hi bert
welcome back:)
back to topic
Anyway in a moment of spiritual clarity
i had a realisation
i was just about to make a point about cottage industry and the subsistance market.
how it was the only true way that humans can stop the planet from turning into the
garbage strewn turd river that is third world industrialisation.
And how ironic that a great and generous guy like Roy Stewart who has chosen this greener path has been banned from this forum.
Its ironic that he is actually been using some of these “high tech materials” for 15 years, in composite surfboard construction.
hes been using perimeter stringers the whole time, epoxys, greener materials, and an ongoing and deep understanding of flex patterns and the engineering concepts behind this.
Its strange that some of his building methods and theories have been recycled by the “high tech” big industry names and labeled as their own.
And further more disturbing, that his banning was based on unprovoked malice by certain members of this forum who felt jealous and threatened by roys popularity.
And their weak and pathetic argument, that roys claims of speed and performance of his unusual boards were false (as a justification for their hatred) and some sort of an affront to the purity of American surf history. When in reality every major boardbuilder, finbox producer and resin producer that posts here also makes similar claims about there own products(manufactured with ethics or not). And the true history of surfing is in reality completely distorted by the drugs, lies and scandal that is still today, all to prevalent in this sport.
But what really blows me away, is grown men (and women) trying to emulate the free market environmental disaster of their babyboomer ancestors. And continue to rape and pillage the environment in the effluent wake and litter of their predecessors selfish decadence.
