Well first off, humbly, I am not claiming anything original or “one-up” on anything that has been done before.
The first humans surfed with out fins; modern man has also. I am not trying to take credit for finless surfing.
Actually very thankful for the others who have, for the monumental inspiration.
I love to watch boogies in the surf. Rode one myself when was just a little guy floating around my local white wash beach.
To see M. Stewart on videos is a lovely way to to experience wave riding.
The Wegener clan on the alaias is another.
Also modern super men surfers are amazing in the water.
Surfing done right, on whatever type or lack of type, is fun for me to watch.
I am experimenting for reasons complete and to myself. Fun.
Yes, it’s true, I am having fun riding my boards without fins; sliding slipping 360 blah blah blah
The above boards that I have made with B. Miller have been made for me after riding almost all of boards without fins.
Then making the channel bottoms in evolution of what works for me and where I want my surfboard to go.
That being said, here in Santa Cruz we get a large spectrum of waves to ride.
I am not taking these boards to The Lane or heavier waves up north.
Just enjoying the many mellow right hand points and reef breaks.
No attempt to break performance barriers or pull in on the gnar waves of the world.
No pictures or video as of me as of yet.
I would like to see some too…
Mostly just wanted to share these boards to others who might be interested.
