Hi Guys Hollow brings up a great point here, the "human factor" involved in riding a board. One thing I've noticed is that no two riders use a board in the same way! This became very clear to me when I let people try my home made boards. I would "brief" them on how to ride a particular board and the...

Hi guys Glad my dimpled surface experiment has generated such interest! All I can tell you is that my dimpled surface boards "feel" much nicer than a factory smooth finish when riding. Now we did conduct a "base line test" if you want to call it that, when several of us at my local beach rode my boa...

Leaving soon, very, very soon!

Thanks

Bellow is my latest board, a smaller one for my 13 year old son. Utilizes the same type of construction as the ...

Tucker I'll be there the same time and a week before, and I'm staying just north of you in Rodanthe. I usually bring everything I've got as far as rubber is concerned as you never know what you'll get in Hatty. At the worst a 2-3mil full suit for the ocean side and probably be riding in shorts on th...

BWD Having been involved in the aircraft design business for over 30 years has been rather interesting for me to say the least. Everything from structural design and assembly to flight testing of new aircraft designs has taught me to have an open mind when applying established theories to nonstandar...
