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!!
