Consafos, that board looks insane, i’ve been wanting to order one of those for a long time, and i think on the next shipping i’ll arrange from US to Europe i’ll include one of those.
What are the numbers? (width, thickness, etc), what’s your heigh and weight (ok, you can send me the last info by PM)?
I always thought on ordering something short since the board looks so wide, specially the tail, so i was thinking about 6’0’’ or so for my 5’11’’ & 190 lbs. But on the other hand i think Cheyne said he doesn’t really liked those boards on softer waves, and oneula is also talking about using it on hollower waves, so maybe it would be better to have some lenth to hold some power???
I would love an especific thread on this kind of boards having Richy, Cheyne, Solo and others posting their opinions on the size and best conditions…
Congrats for the board Consafos, i’ll be waiting for your review.
Sorry guys, it was late last night when I first posted so not only is the post sketchy, I immediately went to sleep! Dims are 6’4", 12x20x16 and it’s 3" thick. The thickness was the only thing worrying me after I said yes on it but it actually seems perfect- the foil is awesome. I do/will have more pics but I’m not digital so they may take a bit- I’ll try and get a friend with a digi camera to shoot some.
Oh yeah- Solosurfer said he may have some starfins soon- I’d say you guys should get on that for sure- it’s a very fun item.
When I look at the rocker profile of the board in the thread above it reminds me of a single fin longboard rocker only very compressed. Does the tail of the board have that much flip in it?
You are exactly right and I’m an ass- Rick CARROLL not Grigg. Thank god he’s on the East Coast and can’t bitch slap me. The guy is a hell of a shaper and it’s a really nice looking board. As I said the waves weren’t helping yesterday, but I could feel the thing starting to work- it surfed as fast as a fish in the mush and on the one almost decent wave I got I realized even then it was money well spent- it got around a crumbly whitewater section easily, found the face and wanted to go- I’m amazed how awesomely the fat tail/starfin combo makes the board turn though- I’m going to have some fun on this one! That blue board with the flag is really nice- I’d like one with 4 stars though (NZ flag as opposed to Oz), maybe next time…
it’s too new and pretty to have you putting plugs and boxes in both ends! You’re right though, looking at that photo I might have been better off riding it backwards yesterday. Janklow needs to build that thing of his and report back to us.

Ha Ha…I thought about getting one made with my heritage of cross bars and stars…but then I would have to take up watching NASCAR and add the number 3 to it. Don’t think I could do that.
