Clips I think you have the wrong guy




Possibly.

Plenty of other fellows out thereare following the politically correct surfing ways which you are recommending, so I wonder why you need to try to make me into one of them... since there's no shortage of them already.




True I was just thinking,I've struggled with your way not that its wrong,so I've put you in the unique category in the nicest possible way.

Plus Roy's vids are a different surfer, on a completely different wave, on a completely different board. not everyone has the skill or youth for HP surfing, not every board is capable of that. What do you think BigSpazz will be doing on his new 12'? Trimming. Or what Mick is doing when he is linking sections in his vids when his local is small? Trimming. I don't see you telling them they have no skill and post better boards or vids.

Ignore the haters, Roy, and keep 'em coming. Lots of people appreciate your different approach to board design, and I, like others, enjoy watching you and your boards on waves.


good points there, thanks for that post

Completely off topic, but since you guys are taking clips, other than posting a link, how do you embed the clips? I'm too dumb to figure it out.

Big Spazz is 7' tall << (not sure of his height or weight but he is a big unit) and 120kg and 10' boards are his short boards.

I'm eager to see this beast in action...is it one of your big wave weapons? How will it perform in the bumpy stuff compared to the one in the vid

Hi Tux,

The board ion the video is 27" wide and fairly flat so is a handful in the chop but is has no vices as long as one does the right thing.

This one is radically asymmetrical, is only 22.25" wide and is lighter at about 21 pounds... same rocker but extrapolated to 11 feet so has a bit more room for error rocker and chop wise. The narrower width will help with control.

Big wave wise she should be fine the only limiting factor at the upper end will be the volume, which isn't huge by big wave paddle in gun standards.

The shape is still experimental with the radical incut tail, I've put the fins further forward than last time which hopefully will be an improvement ( and added a tunnel as the planing area in the tail was a little low for good balance) The extreme tail affected wave catching negatively on the ten footer but hopefully the extra foot in length will fix that. Basically they ride about 18 inches shorter than their length.

In other words we'll have to see.
