A bit late as I've actually had the board about 3 weeks now, but I've had myself a 9'1"x 23"x3" Noserider made for me by Will Eastham at Surfboards UK in town. I've managed to get in and use it about 6 times now, and i'm absolutely chuffed with it.
Had a good chat with Will to discuss what I wanted out of the board before he made it, checked what I had been riding up to then, and he was happy to give me plenty of advice on what I should be going for before he made the board.
He did an excellent job on the board, and I was up and riding it on the first wave I paddled in for, even though the conditions were far from perfect and pretty chunky down at Lusty Glaze. And then caught just about every wave I tried for afterwards
The board did exactly what Will said it would, and felt really natural and stable to ride.
I have never used the 'S' word before, but I have to say, I was totally Stoked!
Haven't had a chance to get out there when the conditions have been that clean, but even so, the boards worked well every time I've been out. Can't wait till I can get out there on some clean, 2-3ft surf, when I'm sure it'll work really well
I'd thouroughly recommend Will if anyones looking for a custom made board, he did a fantastic job, (at a really good price too.) He's also done a great job of repairing my old board, which I had managed to drop coming up the steps at Towan leading to the harbour car park.
Just thought I'd share that people.
Slo-mo
I got a new Board!
), as it looks like you had nothing but great experience, and I need somebody to repair couple of my boards (one fin fell off and couple of dings need patching).
