What happened to Harbour Surftalk? Who is this Saga dude anyway?
REASON FOR THE LOCK UPS I have locked some threads that don?t adhere to the spirit of this Bulletin Board?s intent. It has taken a sorry turn lately. It was never intended to be used to slam others or as a chat room. There are other sources on the Internet for those activities. The intention of this BB is to inform and provide advice and technical answers about surfboard design ? especially Harbour Surfboards - and surfing. It is unique, in that I provide my 45 years of surfboard building experience to give sometimes-detailed answers. Some bulletin boards have no one person assigned to correct misinformation, so some posts provide readers with bogus technical answers. You simply have to trust everyone, some that provide credibility, and some that have little or no credentials. This will provide some very confusing answers to questions. Simply put, who do you believe? I hope that those who post here in the future will do so in a positive manner, so as continue making this an informative and positive place to learn about the sport we all love.

Sounds like a good thing to do. While Harbour’s site will have no soap operas; Swaylocks may go beyond the operas and right into “reality programming.” The quality will suffer, the “gurus” will stay away, and we’ll just have a bickering fest of petty arguments and ancient personal vendettas. In fact this has already happened. Compare the quality of 2001 posts to the 2003 post. Still one of the best places to spend my time; just wish it were better. Rob Olliges
What are you guys talking about? Surfing politics? I just want to find a shaper who can duplicate Skip Frye 'cause my 9’6" was stolen from my pad in Huntington Beach. And some guys have responded; Thanks! By the way, I love my Harbour Wing Pin, but why doesn’t Harbour tweak their “19” Model into a more streamlined section-conector type board? I have to drive all the way to San Diego to find that stuff. If you guys want to get political, let’s all get together and demand that our elected officials do something MAJOR about the pollution that drips into the ocean from every city inland? There are lots of surfers, but lots of us are lazy, no? You guys that operate shops would be good catalysts for organizing.
Wake up you kook!!! This petty little chat room is nothing but a “bickering fest of petty arguments”!!! What business is it of YOURS if Paul Gross is involved in several “ancient personal vendettas”??? Theyre not settled yet are they???? Those guys from HR are still threatening to waste him aren
t they??? Do you really think hes staying away from this "forum" because he
s NOT a “guru”??? Just because he DOESNT surf anymore????? How dare you insinuate he
s “ancient”!!! Why dont you ask yourself why this "forum" was better in 2001???? The answer is ask YOURSELF, "Was I in this stupid little "forum" back in 2001?????" "Was Paul Gross in this stupid little "forum" back in 2001????" We don
t think so!!!
Sorry for the above rant! I feel a little detached from reality or was it 2000??? I will go get my meds ,bye.P.S. I still love this chat room .That’s why I keep coming back! It’s just the past I just can’t stay out of the past -the past the past the past 2002 0222 —
