Mahalo Swaylokians!!

I just gotta say thanks to all you guys that post good positive information. Its been so helpful to come here, do a search then get my answers to all kinds of shaping and glassing questions and hurdles. I haven’t had to ask many questions as I’m finding plenty answers in the archives… This site is just awesome!

So I’d just like to say… MAHALO SWAYLOCKIANS!!!

Yes, I second that!! Been sorta a uneasy thing. When you read and research all you can about surfboards and shaping . . .

Then realize that you’ve only learned just the tip of the iceberg, and most of the movers and shakers, many with talent, and many talented surfers only want that tip.

Everything about surfing just went upside down. And speaking openly about the info I was picking up here at swaylocks to some of my surfing friends . . . they basically said I didn’t know what I was talking about because I couldn’t do aerials. Because I couldn’t paddle out at 10 ft (HI) pipe and dominate.

But they forget that surfboard design has lots of engineering principles, science, and hydrodynamics . . .

All in all, I’m very thankful a place like Swaylocks exists.
