Re: Front fin(s) ?

On my long and narrow plywood paipo, when I turn, I feel like the pivot point is at the front of the board, the back of the board just reacts by "drifting". This is when I ride on a very forward position. It doesn't always turns this way (in a gently drifting move), sometimes it just side...

Re: fiberglass/polyester + Cores PE, NRG , PP?

Flex may add soft landing to a bodyboard when landing airs, but other than that I find the stiff fiberglass board better at everything else. faster and turns better.

Re: quad fins 44.25 paipo

It will be interesting to hear your experience. I rode this board a few times. Garrett2.jpg Garrett5.jpg It was fun on fuller, down the line waves, but it didn't hold an edge in a tube as well as my current board. The board is a lot thicker than it looks - about 3". That's an extreme one! :o I...

Is this a place that specializes in puddings? My memory you've got a pretty small car. Someone else drove? Yes, they do have a pudding named after the county where this fish village resides. We went in my friend's car but it's just a ford fiesta. We will drive any tiny car anywhere being Europeans....

Re: Everybody wants to

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...
