A better link is this one: http://deustemple.com/get-down-on-it/
At the end are comments by Larry Goddard drawing attention to the origin of these boards- being his design ideas.

Re: Deus Ex Machina Bellyboard
Bob, what is relationship between the makers/sellers and Larry G.? Did not see any credit given except his post but if you look at the outline and profile shots the duplication is obvious...

Re: Deus Ex Machina Bellyboard
Nice looking boards. But I agree with Larry's comment about the fins. They are a little too small-- not deep enough. The rider will probably skid out on critical sections unless he or she digging the rail in deep or holding with swim fins. This is typical of shaper how doesn't ride this type of board.

Re: Deus Ex Machina Bellyboard
I ride a couple of boards based on Larry's designs. My fins are smaller and I also ride them finless. One place that fins really make a difference is fatter sections where you need to cut back hard. In hollow sections, the really hard rails hold in just fine, just like on other finless wood boards.

Re: Deus Ex Machina Bellyboard
I walked into the duez "temple" a few years back in bali and saw these, they were one of the main eye openers that got me on the path to getting the board I have now, funny how you don't remember things that got you interested till you see them again!
