Some good finds there Mick. I really enjoyed the Gerry section....what a shame they did not show us footage of the boards in some decent waves. That would have made my day. I like the way those rail outlines look. Never seen one of his in real life like that shape but Tux assures me I can find one in Torquay so next time I am down that way I will hunt one out for a look.

^ Yeah was thinking the same when I watched it...would be awesome to see someone take one out somewhere like Teahupoo or Pipe...looking forward to seeing what else they cover. I'm guessing maybe sandwich construction techniques, maybe a Bert board. Maybe something on shorter wider...on a side note, its amusing seeing all the average surfers on under volumed boards these days. Its gone from one extreme to the other a little. From skinny/long to short & fat, or mainly just too short in most cases. I know your loving your SP, but I mean generally speaking most boards aren't packing the volume like a SP...I saw an old Murry Smith board a few months ago from the circa '84/'86, 6'2x20.5x2.5 & thought wow, its pretty much perfect in shape based on what works for me. I really wanted to buy it, but it was at a wall hangers price ie. same as what I can pick up a newy lol...but anyway, I digress...will post more as they air.

Take some pics of that board if you find one, would be cool to see
