no wuzzas mate !

…two things struck me , as I re-read this article …

  1. how many 23 yo pro surfers today are prepared to ride “non-conventional” equipment in contests [or even ALLOWED to ?]

  2. how many 23 yo pro surfers today could articulate what design characteristics in theoir boards do what , and provide that feedback to their shaper[s] ?

  3. afterthought …how many pro surfers of ANY age are prepared / willing to entrust their success to a “non-shaper” , or LISTEN to any "different’ ideas ?

    just some random thoughts …
