Had a chance to demo the Infinity New Deal this weekend and must say I was overwhelmed, they should of called it the Big Deal. Conditions on Saturday were head high and windy so struggled with the 27" width but three good waves I caught stirred my nterest. Sunday came small but clean and the New Deal came into its own. This board is awesome very fast, very smooth and so much fun, loved it. Look I am no pro usually ride a Naish Mad Dog but loved this board, it is quality super light 7 kg and built to last.
I demoed it from Rory at Next Level SUP (the Infinity importer) his number is 0437054481 and based in Perth.

I also had a demo of the 10 /27 and found it tippy, I personally think the 29 wide is the way to go at my level and at 96kg
Any demo's in Sydney?
You can have a go on mine in the am mate... should be good if a little of the south swell swings into Bower or Manly.

Grazie G-man. If the swell swings in - I'm there
Lets check in the am....pm me if theres a wave.
"Large and powerful surf conditions developing" so says the ABC news....

Hmmmmmm. I think I need to recheck the dictionary meaning of "Developing".......................Manly = Dead Flat :-(
typical reports. i'd say the incoming tide may start bring the swell in but the wind might come with it. If this occurs and u would like a demo this arvo, pls dont hesitate to call as im doing nothing at the moment due to neck surgery and could meet u with the board

Grazie Breakers. I just checked out the cameras and not enough in it to temp me out of my snugly warm home :-)
Infinity New Deal just landed in Portugal!
This one is the 10'0 x 29'' (139 L). Love all details, specially thos thin rails and tail
Have placed an order for the 9'6" x 31".
It's in a container somewhere.
Perfect for a 69 year old geezer.
My buddy ordered the 9' 104 liter sinker. He is a young bucko!!
Manly putting on a show, 20degrees and 2ft fun. 10x27 is the perfect board for such mid- week shenanigans.
Their here. My 9'6" looks awesome and my buddy is stoked on his 9' 104 liter.
Waves in Rhode Island today!
It's crazy light. 16.8 pounds with fins.
Well, the surf gods sure made this interesting. Waited all day for the wind to die in Rhode Island and went down expecting waist to chest off shore conditions to test my New Deal.
Nantucket Shoals Buoy 18 feet at 10 seconds. TD 15 surprise. Managed to get out through some funky shorebreak and rode 4 head and a half bombs with my buddy.
Not quite what I had in mind! Modified surf stance waaay back of the handle. Big fun, no harm no foul.
The next day Cape Cod was out of control so I went to Hull. DOH on CC traded for OH. Made two waves and got annihilated in the shorepound.
Day three shin to knee onshore tiny. Worked OK. Gotta get rid of the large thrusters though.
Day four evening glass off with another bud. Knee, waist, chest sets.
Perfect. New Deal is definitely the real deal. Fade, turn, Quasimodo appeared from '65, fast, loose, and crazy light.
The search for fin nirvana begins..

any pics of ur mates 9 footer?
When you get the hang of it im curious to know how these things handle decent head to head and a half waves and hollow stuff (either or both). that last photo u posted looks decent size!
I find with my sunova style longboard it is good up to head but then the rocker doesnt really work for big n succy. my speed does but its hard work if lumpy or windy (is 94l tho)
My buddy decided to get the 10' 122 liter instead of the 9' 104 liter. He rides short low liter boards and figured a little more literage might be a lot more fun.
It's clear the flatter rocker profile and that big schnozz makes it interesting in hollower and larger conditions. Especially with a little breeze on it.
Luckily I have other choices in bigger hollower waves! Much more fun than a dedicated noserider though.

Taking the 9 x 28 for a burn next week. Pictured here with the 10 x 27 to compare.
RAWZ, Wow! Seeing them side by side is amazing. Let us know how you get on with the nine footer Mate!
The new stick flat spell was not in effect with the New Deal
Gert, TD 10, North Atlantic Stormicane, Jose and more.
It works exactly as I hoped in smaller waves, and much to my surprise is decent in waves up to head and a half. I have owned three other performance longboards and the New Deal is by far and away the best.
I suspect it is because there is more rocker through the midsection, and the pulled in tail with the small stepped wing makes it fantastic when carving on larger open faces.
The nose is still larger than a traditional board, but isn't too bad in off shores up to 10-15 knots. My geezer post Cardiac Arrest rules keep me out of the water in really windy conditions.
Clearly not the best choice in windy super hollow conditions, but it works fine in larger swells.
As soon as you feel the board move take a trip towards the tail. Parallel stance at the handle a BAD idea. Modified Kung Foo Fighter Boy is the best stance.
And the Hayden 2 + 1 with the 7" center rocks. Moved it forward so the leading edge is even with the trailing edges on the sidebites. Turns a treat even with my massive 70 kegs. Sink the rail turn the board!
