  1. stop SHOUTING.

  2. punctuation is your friend. period at the end of a sentence…not a bad idea. <—[see]

  3. when a phrase calls for a comma, the comma comes before the space. <—[see]

  4. pluralization – drop the “-y” and add “-ies”. it’s “epoxies”…not “epoxys”. moreover, why differentiate between “resins and epoxys”. epoxy IS resin.

  5. “are” and “our”…NOT the same thing.

  6. again with the commas (see #3).

  7. i think i know what a “presser dent” might be…but aren’t they more commonly known as “pressure dents”?

  8. call “for and interview”…or call for AN interview? whatever…i’ll let that one go as a typo.

note

i know i don’t capitalize words. that “shift” key is too far away…not worth the effort.

Soulstice - I read your post. (And I liked it).

I did not read whatever that mess was that you were responding to…

Ahhh, come on Benny. Those Kratos board guys sound right up your alley. They make some multi-step type sandy-witch boards. Might be good. Too bad the surf is not good enuf here to allow for us to surf contests or be sponsored. But I think you might actually be sponsored by Pergo or some other floor laminate, right? he, he…

how was the Boards in the Hood Day?

As for Kratos…well see…

Hiya Mysticman :slight_smile: Good to see you erupting out of lurker status…

Boards in the Hood was killer. My 8 year old did a doublebump and tried the quarterpipe a whole bunch of times. I got to talk shop with a deck builder who uses sustainably-forested maple & soy-based epoxy so I was a happy critter.

I’m getting up early tomorrow…if you can get your sleepy butt out of bed, you might get some waves with me & Dexys Midnight Runners (bring your earplugs).

Oh no! soulstice, have you been watching my punctuation all this time? I have period over runs and I can’t stop myself… Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Hehehehe!!! Funny post!

SIGN ME UP FOR THIS TEAM:

ACTs surfboards looking for team riders . . .

We are a new surfboard company, making surfboards out of nothing. We are made in the image and likeness of our Creator who made everything out of nothing.

We use mainly prayer as a core, and abandon polythestic principles. High tech Persian fiber and

Turkish glass and Egyptian cloth / Damascus steel are used, and we have few sap resins and animal glue with flex wine skins to add flex and strength to our boards. We also use real Lebanon cedar recycled from old Roman galleys (Acts 27:39-44)

We are the Holy company whose descendents made double gold box wood construction Mosiac Arc (of the Covenant. If you happen to find it let us know!). We find that good community has boards lighter, stronger, and have unbelievable flex and will not pressure dent with the Faith.

Team riders must be competing against evil, or on Jerusalem pilgrimage tour, or some sort of Holy petition / intercession.

FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH GOD.

EVERYONE BLESS GOD

Oh snap! I’m already a member

I think the requirement NSSA competitor, competition surfer, on a pro tour disqualifies 90% of the forum here.

I think most people here are either soul surfers / shapers / backyarders, but I could be wrong.

at this one job, everyone was asking what was a good office prank for april fools . . . We opted for the MS Word typo trick.

Since I was the computer guy . . . I did a “update” , getting all the usual typos, bad spelling (grammer checking wasn’t implemented in this version of office yet) and uploaded the spell check dictionary

whee!! the emails coming back were hilarious. It took nearly 2 months before anyone caught the messed up documents. Then 3 months went by, sales were up . . . someone remembered the prank . . .

Then to make an example of not doing shenanigans, the managers went on a firing spree. Needless to say they dropped in red . . . I think they moved manufacturing down to Mexico, and the high quality goods were gone, and their repuation was forever ruined .

whats in a name?

Operation Kratos is the code word used by the SO13 (Anti Terrorism branch) branch of London’s Metropolitan Police Service to refer to policies surrounding and including “shoot-to-kill” tactics to be used in dealing with suspected terrorists and suicide bombers. The tactics were developed shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and are claimed to be based in part on consultation with Israeli and Sri Lankan law enforcement agencies on how to deal with “deadly and determined” attackers.

Kratos is the main protagonist for the game God of War and its upcoming sequel, God of War II. His voice was provided by the American actor Terrence “T.C.” Carson.

In Greek mythology, Cratos (“strength”) was a son of Styx and Pallas, brother of Nike, Bia and Zelus. He was the personification of strength and power. Cratos and his siblings were all companions of Zeus.

The spelling Kratos would be more faithful to the original Greek spelling, which is Êñáôïò. The Latinized spelling Cratus has also been used.

KROTOS SURFBOARDS 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON PRESSER DENTS

KRATOS SURFBOARDS: EXTREME HIGH PERFORMANCE, UNBELIEVABLE FLEX, STRONGER AND LIGHTER.

EXCLUSIVE SPLIT TORSION BOX CONSTRUCTION

I YEAR WARRANTY ON DECK DENTS WITH LAP FOAM CORES

ANY SHAPE ANY SIZE WITH OUR CNC SHAPING MACHINE WE CAN DUPLICATE ANY SURFBOARD OR CHOOSE FROM ONE OF OUR MANY TESTED SURFBOARD DESIGNS FOR MORE INFO CALL 949-412-7141

well, obviously Kratos (or is it “Krotos” now?) hasn’t learned. so here we go again…

  1. learn to tone it down some. you’re still shouting, and that just ain’t kosher, homey.

  2. learn your own name. really…this is important…especially in a forum created for the exchange of information. i mean honestly…how can you expect people to put faith in your knowledge of anything else when you clearly don’t even know yourself?!

  3. again with the “presser dents”. okay…so you’re offering a 1-yr warranty on presser dents. does that cover PRESSURE dents, too?

  4. if your high performance is really that extreme, then it should be “extremely high performance”. now, now…don’t knock that “-ly” suffix as being trivial…it’s important! the suffix “-ly”, when appended to a noun or adjective, can make an adjective or adverb out of any of a number of meanings of the original form. basically, it adds the notion of “like” or “in this way” to nouns and adjectives…as is the instant case.

  5. fine…we’ll call them “deck dents”. i’d like to resolve the discrepency between whether they’re pressure dents or presser dents…but i suppose it’s just as well to circumvent the issue entirely [notice that “-ly” suffix that i attached to the word “entire”]. i’m curious, though…are deck dents covered by the 1-year “presser dent” warranty? what if they’re on the bottom?

  6. again with the punctuation. periods…commas…they separate sentences and phrases…and they’re pretty key. learn 'em, live 'em, love 'em…well, those last two might be going a bit far…just use 'em.

mcDing, do you even read these things, or just give me sh!t for no reason? What’s your problem? Every time you respond to a thread I’ve posted in, you take some random shot at me. Send me a pm if you have something to say…I don’t know you…this is getting stupid.

yeah, man. i had the same reaction…but i wasn’t going to go there. it’s simple to correct someone’s miserable english. it’s a far greater task to correct such a blemish of morality, creativity, individuality, dignity, and lots of other things that end with “-ity”.

SOULSTICE SORRY IF MY POST BOTHERS YOU, BUT I AM A SURFER AND A SURFBOARD BUILDER NOT A COMPUTER NERD. AS FAR AS DUPLICATING SURFBOARDS I ONLY DO IT WHEN I AM ASK TO, JUST LIKE EVERY SURFBOARD SHAPER DOSE. I CUT BOARDS FOR MANY SHAPER AND HAVE OVER 500 PROGRAM ON MY CNC MACHINE, AND OVER 60% ARE DUPLICATES.

I HAVE PROGRAMS FROM ALLMOST EVERY SHAPER OUT THERE THATS WHY ALL THE TOP SHAPERS BOARDS ARE ALL SO MUCH ALIKE, AND MOST SHAPERS USED SOME TYPE OF CNC MACHINE, WITH MOST USING THE SAME CNC PROGRAM. SO YOU PUNCH IN THE SAME NUMBERS AND YOU GET THE SAME BOARD …

THE CORE ,GLASS, AND RESIN MAKE AS MACH AS A DIFFERANCE IF NOT MORE THAN THE SHAPE THE FLEX OF THE SURFBOARD IS WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS A GOOD SURFBOARD ,THATS WHY YOU HAVE SURFTECH,FIREWIRE,SALOMON,AND MANY OTHERS WORKING MORE ON THE FLEX AND REBOUND OF A SURFBOARD THAN THE SHAPE ,EVEN THOUGH THEY BOTH WORK TOGETHER ,AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK DESIGN ON SURFBOARDS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE CAN GIVE ME A CALL ANYTIME …

AND YES I CAP EVERTHING WHICH YOU CALL YELLING BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY WAY TO GET PEOPLES TO NOTICE, IT GOT YOU TO …LOL TRY SURFING WAVES MORE AND INTERNET LESS ???

16

wow…not even going to touch that one. it gave me a migraine, and pointing out each instance of stupidity might actually make my head explode.

…and please stop shouting.

17

Seriously, RICHARDL-dude (and I’m not just busting your balls, here) if you’re good with shaping, stick with shaping. Let someone else do your marketing and, in fact, all your public interaction. You’re not doing yourself any favors here.

And yeah…if you want any cred whatsoever, you’ll immediately delete any files on your stupid freaking cnc machine that you don’t have the intellectual property rights to. I don’t care if its 60% or 99% … if you keep that crap, you’re a thief.

18

The only thing i use for my own boards are my designs. I have other shapers designs to cnc cut their boards that they finish for their orders. i was just pointing out that most boards are so much alike that the hand tuning is all the shaper dose anymore and most of the big guys have many shapers doing the finishing of the boards and you can not patend a surfboard shape, i have tried.

And as far as calling me a thief you better look at the surf industry as a whole, that is all everyone in this industry dose is copy one another just look at the whole firewire crase and all the copying that is going on their …

i am a shaper and a composites engineer so i do my best to make the strongest lightest and best surfing boards money can buy, along with many other sporting goods equipment that i have design and set many world records with. which all deal with fluid and aero dynamic …

and it is funny how many people on this site confuse stuipity with truth

all i was trying to do is find a few team riders that want to ride a better surfboard that will out last and out surf what they have right now …

god bless richard.

fair enough

just wanted to say that the lads and lasses

i think it is worth investigating for compsands
