Great guy. A real treasure.
Paipo surfer in repose,
Nose on the nose,
No grunting he-man pose.
See how fast he goes!
What is it he knows?

"Buy a 1/8'' plywood door skin, shape it and contact cement it to the bottom. Then, varnish the wood. You'll have a really fast bodyboard.If you want something to surf, then figure out how to make it yourself. That's the real kick, riding what you created...I am a surfer! Short, long, medium or body, I ride the wave to have fun for myself, not the board to show off. I already have a girlfriend, and I've been married to her for 45 years."

Re: Tom Morey Interview in SurferToday.com
Sounds like what AtlantaSurfer has been doing with his FrankenBoogie, the ply+polyethylene foam. After two weeks of sea trials with his 5 ft ply+2 inch foam top, he is moving to a 6-inch shorter version using 1 inch of foam. Both have fins.soulglider wrote:"Buy a 1/8'' plywood door skin, shape it and contact cement it to the bottom. Then, varnish the wood.

The original FB is a good vehicle (for me at least) in small waves. But it just doesn't duck dive too well.
