Shaper and Designers Corner » finless surfboards

finless is so fun, if you dont wanna give it a go, thats cool, each to their own but it is honestly so refreshing, very challenging, but fun once you get it sorted....surfers are funny, there even seems to be negativity towards people willing to try this type of surfing and its from people who havent tried it yet, so many narrow minds in the surfing world, and for a creative thing such as riding a wave, surfers ( the majority imho but not all ) have become a narrow minded bitter bunch.....my rant is over....wicked

Other Surf Craft » hybrid fish semifish wtf

marketing thing ??? I shape everything and anything and it gets bloody confuding if they dont have names , how does a punter tell me what he likes or what design he is talking about without a design name or pidgeon hole as you call it mate ??? There prob is some marketing stuff goin on but for me I just give em a name so I and customers know what they are and to differeciate one design from another...especially with all the hybrids of hybrids with slight adjustments and then modifications of the hybridisation, who knows what these designs are anymore, but I do know it is all time coz finally surfers are up for some diff stuff besides just a high-perf thruster......example of designs I have atm...

Fat-Bat ( semi fish quad )Quadfather ( wider , slightly flatter perf quad )MP3 ( semi-fish- 2 + 1 set-up, retro with modern twist )Swinger ( stinger tye design, semi-fish nose, high perf tail, quad, usually round tail )Hyper ( typical ultra high performance shapes , usually thruster )Double D ( fuller planshape, wider, flatter deck, loose and lively, shorter )Vicous Kanid ( semi -fish, lots of curve, deep double concaved quad (or thruster or twin ) ), for pocket surfingsingles, twinnies, mini mals, longboards and everything in between....without names I would be farrkkked.....

Shortboarders » surfing near bangkok

I surfed at Kata beach in Phuket last June and am goin back to Thailand in April and May, gunna spend a month there living on another island away from too much commercial shit...but am planning a few days at Phuket and probably surf up near Surin beach this time, just need the wind to blow up some swell and there is a few fun waves at the right time of year...if you want a good board, take a high volume semi-fish shape , not many decent boards that I saw there, I just hired a fishy quad which did the job...and am doin the same this time, my son and I will just hire a few different boards and enjoy the nice refreshing 28 degree water....but if I was working in Bangkok and was a surfer, I would definitely be getting down for a few waves every now and then, what I surfed last time was worth it.....

General Surf Discussions » quickie pro 2010 predictions people

would like to see Parko win a title but have my doubts after the last year....I have seen a few pros surfing lately and Dane was a stand out, he does some big turns and so relaxed too...I reckon if he really focussed and give it 100% he would win the title this year....but for this years Quikky Pro, I am gunna say Mick, Parko, Kelly and Dane.....closely followed by Bede, Taj and Owen Wright.....
