Erm.. those photos look like you have killer animals in them
I could never live in a country that has killer animals just waiting to kill you dead.

Colours for the board.. you guys know how bright the light is where you are.. do you think the colours might get lost in the brightness? Maybe tone them down a bit? The Nozza looks cool because the Red is so bold.. I just think the yellow/orange might just clash with the landscape.. unless that's what you are after obviously.

Two piece longboard sounds great idea, have you committed to it yet or still contemplating?

Its properly wet and windy winter here in the UK, those photos look rubbish

Diving with the Whale sharks at Exmouth is a must do. Its insane.

Yes, disturbing indeed.
I have counselled Nozza, to no avail.

The trip may be getting longer, with a side trip to Karijini National Park suggested by TalkenTony.











Looks like your perfect sport for a SUP Hire business Noz...

Just part of growing up and being Australian, the odd life threatening creature.
The 'rays aren't a worry unless you step on them, or try to ride them.
When I first saw the sharks they freaked me out, but JonathanC assures me they are timid little reef sharks with no interest in you.
May still take a bit of getting used to when we get there

The orange and yellow theme started with Iron Phil, my 17' F16 from Phil Gregory.


Continued the them on my skateboard.


And lately on my OC1


The scheme is what I was originally going to do on the Nozza board, before I went for the red.
I want the coulours to be bold and bright, like the red.

Committed to it - it gave me the reason for the board.

First link complete - the board is ordered, deposit paid.
Second link - when are we going, how are we getting there?
The Wife One has been busy....




Not sure about the description of me as "Adult", but....






We have a date for getting the car and boards (T.W.O. will use an inflatable) over to WA.
Now to work outwards from there.

Epic. You could use the front half as a short board.
Oh what an idea! I think Sunova should fly me and my family out to Thailand to finalize it!!!

Very interesting idea! Could you have a second shorter tail section to create a completely different board? How about a quiver of board pieces that you mix and match?........??

Hey Bob you stay out of this. Sunova is flying me and my family to Thailand!!
Yes there must be possibilities. I have some great ideas. I tried to make a 2 piece sup a while ago but crushed it in the vac bag. Expensive mistake. Couldn't afford to try again.
Is that guy pouring epoxy out of a saucepan!
