Had a blast this morning riding my 8' modern blackhawk at Alex corner.
Got in an early few on my McNeill CV2 before the longboard club fired up their contest at the Bluff.
Felt a bit strange walking down to surf 4'ers at the corner with it but I figured I might as well wash the dust off it.
Just sat out from the pack on the point and waited for bigger ones.
The board is an absolute pleasure to surf.
It has the early glide in but with its pointier nose with just enough rocker it takes drops like they are nothing.
Turns so well for a big board and its so much fun having a nice long rail in a board that goes fast as well.
Completely different to surf than a longboard planshape and its not stiff like a gun even though it looks like one.
I reckon every longboarder who chooses to ride a longboard based on thinking they are past shortboards would love one of these if they tried one.
Too bad they stopped making them.
Sharing is caring..
Caring bunch on the GC...

The banks are good to go SP,like there was no big swell remarkable really.
Now you've got to feel for the organisers,they put the comp back by a week because last year it was dead flat and a swell arrived a week later,if they had of kept with the original dates the first week of the comp would of had the whole week of pumping conditions and the comp would have been finished in 7 days. Cant win I hope they get some swell for the comp, I'll be in Bali
just back from some pretty good waves head high plus and getting bigger. Got plenty and had a good time and not crowded either.
