A kind of design

I need 2 kind of opinions:

one from the riders and another from the shapers;

this concept I did understand it, mas she rides differently...

I need opinions:

First up, it pushes water.

Watch the vid, the board has no flow from the middle, instead of trimming or gliding, it pushes a bow wave.

Second up, its GSI crap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

since you aren’t accepting opinions from the peanut gallery, I guess I will keep my mouth shut, can I chuckle?

 

The thing makes me laugh for two reasons. 1. I haven’t tried one and, 2. If it doesn’t bedazzle me on a head high wall I don’t want to look at the thing, I don’t like peanuts much anyway.

didnt Tom Morey allready do that?

the "Swizzle"

as a rider if looks unstable as you approach the nose since it is narrow it also looks like it really isn’t very good. in those waves on my Bing Noserider, I would be perched on the nose for most of the time, it is fast when you want to slow down and slow where you would want to speed up.

Comical.

I always wonder how your suppose to make a judgment in shin high surf???  

As for what there was to see - looked about like any other long board by function - but that’s only from the occasion I’ve had to observe similar stuff in a similar setting.

Come on Taylor, look at that thing sinking and not really getting up on plane.

Thing would get laughed out of the water up here and ya know it!

:slight_smile:

Haahahaha!!!

If I ever post full on pics of my creations, I may get laughed out of** this** virtual water… 

Truth is, I could only stand to watch about three waves, then I scrolled through to see if the had any bigger waves.  

And, I think even Morey’s “swizzle stick” was less cut away…  

I have to agree w/you when it comes to them going to the nose - as they passed the cut away, the board about came to a stop.

The Morey "y-swizzle" is less cut away, I rode several of them when they first came out and did not like them, but I also surfed a contest against Jimmy Gamboa (he was riding a swizzle), and he ripped on it in good size waves.  As for this board I don't know, but I don't think it would work very good with those big cut aways.

Hey lbj - I don’t know who Jimmy Gamboa is, but since you mentioned him, the perhaps other know him to be a good long boarder, and as has been pointed out here on many occasions - some folks can rip on just about anything.

Well... I tried this weekend and sincerely at the first wave, i made the wave very confortable, with easy cutbacks, bottons riding the back half of the board, she really´s fast as I couldn´t espect..

 

mas it doesn´t serve to buy or make one if I don´t became to believe on this... a single noserider "flies" on the wave ...

this one seems to accelerate..

I personally find the best nose riders don’t fly the just kinda chug along with the wave. there are few things worse than beach break, having to dropknee cutback back into pocket to get a nose ride and by the time everything is set up the wave is almost over.

Taylor O, Jimmy Gambo is pretty fricking good. When my friend visited Malibu, Jimmy was one of the 10 guys out and he would pop up switch-stance crosslegged, do a big faded bottom turn, spin around,  and walk up and perch himself on the nose. The friend was a NJ scholastic state champ longboarder and if he was blown away, so you know Jimmy was really good.

Bing! There you have it, what more could you as for? Take that peanut and run with it.
