The personal abuse has been all yours... go back and check.

Your chest thumping notwithstanding (since none of it is relevant) constricting flow by hooking those blades is going to cause extra drag, it doesn't take books to know that though books will obviously confirm it.

By the way I did post that I like your 70's boards and asked a polite question about the shape of the 'blades' on the board in the picture, no need to answer if you don't want to.



I have seen your boards....I have seen you surf...you have nothing to contribute to this thread.... you can now f#ck off


'that is personal abuse

you can post whatever you like...you will not get any more response from me


Avoid the hard questions and tell those who ask them to f off... way to go.... only PC replies allowed, lol.

And Roy wears out his welcome on yet another forum by professing to be holier than thou!
You could always give up surfboard building and start a religious cult.
You've got the look and the attitude dialled in already.
Apparently there's good money to be made.

contrary to belief, I am happy to announce that with all its design flaws the knife is showing some very good signs...it has been a comfortable board to ride straight off the bat...so far its best attributes are....great paddling...I think its low nose entry rocker is playing a big part
stable on take off....that has to be the blades, I'm thinking...when I jump up its like standing on a bubble , that is the only way I can describe it...a stable bubble that's lifting me
hugs the wave face....that's the blades for sure...it just grips the face and takes off when you lean into a turn, when I put my beer gut into it, it just takes off
constant inertia......the thing will just keep going, it will run along the bottom of the wave through white water and link up with sections...it is almost like it's going fast...but how can that be...could this board be defining the laws of physics...surely not...oh dear for one moment there my emotions went unchecked....so blow me down...I was told it would not work...it has design flaws...AND IT WORKS...who would of thought, that after 45 years of surf design and 55 years of surfing that I would just luck into something that works....oh dear....I must sound like I am pounding my chest....sorry thrill seekers....(note to sel******o not pound chest)...but hang on...narcissism is the new black...oh and I know...sarcasm is the lowest form of whit....no f#ck it...I'm going to get a stupid fluoro wetsuit and a gath helmet and wait for some one to shoot me out of a cannon...oh but wait...my beer gut....what about my beer gut....dam...I must give up the piss....no I'm going to get a pair of John lennon glasses....things will look different through those....my boards will look better....my bottom turns will look better....my beer gut will turn into a six pack....I'm an aussie and I'm gunna HTFU

You've sold me Ron, but I'm just an easily lead dumb aussie. Happy it's actually performing how you thought it would, surprise, surprise. Can't see anything in the above post that needs any apology as far as I'm concerned.

I'll be happy to share a beer with you in a couple of weeks mate, we can work on our guts together.

Hey Duck is that 70's pic at the old shed at Korora ?
i bought my 1st newbie of you there it was a 6 foot pintail white and marone pintail single with perfect pin lining ......wish I had kept it ......fantastic rider , I remember the 1st surf was at Gallows ...no leg rope as I hadn't enough money for one ,went nearly verticle on first wave and lost it ,it ended up drifting towards the rocks at Southern end and went into the crevice that was there back then and didn't touch a single rock ,when I got there it was laying on the small amount of sand untouched or scathed, funny now but not then ,I was around 15 or 16 and worked hard for that board ,I better come and see u for another ay

I didn't say that the board wouldn't work I said that the runners will produce unnecessary drag.

Look out Ron!!!!
