...after 'surfoplanes' , this was where it all began , for me.
It was fun to see Rowan reliving his childhood today !
this one is for all you people who like er 'flexy ' fins ....

So...
has anyone else got shots of them surfing [original] foamies , or 'modern-day' ones ?? [perhaps your kids are now learning on them]
cheers !

he snapped his 5'4 one , doing a floater a few days ago.
he happened to mention that to a friend , who'd had a 'foamie' sitting in his garage , unused.
.... voila !
a 5'9 , fabric covered , with flexible fin . His new toy of choice , in tiny crudular conditions .
I'll try to measure the other dimensions , at some stage [if anyone is interested ? ha !] I'd love to put a fin box in it .... and , a fibreglass fin !
I only got one macro wave , and kneeboarded it [.... WHAT the ....?! ]
.... getting the " serious foamie head " on ;)
....While of course Rowan , meanwhile , was like a kid in a candy store .... FROTHING , like 'Tommygun' !
...So, some pretty fun times , today [ thank goodness] .
I had almost forgotten , your mates [aussie for 'friends' ] can get ya laughing , sometimes ...
[ which is certainly great medicine , in my books !]
cheers !

Ben I have an 8’ softboard (like a morey boogie) I bought from Costco a while ago. They have the same slick bottom and outer skin Boogies have but they also have 3 fins and a leash plug. Years ago I hade the original Morey doyle softboard.
....good on ya , Harry ... cheers , mate !
Ross ['P-Co', here] shaped and glassed THIS , a while back .....
At the moment , my back is absolutely rooted .
But I hope , if / when it comes good within the next week or so , to give this foamie mini-tanker a go ...
.....either prone or [? hopefully?] standing .
It's a bit tooooo bigggg / thick to kneeboard , methinks ?!
cheers !
