Howzit Again Rob, Gary Mcnab was also involved with Futures in the beginning.Aloha, Kokua
Superfly you are outrageous man !! I saw you in a Kite Board movie, man that hair is hilarious…And dude in my opinion you are an all round “Waterman” He flys he surfs and can cling to walls…Bustin OUT !!! Superfly is my rep !! and God is my co-pilot… Cant fail now… Halleluya Halleluya !! brothers and sisters… http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
The FAT Penguin…like flies to shit!
T.E No one should talk about “bustin’ Out” here, leave that kinda of flashy, downtown urban surfshop talk at the door you should soon be walking out of. YOu come in here under the pretense of sharing information, ooh heck i smell a salesman, are you on the clock? I dont expect you to answer truthfully, say is superfly your other screen name?, i noticed its registered, do you use it on Hurley.com when yer hocking your muck there? This is a personal attack i suppose, but its a newtonian reaction, 2nd law i think, your manner has spawned this (perhaps not completly equal and opposite) reaction…people being critical of your character; thusly you lose credibilty and cant even do your Job plus you come off as a douche bag. Do your Friend Paul a favor and quit. YOu wasted our time, but its fun to shoot fish in a barrel. P.s Does any one else accidentaly ding their boards when removing fins on boards with FCS, pivoting the fin foward and back; boy i dont like FCS.
A kind and honest point of veiw would have sufficed but I suppose if you see some one down givem a good kick for luck…that is an urban downtown type oh thing to do…dude. Shine for us oh Friend of the Douche bag. Give me your ministerings with aqua flush and belittle someone who brazenly gives a personal opinion with out even postering a single marketing pimp “buy my fin or board” I only ask you all to try and build one yourselves or have one built…no gimmick no leashes or finplugs wetsuits or shirts…Evaluate my anecdotal evidense by building the bird then you can burn it or crush or stroke it but dont waste your time trying to buy one of me…Ill sting you for US$1500 for a 6’ version, so dont go there its to expensive for the most of you. I mean why would I try and sell such an ugly looking board to begin with? It has no wow appeal no quantifiable performance records no pro endorsment it costs over US$20 per inch, sheesh it would be damn difficult job got to say that. No Swaylokians Im only sharing as much information as Im directed to do, keep you all thinking and have a laugh at the sqabbles from the seagulls… Give me a fulcrum and a lever and a place to stand and I will move the world. PS thats just an opinion… PPS please read and reread threads as it seem some of you are assuming many things without fully reading explanations and replys… PPS If I annoy you turn off the TV… PPPS Mike will set me straight if I stray from the program…hes probably just as sick of me as the rest of you but still has the decency to let a Fella express their opinion…Many thanks MIKE [smile] http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
We’re just kicking a dead dog here. Some people hate the FP, others love it. I got no personal opinion cuz I’ve never played around with one or watched one in the water. Folks, if the design is as bad as public opinion on this site believes it to be, the thing’ll die like a buck in my gunsights. And if it is dying, leave the sucker be and pull the plug and move on in life. And if it actually does have merits and sticks around and some crazily talented waterrat uses one to win world championships we’ll all look like fools in the history books for screaming about it. These hack and slash threads are what’s really making us look like fools. TE, if ya got something to sell, get it put under links or something. Quite posting your cheap commercials under anything vaguely related to some aspect of your fav design. It ticks those of us coming here with questions and just causes a ruckus.
…you are the first correct response,would you like a set of glue-on Superchargers for your effort?Herb
My friend the DEER hunter, How I respect the mighty hunter with the high powered rifle the sharp shooting scope and the sneaky quiet sneaker boots…If only Bucks had a gun then you would be a real man…Sorry I lied I have no respect for people who hunt animals that dont own guns… Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully. http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
left coast punk nailed it …i dono what it is about T.E. but this has become pengiun bashing season .lets just see what time has to say on the matter ? my question to T.E., are you serious about this design???or is it a marketing experiment to quantify what people can be fed without becoming suspicious of the ingredients???.for me im switching off to fat penguin talk …its in no way constuctive …if we ignore him he might go away…T.E. i hope im not encouraging you now ,but some of the things you say to annoy people have laughing out loud so you do have some value… regards BERT
Awww Bert…tickle …tickle…Laughter is the next best thing to surfing and rooting…Some of the posts make me roll of my chair !! Wonder if you can laugh, surf and root all at once? Now that would be Nirvana… K guys design me the “Copulator” a surf board for casual sex. Post the design on the web Ill test it for you and send you the feedback…might need a camera and a tank for imperical data… http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
Penguin is the Cornish word for “white head” - a kind of pimple. Maybe the truly stuipid name is the reason that most people can’t stomach the thing? If you’d have called it the “penetrator” or “interceptor” or something a little less embarrasing, people would take you more seriously. The stuipid smile on its face is a major put off too. in fact, the more i think of it - you’re taking the piss really aren’t you?
…I retired from hunting about 20 years ago. …It was 2 legged animals I hunted. …The prey did have various weapons,and a lot of heart. …If you don’t respect your enemy,you have no respect for yourself. …ONE SHOT…ONE KILL…want to know my confirmed count? …didn’t they take all your guns away in oz? Herb
Yes as soon as they did a man Named Mike Odwyer invented a revolutionary balistics system that removes the need for cartriges and firing caps…In fact theres an intersting story about this as it has been heralded as "the most important advancement in ballistics in 500 years"General Electric. “Metal Storm” Max firing capablility 20,000 rounds per min per barrel. And my friend its takes a electrician and a lathe and you are rolling. Very frighteningly simple. How is this, god My government is stupid. MIKE for 24 months canvased military and private contractors here in AUST he even took it to Trade shows. Nothing. After 12 months IN USA general E invited for him to demostrate it and purchased the rights that same day. Noticed this on the news “once” here in AUST. http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
Hey, I’m new on here and did not read this whole thread, but I would like to post my opinion. The analogy and history the essay started with talks about scientific approaches to sailboat design (racing specifically) and leads into someone scientifically analyzing fins to come up with a better design. I’m all for new design, but not by trying to discredit someone else’s approach to design change. With something as complex and infinite as fluid dynamics, no one approach (scientific or “feel/eyeball”) I don’t think works very well. The racing boat lead in is great, The America’s cup at it’s inception was a joke of rich guys that could not scientifically design or sail themselves out of a bathtub. The International Fisherman’s cup had the real action, with a dropout drafter designing the best race boat ever built, the Bluenose, which beat the American’s for twenty years straight. Anyhow, I just wanted to vent about someone posturing behind big words and discrediting the more simple people. Hope everyone still has fun w/this stuff and does not take it tooooo seriously.

Nothing wrong with killing animals as long as there are plenty of them and you dont waste the meat. This stuff about giving a deer a gun, silly half-arsed pacifist, vegan nazi crap.
Well said Lefty, and hell the board might be grand, and if it does, so much the better. Its just that the guy on the soap box that irritates me. Let us wash our hands of this matter and see what developes.
… electro-magnetic rail gun…of sorts …anyway,good luck with the FP.Herb
…I know that’s not going to happen in our time. …people say “WE”, I had no business where I was…neither did the eastern warsaw pact.Herb
Imagine what you could do with $100,000 other than make the worlds ugliest surfboard complete with plastic edge things.
