You need to have a hardcore buddy or be paying a guy to sit out back and do nothing but hold your sup in waves that good!

To amend my post above, I think Morey's creation of the bb is one of the most brilliant ideas in surfing and have greatly enjoyed riding them. Materials is the problem. Once they die, and everything dies, what happens to it. Also, what resources are used to create it in the first place. We now have...

Today in waves that close with force I have had a very strong blow against the horned paipo, I've done enough damage, I'm fine. has made me rethink the design and make this paipo without fins, I'm thinking of a smooth design but with channels that allow me to run the paced without slipping Remember...

Just curious Uncle G...do you feel the same way about the the foam paipo a.k.a. Morey Boogie Board? The boogie/bodyboard industry have their own wave storm, its the sub $50 bought by the inlanders one week a year beach holiday for the the kids. Here are 600 snapped one left on just a few southern E...

They are the best selling board in the world! "the magic" of them is that the are the cheapest board you can buy coming straight out of china. They unfortunately fill the needs of the average cheap kook starting out in the sport. They are the plastic bag/single use water bottle of the surf industry....

orange and blue boards sold.

Saw this on his facebook page.

Will be interesting to see how you find it with that nose bowl in weaker waves.

Lots of good design-related issues being brought up in this thread. Here’s my $0.02: Every good, i.e. “workable” design is an integration of all its functional elements, e.g. outline, bottom contours, rocker, fin placement, finless, etc. It’s very “Gestalt-ish”, where the whole is greater than the ...

These actually are EPS, not PE like bodyboards. I didn't think about using deck material; I cut bottom skin. The deck material of this board is a bit beat anyway...board was well-abused. More photos later. I was saying the deck is PE. not the core The bottom skin is hdpe plastic i would not use tha...

These are a longboard bodyboard.

Never even seen or felt one in person so no idea of top skin texture? but I've cleaned some pretty nasty wax off boards just by leaving them deck up in the sun for an hour or so and then shaving w/ putty knife. Obvious I know. What's up with this beast? Toe in on fins will create wee bit of drag bu...

To be my usual broken record I ride finless, so when I hear "I didn't have a big enough fin" I feel that more than having a fin too small its more, your maybe not engaging the fin you have, from either it being on the wrong place on the board or you not positioned on the board to engage the fin. On...

If your talking about the hull I didn't keep it long enough to really get a feel for it. I got one wave at Steamer lane on it and I felt out of control going up and down the face which I thought was because I didn't have a big enough fin. I was running a Greenough 7" 4A was going to get a 8 or 9. T...

Its a good looking board, must fly with that wide tail.


Maybe if you give us a list of what it does not do well we could throw in some ideas of what we would do to that design to make it do those things better.

When performing a take off, ensuring your kicking in the water and not surface kick. You'll need the thrust to push forward, position your body positions left or right as you slide your board under you, you will quickly gain speed. Honestly, I'm 238lbs and I float on all of my wood boards. I've got ...

I'll put forward the view that a wood board can be put on the rail - Sean Ross at Pipeline is a prime example. Its more a question of wave rather than board volume. I think the issue is that wood boards are often ridden in mushy/junk waves. The recent video showed guys having fun in junk waves, but...

You should really be fine on a 42.5 (wide point forward bodyboard) I'm your height and weight and surf in the same 1ft mush on one fine here in the wales. If you are sliding out your staying to central to the board and not getting over on the rail/back corner. Also check you board has not bent in th...

"Plowing" is almost always a nose rocker problem. Entry rocker has to be smooth, continuous (parabolic) curve, with no abrupt changes. Smooth transitions can be can be hard to achieve in a shape with such short length. "Belly" or convex rail-to-rail curve doesn't cause plowing. yeah I just did it f...

That is beautiful! In my stand-up experience, many hulls are built too "deep" and tend to bog unless there's tons of power in the wave. Yours appears to be subtle enough to just do the job which is perfect I think. In all shapes, but maybe even more so when dealing w/ convex bottom contours, a litt...

I have belly/displacement in the front 1/3 of my boards. I find it nice to paddle into waves on as it work front 0mph, where as a planing hull your basically dragging through the water till 4/5mph when it starts to plane. I however prefer most of the board to be a planing hull as i don't like the wa...
