Hi Maz -
We've had quite a bit of these coming through our Oceanside factory, in the last few months - with most (like these) heading up to Nor Cal.
I posted this photo on the Step Ups and Guns thread, but not sure if you saw it - the two on the left are our 'Crazy Train' model, but all the others are Padillacs.
To give it some size scale, the one on the far left is a 9'6 and the one on the far right is 7'6. I wanted to get a pic of these, all together, before they got boxed and shipped, and I'm glad I did.

They feel amazing under your arm and my heart literally starts beating faster when I'm around them........as I said in the other thread - definitely out of my league.
From our website, and Jon's mouth:
The Padillac is a smaller version of our Crazy Train model gun.
Like the name implies, this board is a paddle machine with extra thickness and a fuller outline than our standard guns so you can ride bigger waves with confidence and ease.
It has a clean, flowing rocker and light vee with double concaves to add speed and quick turning.
We recommend you go with the Quad option, and take this board out in most anything the ocean throws at you.
Made in sizes between 6’10” and 8’6”. (Side note by me - we've done a few 9'0's this year too, in O'side factory).
A great board for deep water waves like Sunset, Cloudbreak, or Ocean Beach, it is also a good choice for bigger surfers for lots of different waves around the world.
Hope that helps and feel free to PM me with any other questions/concerns.
