Fast & Finfree fish?

Dave has been losing sleep lately over some of the finfree ideas he has had over the years. Riding the Alaia recently was sure to do something to his creative side... Riding them has retaught us all kinds of things about flow and slide etc.
Here is a fun looking board waiting for the next fresh session.

My Sprint in Lombok

From: "Woodberry, Jake"
Hey Dave
How's things? Loving surfing the sprint, they seem to turn with plenty of
speed regardless of wave quality.
Here's my 6'4" on an average wave off south Lombok.
Cheers jake

Feedback on the Monster Mullet

Dave,
just some feedback on my monster mullet I purchased several months
ago. Went to Bali in March/April for the first time in 23 years & it
went unreal at Ulu in the varying conditions (2ft to 5ft) - surfed
virtually every day for 2-3 hours at Ulu & felt like I was in my teens
again not a 49 year old !
Regards,
Chris Locke

New Demos test

Isaac Paddon and Adam Greer tested a range of boards last sunday and travelled with ease to their secret testing grounds with some inovative trailer towing equipment. The boards tested were 6' 6 Alaia crafted by Feral Dave, A 9'1 High performance Diverse longboard designed for smaller conditions , 7'0 and 6'4 SG models with 2x 1 fin set ups .The SG's and 9'1 proved to be the ideal boards for maximum surfing pleasure without the effort of paddling a coventional short board.

I found my Green 10' noserider pictured above also held perfect lines wilst in the barrell . proving to me that it wasnt just a small wave tip rider. (water shots by Dan Howard/ oceanart photography) - ISO

Diverse Teamrider Mark Richardson the standout at the Printpoint Masters

Winners decided at the Printpoint Queensland Masters Surfing Circuit at Coolum's Sunshine Coast

The race tightens for State Titles after second leg of the Printpoint Queensland Masters Surfing Circuit.

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 28 June, 2009 : - - Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia - Queensland’s finest masters surfers aged from over 28 to over 55 showcased their talent today on the Sunshine Coast during the second instalment of the Printpoint Queensland Masters Surfing Circuit. Strong westerly winds which were predicted did not eventuate and competitors revelled in the clean ½ metre conditions throughout the entire day.

Mark Richardson (Currumbin) was the stand out surfer of the day and took out victory against a strong field in the final of the blue ribbon over 28 men’s division.

Richardson posted a combined final score total of 16.07 (out of a possible 20) after a day of surfing methodically through his qualifying heats. Other finalists were Simon Massey (13.93), Dean Hall (9.50) and Mark Kennedy (7.30) who finished second to fourth respectively. Richardson dominated the majority of the final however Simon Massey emerged as a late threat in the closing stages by posting a thrilling score on a quality clean set wave. Richardson was ecstatic with the victory saying “ It’s great to snatch a win against a field as strong as this and I’m looking forward to taking it to the other competitors when we meet for the third event at North Stradbroke Island”.

In the over 35’s division it was Dean Hall who took out victory with a flawless display of surfing blending 'old school' power with an arsenal of 'new school' manoeuvres. Hall battled with Mark Richardson throughout the final and eventually sealed victory posting an excellent score in the dying moments. Hall, who was unable to attend the first Printpoint Masters earlier this year was overjoyed with his victory and commented “ This win gives me valuable points to take to North Stradbroke Island and hopefully I can perform well there and secure a place in the Queensland team”.

The older salts of the competition didn’t leave all the action up to the ‘young guns’ in the 28s and 35s. Peter Buckley (Palm Beach) was victorious in the over 55’s impressing the judges with his radical display of surfing in a ding-dong battle with Andrew McKinnon (Currumbin).

It was Mark Richardson who took out the coverted “Tooheys wave of the weekend” with the highest score of the event (9.33) and walked away with 4 carton of ice cold Tooheys Extra Dry.

The exclusive Printpoint Masters Queensland Surfing Circuit three-event series continues to set the benchmark for surfers aspiring to a national master’s title. Divisions include senior men (O 28), O/35, O/40, O/45, O/50, and O55.
