK.

Grab one and have a go, A couple of shops around here have them as demo boards.

Regards

Daren.

hey man.

a friend of mine has one, 6’6". he’s probably 6’2" and 190-195 lbs.

he loves it, but it seems like there would be a lot of overlap with your current quiver.

If I were you I would go with just a regular shortboard, squash tail, but wide and thick (something like 20"x 2"5/8).

I’m assuming you’re as big.

that would give you something different to surf, otherwise the speed dialer would probably surf very similar to the mullet, but better.

Thanks for the replys guys I thought I was going to get flamed for asking about them!! I have been cowering behind the sofa!!

Yeah I am big fella

I am 6ft 4/5 and about 215lbs not fat I should add! All my boards are pretty chunky and pretty heavy I need a decent glass job! Usaully a 6 and 4 on the top or 6 and 6. I am looking forward to getting a light board at last! I have a semi sponsorship with a shop and have been offered an extremely good deal on one so finally bit the bullet! I have been an avid disliker of tuflites since day one and have built up a good relationship with a shaper but I have decided to add one to the quiver to see what they are like. My friends have flamed me but Curiosity has finally caught up with this cat!! My Twinny is 3 inches thick so dropping to 2.5 to 2 3/4 should keep it similar with the added floating of the tuflite.

Will give it go then and if it doesnt work I will sell it on for a profit ;)! Thanks for the responses guys much appreciated. I looked everywhere for a review and this seemed to the sensible place to ask people with the most exposure to all things surfbooard!

Thanks once again!
