Certain Immutable Laws of Surfboard Design and Building

Absolutely love those guys, Pro shape, talks the talk, can’t surf period, oh and the girlfriend on the beach is optional.

For me just one more “dummy” in the line up…

I geuss I should have kept that board a pro surfer used to own I bought used and sold it to you! Too short, too narrow, wouldn’t float you in your
Dreams… May be a “val” could put ot on top of car so he look like he surf’s… …

I just saw a kook blow a whole session out surfing bcuz he bought a board that was - either too short, too advanced, or too thin etc…Fyi - he didn’t even catch one wave! I geuss that’s why most valley kook can’t surf!:lol

  1. only a very small percentage of surfers are good enough to really feel the subtle differences in modern shapes.

 

True. I laugh when I hear people babble on and on about a board they just bought and the intricacies of design that they can “feel”.  These same types often cannot do a legit cutback or put their board on a rail.

15 year olds telling a pro shaper with 30 or more years behind the planer that he knows more about boards then the shaper.

Routers are Knarly

You are right! But having a “Val” use it as a prop, gave it back to Fanning back in 08! LOL.

17 (?) If you use a surform a lot, you’re doing it wrong.

After 3 beers -step away from the blank.

When you’re not sure what to do next - step away from the blank.

When you haven’t got the right tools - step away from the blank.

When you don’t have the creative urge - step away from the blank.

When you’ve got the creative urge - build your own blank.
