Love it, love it mate. I think I’ve got the wrong channel at the moment popping up, but I’ll send you another message on my one when I get a chance……… I’ll have one of your gliders of you😂 no kidding
Cheers Liam i think the weight of the board helped alot, hence why it doesn't turn much 😆 hope you got some good ones. Im always keen for a surf! see you down there soon!
Hi Jack. I actually use an 8.5" greenough 4c which is very similar to the skip frye. Sometimes I use an 8" christenson fin. I felt the same as you though I tried a 7.5" and it wasn't enough unless it was super small. When it's bigger sometimes I will even put a 9" in it. I am pretty heavy at 95kg and find I need the extra fin otherwise I feel it slipping through turns.
How do you find the glider ? I'm temped , based on how much easier they are to get into waves ? But everyone says they are for points? I surf putsborough mostly when I can. What do you think. Cheers Josh. Josh
@joshsaintlaurent1712 Hi Josh I have surfed my 10'6 in alot of different breaks over the last 5 years and i have had the longest and best rides on mellower beach breaks such as Westward Ho! and Watergate bay. The 2 main standouts are yes the paddle power and how early you can get into waves but also the speed and sections that can be made from riding a longer board. It generates its own speed just from keeping a high line. You would not be disappointed, best thing at puts aswell is you can head further down and find a quieter spot usually. If your interested in getting one shaped could have a more detailed chat down the workshop. Thanks Josh
@@electrofishsurfboards have you thought about a certain point? Not so far from you? I recently did it on a 10 foot longboard one of the best surfs of my life for nailing it from behind the peak pigging through the first barrel getting set up on the slow section and I couldn’t resist and always winding up on the boulders on the inside unfortunately I popped a rib in the process and I’m recovering still at the moment
@@electrofishsurfboards glider would be awesome there on a decent Sutherly or Southeast wind with the giant swell the things you could do there the only risk would be the younger generation on their short boards dropping in but providing you haven’t got any knees that need ligaments and Cartlidge, you should be alright😂

You've made this look a lot easier than the conditions we're.
Top work Josh! Let's surf again soon

What fin do you use on your glider Josh? I’ve got a 7.5 Skip Frye in mine. Super fast but can feel sketchy in steeper surf unless on rail.
