HAPPY CUSTOMER

I bought my first Diverse Surfboard about 3 years ago. It is a 6'2x18

1/4x2 1/4 rounded pin DS model. I was visiting family on

the Gold Coast and had a look between Surfers and Coolangatta for first

of all a good store that I felt comfortable that I could ask any silly

question and get constructive advice and a good selection of boards.


Well I found that store. I walked out fully decked out with board, bag,

fins, leggy and accessories for a good price.


I still have that board and have surfed it on the Goldy, all the way

down to South Coast NSW where I used to live. SW WA where it actually

handled Margaret River better then expected. I now currently live in

Perth and it even handles well in the ordinary beachies we predominately

get here.


I was back on the Gold Coast visiting my kids and family about 2 months

ago. I had a NW WA surf trip coming up and thought while I was here I

would see if i could find a suitable board to take there.


I was so happy with my 6'2 i thought I would see if I could get the same

shape but in a bigger board as I would’ve needed it up there.


With advice I was happy with I purchased a model DT

6'8x19x2 5/8 rounded pin. A beautiful looking board as it had been a

while since I had purchased a new board. I had a smile on my face for

weeks in anticipation of taking her for her first ride up North.


Always a bit dubious about the first wave, wandering how it will handle

I went straight on my first wave as I threw myself into a 6' wave on

this fantastic left hand break surfing on my backhand. I didn't mean to

go straight but I think it was a reaction to not knowing how the board

would handle. It handled fantastic. So smooth. I instantly gained

confidence with my new beast under my feet. And as the swell hung around

for the rest of our 8 day desert stay, I got to nurture my style in

perfect long left hand barreling waves and with a board under my feet

that gave me confidence. I am in anticipation for taking it to Margs.


If I had the money Id have one of every type of board you have. Maybe

when I get the mining job i'm after to pay for them.


Cheers for the great boards!!
