Hey Chipfish, I’d sell my soul to ride that at Margaret River one day…Thats the most beautiful thing I ever did see!!! Ever!!!
OMG!!! - looks like something out of Aliens! Never seen anything like it. Blew me away - must have taken amazing skill and patience to do that! And here am I having trouble with a flat bottom!
Ado
I guess a flat bottom WOULD be hard to sit on , AJ . But a jet bottom??!! Maybe it was called that because of the suction created when you get from the sitting to the walking posture ?
peta
The silliest bottom shape ever !

"The WA guys walked in, picked out all the boards in an hour or so, and sent the money and a truck to ship them all back and were never heard from again…do you know who they were???
Maybe plumbers or were they pool guys ?? "
…I’m guessing they may possibly have been space men … did they park their spuuutnik outside your shop ?

Sitting here like a deer in headlights, thinking about boundary layer energization and art and hallucinogens and planing
…but gotta go, there’s actually a swell here
exciting stuff–totally unworkable in any practical …uh, damn those two radiant-looking ones are kinda beautiful
It’s been said before but warrents being said again- the glassers must have HATED him.
Yes. But. If they worked, they’re the wallhangers of all times!
if any board deserved to be moulded thats it…
