I think people should be able to surf whatever they wish and not be judged for it! its naive and arrogant.....
essentiallly you could be missing out on talkin to somebody, maybe even making a mate because your views of what they ride in the surf tell you there a "Kook" him real awesome aloha in that thought. dont spend anytime dwelling on that sort of crap... each to there own and leave it there aye.
And what did I said??
wasn´it the same????
"Look at me, I can turn this boat 2/3 off the lip - I'm ripping." Honestly, I'd much rather my son tell me he's an atheist/gay/communist/drug-addicted puppy-beater"
Hmmmm.......american rednecks and the Taliban..........not a million miles apart from each other eh?
just wanted to say my piece too.......
anyway back to the board.
as a matter of fact
not fiction,
both the tellyban
and all american rednex
are stewart hp team riders,
and none of em have custom
rides only popouts cause they all live
far from the beach or any good surf.
Boards designed by people who actually surf
are at a disadvantage as a market commodity
because most consumers of manufactured 'products
neither surf or live anywhere close to the beach or have
any discernable backround to make an intelligent choice
based on aything other than the printed word that spins
testing with edited quotes that leave out pertinent
contextual
arguing points.
''Ultimate terms in contemporary rhetoric ‘’ *
proports that to infuse an arguement with credibility
or to difuse a contrary argument to use an ultimate term
like ‘’atheist/gay/communist/drug-addicted puppy-beater"
or “”.american rednecks and the Taliban…
**o’the topic of whadda bout this design credibility
obviously has nothing to do with endangered albino seal pups
oil leaking lowriders, Levi strauss 501 jeans
or the third reich but the mere mention or allusion
of such into the discussion of a shiny plastic toy
designed and built for consumption and disposal
erodes any meaningful evaluation of the credits or detriments
of this design and its performance.
In closing I would like to say I have reversed my opiion
and now think because I an aspiring puppy beater
and a redneck tallyho bandelerro levi 501 wearin
nazi throwback I want all traditional clean shapes outlawed
and everyone must only ride weird shapes computer generated
by industrial design award winning geniuses that belong to the rotary club
in san mateo.

george orwell is not god.
But he knows god’s literary agent
personally.
oh by the way
pop outs are
a good thing.
?
penguins are fat seasonally
for survival not a market share.
*george orwell
**at this point I lost the control of the font
some day I will be a better geek.
penguins have fish breath
after eating fish exclusivly
for a lifetime. Riders of high criterion
designer boards manufactured in
hight tech Facilities are superior surfers
in wave pools.

mom whats a NIMBY?
come here, sonny, I will give you my opinion...
Peanut allergy is a type of surfboard allergy distinct from nut allergies. It is a hypersensitivity to boards shaped like peanuts causing an overreaction of the immune system which in a small percentage of people may lead to severe physical symptoms. It is estimated to affect 0.4-0.6% of the population.[1] It is usually treated with a steady diet of good waves ridden on conventionally accepted plan shapes and vigilant avoidance of shapes that may be contaminated with whole peanut shapes or peanut particles and/or oils. The most severe peanut allergies can result in anaphylaxis, an emergency situation requiring immediate attention and treatment with epinephrine.
Symptoms of peanut allergy are related to the action of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and other anaphylatoxins, which act to release histamine and other mediator substances from mast cells (degranulation). In addition to other effects, histamine induces vasodilation of arterioles and constriction of bronchioles in the lungs, also known as bronchospasm (constriction of the lineup due to overcrowded conditions exacerbated by BRC, or board-rejection-complex).
ambrose and fell on a wave of rhetoric
Firstly and as already noted there’s nothing particularly new or novel about the template; it’s just a more extreme version of Morey’s Swizzle, 9 years later. In fact, I consider Morey’s combination with the angular rails to still be a fair bit more technical. I don’t know about the utility of the parabolic rails 'cause I’ve never surfed one but I know that some people like them and that’s cool too.
It’s not the “new” aspect of the board that cracks me up so much as what the combination is intended to do. This is a board that was designed by a guy who obviously can’t turn a surfboard for other guys who can’t turn a surfboard. I’ll be $20 Meyerhoffer didn’t even shape the prototype himself. I’m supposed to arbitrarily respect any part of that? Pass. I’ve got a lot more respect for the non-surfers in China who have learned how to lay down a clean resin-tint lamination.
Secondly, the original post was a solicitation about the opinions on the merits of a design relative to a particular style of surfing. The post didn’t include any qualifiers such as “Please limit your responses to only positive vibrations”. Moreover, the question doesn’t involve Luis’ own handiwork or design combo that he worked out with his shaper, which I would never criticize under any circumstances. It was strictly about merchandise, which is why I implied that Luis could get the same effect AND support his local shaper at the same time.
Thirdly, we “judge” shapes and surfing styles all the time. Telling a guy their board is cool or commenting on how great someone surfs is “judging” them, but we don’t consider that a negative, do we? No, it only becomes offensive when those opinions turn out to be anything less than caring, kind, sensitive and nurturing. Kumbaya is king, huh?
Here’s a tip: if you only want feedback that validates your own opinions then just say so up front. That will warn the critical thinkers that they should just sit back and keep their opinions to themselves.

Who is in where?
Water is not compressible, you don’t believe me? take one of these:
and go play with the water tap. You will notice that the water doesn’t COMPRESS to increase it’s flow rate as you try to push more water through it, merely the water will overflow over the funnel…
despite knowing a few small details about sailing, I still don’t know of a “venturi” BIG BOAT nor the relevance of any BIG BOAT designs on longboard surfboards, but please do share your findings in greater detail.
"I need opinions..."
Obviously posted in the wrong place. There aren't any opinions around here!
I know some people who've demo'd them and liked it, and some that said it was no big deal, and some that said it sucked. It's most definitely not some big breakthrough. Except maybe in terms of marketing a board designed by a ''designer''.
Anytime anyone starts talking about ''compressing'' water or ''venturi effect'' through fins/concave all sorts of red flags should go up.
Weird designs seem to be ''cool'' right now. Whether they work or not seems of little significance. So this board is very ''cool''.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the eli and nick mirandon porpoise boards...

as to a venturi effect? Water is not a compressible fluid. and this too has been dealt with before...
[/quote]
As a matter of fact she´s in´t, but the continuos fluid of the water passing trought, is..
Wich means that the water will diminue velocity tho the middle and will accellerate at the end (Theory...)
(the modern big boats have this "kind" of design)

The modern war vessels have this kind of design; the middle part of the boat is compressed to the inside.
One thing to say:
When I asked opinions, my principal concern is to know principally all the defects of this board (of course... because the good things were told by the producer)
I´m not searching, also an oppinon of a "body-surfer" of a longobard, wich is compreensive (this means that if you don´t like this board, I respect completely, but if a person does´nt like, does´nt means the board isn´t good)
The design is (eventually) an "aperitive" that, of course, will not like to greeks and troyans at the same time, but DOES IT WORK, OR NOT???? (this is the reall question....)
Hey Luis - No offence intended. The kids on the boogies were/are - just that.
Anyway - “Style” aside, the board appears to work similar to many a long board in small waves. Certainly no better: based on my observation of the videos.
