Nice one Tardy. There's been a lot of love for the Acid . You must be ripping it.
I can't keep up with you . Can I have a guess at the body count ?
Flow 8'7 an 8'10
Creek 8'10
Flash ?
Acid 9'1
if this is true .....then I hate you

Nice looking surf mate! Must get shallow.
yes... there is a spot on the wave ,where you don't want to fall off .or else you become a rock fish .
For a full time potato farmer and part time dunny blocker you sure surf well .
ripping mate that wave looks fun and I like the crowd.

Very jealous mate it's been freezing here my ear is still blocked and ty has the flu real bad so no surfing for us yet since we got back. Hope to get out on Sunday in my 4/3 wetsuit and booties would love to be in the warm water spotting kings .. well played
What a lovely surf spot, is it local ? Looks rocky underneath though, lost a fin yet??? 
Are you just using a chest mount with the go pro?
I might try the chest mount out tomorrow. See if I get get wome footage.
hey sunnybouy...,no, I have lost more skin than fins been up on those rocks a few times .all good .
nugdam, no its a head mount .i think i needed to point it down a bit more ...too much sky .

Aimed perfectly..... lower it and you will lose the lip when you cutback.
The aim you have gives a nice overall look at the shoulder, lip and board. Perfect, IMO
I thought it was perfect position as well. I think I would loose a head mount instantly..
Hey nugdam......i used and made up this cap ,put a couple of stainless bolts through for safe measures but one would do ,and glued a float piece to the bottom of the visor .I cut from a fin cover it also stiffened up the brim ,i do have straps on the hat .works a treat .and floats if ripped off my head .with the Gopro session .
thanks for the positive feed back on my camera angles guys .

Acceptable ......I guess
Hows the rocker on the Acid nose compare to the Flow ?
well the nose rocker seems similar ,but as soon as you get half way the acid has more tail rocker where the flow is flatter
so over all the Acid has more rocker and a narrower tail .
you can really lay the acid over ,where the flow seems to ride flatter .and has a little more speed.
for a 9,1 you can really throw it around ,it is a lot rockier to paddle than my 8,10 ,but i
prefer the acid due to it extra performance .the 8,7 is a bit more radical to ride ,but its no surprise being a lot shorter narrower
and 5 less litres ,I do like the acid in bigger waves ,but seems to rip in medium waves too as show ,
I'm surprised it doesn't get more of a wrap ,its a great board .

SunnyBouy, you may have some ancestors that ended up there.
No surfing for them though...

Nice vid! Yeah you are throwing that 9'1 around like it is a toy. I love the POV from the head cam as you see how aggressively the Acid bottom turns and snaps off the top. My 8'10 Acid is a keeper and I get hassled by a major SUP brand, who I have done some marketing work for, to sell it and ride their gear.

ACID gets my vote for bottom turns and top Steve ....,after reading your thread i just had to have one ....don't listen to them stay with the acid its the best 9 I've had ,feels smaller than it is ... its 125 litres of action .
its the best 9 I've had ,feels smaller than it is ... its 125 litres of action .
you got paid .sweet.
yep i can vouch for that ,its just as good in small waves ,it feels like it has no restrictions ,
also had help decided from cantsupenough,also a acid lover .
I'm running some FCCS 7 ,may try and score some MAUIS later ,they make great windsurfing fins too.
had the 9,1 in some serious waves today ...love the way it can tuck in and go, and stick half way up the wave .

It is on my bucket list that's for sure!!!
Ha... I rode my 9'1 Acid in 1' waves this morning.
weighed myself after the session. 108 kg... on a 125 liter board.
1.15 ratio and it actually felt pretty good
I can't wait to get on some real waves on the 9'1.... and maybe lose all the weight I gained in Thailand
