Same, tone. I have a longer board on order, only 6'9" so probably a fair bit shorter than that one, but will look like a Waimea board compared to everyone else's 5'10's. Looks so good, they just have a lovely, different feel to them.
Just beautiful conditions out there, you'd stay out until your arms fell off, wouldn't you!

I note there hasn't been much (or any, really) footage of the GC from this swell. Not surprised as it just didn't deliver in the same way as it did selected sunny coast spots and everywhere south o' the border. I checked daily and it just didn't jazz me.
And what has been left in its wake is some pretty uninspiring sand formations, to be honest. I'm seeing swell that would have been massaged into some shapely rides pre the Black Nor-Easter, but instead are not much more than a drop..then a shoulder...then a fat section...then a closeout.

yea the whole stretch from noosa down to caloundra was like this for the whole week ... epic.
And a spot a couple hours north of this was even bigger and better.
A swell to tell the grandkids about.

As long as they aren't mals you're ok with me Toneranger. :-)
Starting at 7'3''! If you live down vicco way you may have much more use for them. Sydney, not so much. My quiver range is 5'11' to a 6'10'', but the 6'10' is for special occasions and trips where I'm in the mood for it, but I never fail to be impressed with how it goes and feels underfoot. It doesn't feel like a lumbering giant at all, just more like riding a Cadillac rather than a Ferrari.
It even goes well in 1' surf, which I have done a few times just for the hell of it.
