Yep–seriously, watch the 'bu vid at proctorsurf.com (board called "lil Rascal filed under “boards>retro”)–aussie kid–amazing, exciting , as he flies around the , ah, other surfers… I’ve watched it a bunch of times now–flat rocker, baby. The MR fins he’s riding seem to work very well.

" l’il rascal " …
a 3 fin [kinda ] fishtailed board
interesting li’l vid , THANKS Janks ! [I like the “keystone cops” type soundtrack …classsic !]
This vid definately shows the differences in the “pumping shortboard style” and the “cruisey mal style” .
If you could somehow get Malibu empty [?!] I would like to have also seen footage of a mat on those waves , a kneeboard , a 12’er or so , and maybe a ‘WCT’ style thruster .
It would be interesting [to film at least] having just those four or five guys and boards in the water …
[sorry for the thread hijack . ]
Now , keeping it on kelly slater riding a fish …
I would definately like to see footage of kelly on a “traditional twin keel fish” at the 'bu , too. [The "chords at J-bay " footage I have also seen , and I was impressed with Dan Malloy and Jesse Faen’s fish riding in that , too !]
Malibu … does that place EVER get uncrowded any more , I wonder ??
cheers
