Finless? The two white book-ends, the bonzer and the handled Quam, have only been ridden with fins. Of the remaining boards,you'll see only the orange board with a set of fins (small rounded keels). This board has fins because it draws a really long line and requires effort to do a cutback. The boar...

The first board in this series was 2 1/2 - 2 11/16 - 1 3/4; the board previous to this one was 1 3/4 - 1 3/4 - 1, so changes recently are more subtle and in the distribution.

My favourite board is the dark green one. It has a foil more like a surfboard foil, with more volume in the nose area. The yellow board is the oldest and most similar to Larry's original design. It was # 2 in the series and thinner than the original. Excluding the red and the white boards, all the o...

I'll start a new thread on nose thickness, so as to avoid the hijack.

The style of board I mostly ride was based on one of Larry Goddard's shapes, as were some of Nomas' early BBs. Larry favoured a thin nose, because he said the nose didn't do anything. I found these boards, nose-dived at speed, something Larry also found, at times. My current boards have more thickne...

Chrispi,

Any thoughts on a GoPro mount set-up that would work on a BB - shooting forward?

Helmet mounts seem most successful. The standard deckmount seems to low and you get water coming off the rails. A wrist fitting has similar problems.

matsurfers FB page had a big discussion on Yuccas. This link should take you to it.

Jarrett,

The parallel arm hold position is noticeable. Do you reckon it works better on these type of waves?

Nomas, Good to hear that you may have a glasser. The flat area where you allowed for finboxes reminded me of this board. Wings_finished.jpg H2_bottom.jpg I have been very content with my current board, but with the world situation, I was looking at this board that I added the wings to and thinking o...

The footpocket is the correct size, same as I've had for years. The problem is that the footstrap doesn't have enough give. After a few weeks of suspension, I can get my feet into them. Apparently a Churchill rep, recommended to the retailer, using hot water. It does make fitting them in a store, a ...

I got my foot into the left fin this morning. Gravity is working. I'll keep trying over the next few weeks.

Thanks Geoffrey. The other pair eventually stretched enough. I might keep trying each day.

As a long time Churchill fin user, the current sizing is a source of frustration. I can't get my feet into the latest pair. Last year, I tried a few pairs of the same size, at the same shop. One pair I could get my feet into, another pair I couldn't. I'm considering soaking in warm water for a while...

This video is avilable in a range of sites, here's one:

Looks more interesting than most.

I think the wave quality can be interpreted in a few different ways. On one level Tom is saying you can have fun riding nearly anything on a BB. On another, I suspect there was a narrow filming window. The video with Warren Pfeiffer included quite a few waves of him riding in the whitewater. So it c...

I should clarify.

The board itself, is a copy of one of John Galera's.

Given the reasons for the nose design, does it add much thickness? You'd assume it does but the nose rocker would thin it out a bit. Has it been in the water yet?

Ahh! Now I know who I'm talking to if i come across you on FB.
Looks like you got some fun waves.

Ok, here are the photos.

John shared some Jocko footage. Looked like fun.

Zensuni.
