A mate of mine has one, it seems pretty hard wearing and floats very well. His surfing has improved loads since he's been learning on it.

NSP do some good boards and alot of the surf shops will buy them back at a good rate when you upgrade.

Hi, That would be really good OP. We have just booked the first trip of the year to come down at the end of may so i may give u a shout if u are around. Prob wont be in the van this time though, its a bit far for a weekend as it takes us 12 hours in the van or 5 in a car.

No worries mate, 12 hours in the bus, what you doing pushing it? I used to make the trip from Nottingham to Newquay in just over 7 hours in the bus.

I think it would be quicker if we did push it, the engine needs a big rebuild now. We do about 50 max and take regular stops. we normaly end up having a kip half way as well.
