How about having different forums on this website for longboards and shortboards? Maybe even fish/shortboards/guns/longboards? Love the website,I just think this would help!
I kinda like the single forum as it seems most topics discussed here directly relate to all types of board designs. Being more of a shortboarder myself i would hate to miss out someones opinion becuase they stay on the longboard forum. just my .02
I feel the surfing community is split up enough (long, short, midlength,etc.) as it is, and needs more unity instead of segregation. There are enough longboard, shortboard exclusive sites, we need more sites where all camps can share their views.
I think Mike did a great job breaking down the various categories for the photo section. Breaking the discussion board down in the same fashion might be tricky. I’m pretty happy with the way it is - this is one of my favorite sites on the internet.
A good shaper can shape all of those boards that you mentioned and it is a combination of knowing bits and peices from all designs that makes one become a good shaper and gives them a large database of mental knowledge. Dont just shape one style of board, embrace them all and you will be surprised how much better your favourite style of shape becomes. Thats why this is such a good site for learning the art of surfboards because we all become one. KR http://groups.msn.com/MyKRSurf/krcomweb.msnw
splitting things up? Naah. 'Cos if we ain’t learning from one another and teaching one another, then what’s the purpose of this here forum?
I’m with Doc.Lots of good stuff about surf mats too.Hell I wouldn’t mind learning something from the kayak guys.These guys can take off outside of the longboarders…ought to get some hackles raised around here. R. Brucker
A lot of information that is passed on in this forum can be used by shorties, longboarders, kneelos, lidders, mat riders ect.
Roger, Here is a site run by one of the “yakka’s” who rides with us. Not a wave pig. He realizes he has the advantage so he gives up more than takes.One of these daze, I’m going to give it a shot. http://www.quietwaters.org/ririders.htm
