Ambrose is a man for all seasons and amn of great taste,plus one hell of a chef Like Lee said don’t knock it till you have tried it. Great meeting you Ambrose at the camp out, and all youre wonderfull insight to life. Mark Scott
Thanks Grant.Interesting website.The board looks a little lame though.What about a full length stringer (or 2 or 3) with proper rocker and maybe a real fin box.The board would roll up and fit in a fishing rod type case or something.Maybe Dale could design a prototype. R. Brucker
Ambrose my German is not the best but the translation of the above goes like this. “I have no idea of what you talk about. You are a man who only speaks to be heard, thats a shame. the way the child says to the king you have no clothes on, so I say to you, hey young one, you have nothing to say. when you have then say it clearly so others can understand you.” Ambrose Not my words just a translation, I like your stile but it hurts my head to read it, keep up the good work
cleanlines, Ask and ye shall receive… in 2001-2002, I was paid to develop inflatable surfboard prototypes. This one was 6`-6" and weighed 2 lbs. 3 oz., a fairly complex structure. The fins were molded and cast in 90 durometer urethane, but never used… initially surfed finless (as shown), evaluated in Hawaii. http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/3f3dc92a_74d/bc/My+Photos/__hr_big+black.jpg?bcRU_b_ADz3O8NmK 
THANKS FOR THE TRANSLATIONi dont mean to hurt your head i am speaking out loud to listen to the powers that drive me and to share them…I’llget around to part three…german …wow… no clothes…o ship…ambrose…if I only had the attention span to post a couple dozen photos
Ambrose, Hey, back to the mat. Sorry to be so dim, but when you say mat are you talking about an inflatable? or maybe more generally a rigid board without fins? Thx
cleanlines, Sorry- it seems my photos have vanished (sigh)… so, if you`d like to see what I was trying to share, shoot me an email at (dalesolomonson@hotmail.com) or (neumatic_surfcraft@yahoo.com). Dale
" Hey, back to the mat. Sorry to be so dim, but when you say mat are you talking about an inflatable? or maybe more generally a rigid board without fins? Thx " Hey, back to everyone gettin together and talkin it up big time about our cool maaaaats!!! Hello Greg?? Ambrose is referring to his little infaltable air maaaaaat. You say you`re dim? Bingo! A surf maaaaaat would be perfect! Cheers
After having spent some time mat surfing with Ambrose at the campout I find I enjoy his eloquence, often with the liberal use of metaphors, even more. His slant on life makes me think differently about things, which is always good. P.S- Ambrose- Hope to share some waves with you on our magic bubbles in kauai in the future. Gary
Ambrose, The correct translation of the German is: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re a man who speaks only to hear his own words. Pity. Like the child who told the King that he had no clothes, I say:‘Hey man!’ Do you have nothing to say? If you do, then say it clearly and to the point so others can understand you”. Could the point be: Others want to understand, but if something needs to be translated, then the parties in question ain’t speaking the same language. Best regards, KP
I have eigenlich no Anhung about which you speak. You are a man only speak around its own words to hear. Harm. As the child did not say to the king clothes had, so legend I, "Hey boy!, have don’t you uerberhaubt anything to say? If, then legend clearly and clearly so different can understand it you.
“Psuedo Sniper” I did an archive search. Why don`t you leave the good people of this webiste alone? Why do you have to be such a dickweed?
Aloha Ambrose.That post KP. is not me .Kirk Putnam.Somebody has been doing this for a while with other names lately. aloha
Wheres the pics? Im on Microsoft Inthernet Explorer 5.5 but I can`t see anything-
I keep thinking about the inflatable board.maybe an 8’0 egg single fin with three stringers to keep it stiff and maybe avoid twisting.Could you sew in pockets that the stringers slid into?Maybe the board would would be like three different chambers?Crazy thought but interesting. R. Brucker
yea cap’m kirk I .awoke to another verse last week but I think it might be another song…" caminos de las olas"…the glide reform spot broke sunday the pool water quality meter was about 99.87 all saline lining up on the bottom contours after checking the triangulation there was a big vacant space we coulda fit in a displacement glider…aloha, ambrose…we had many there in spirit …trans dimensionaly. That other guy wasnt out sarge made him peel potatoes
Lieber Doug, Ich kenne Ambrose seid Jahren persönlich. Ich glaube, Du hast recht, wenn Du sagst, Du wüsstest nicht wovon er spricht. Wenn Du glaubst, das er nur spricht um seine eigenen Worte zu hören, möchte ich mir die Bemerkung erlauben, DU weisst nicht, wovon Du sprichst. Schade, denn das was er sagt ist sehr interessant und auch äusserst amüsant. Jeder, der halbwegs des Englischen mächtig ist, das Leben und den Ozean liebt, sollte zumindest in der Lage sein, die Intention seiner Worte zu verstehen. Und wenns nicht klappt? Wie wäre es mit Nachfragen, frei nach dem Motto eines chinesischen Sprichwortes: “Wer fragt, ist ein Narr für fünf Minuten. Wer nicht fragt, bleibt ein Narr für immer.” Vielleicht brauchst Du auch einfach nur Hilfe beim Übersetzen seiner Worte? Menschen sind wohl einfach sehr sehr Unterschiedlich in ihren Sprach und Verhaltensweisen. Das hatte auch schon Bundeskanzler Konrad Adenauer erkannt: “Wir leben alle unter dem selben Himmel. Aber wir haben nicht alle den selben Horizont!” In diesem Sinne… Aloha Boris, Berlin City
I translated what you said. Those words, like I mean they`re so messed up dude. Speak Ameican next time. o.k.? “Dear Doug, I knows Ambrose is personal years. I believe, you am right, if you say, you would not know not about which it speak. If you believe only speak to hear it around its own words I would like to permit the remark, YOU know myself not, about which you speak. Harm, because which he says is very interesting and also extremely amusingly. Everyone, which is powerful the English halfway, which loves lives and the ocean, should at least able be to understand the intention of its words. And wenns does not fold? As it would be free with demands, after the slogan of a Chinese proverb: “who asks, is a fool for five minutes. Who does not ask, a fool always remains.” Perhaps do you need also simply only assistance with translating its words? Humans are probably simply very much different in their spoke and behaviors. That had already recognized Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer: “we live all under the same sky. But we do not have all same horizon!” In this sense… Aloha Boris, Berlin town center”

explanation is in order I befriended boris after he arrived on kauai many years ago after having all his worldly possessions redistributed on oahu(stolen for the metaphoricly challenged) I subsequently I gave him surfing lessons , built him and his girlfriend Hani 9’ boards the next years visit and a few years later after surfing indo he returned to visit …a refreshing aquaintence to be in the company of some one so stoked he sold his car to get the money to come surfin on kauai…boris …Lives in berlin I requested his help to explain things of import to the confounded fellow who wrote so eloquently in german… my wife tells me East Germans are fond of nudity… poinient it seems now that I have enlisted boris’s help…thank you Boris guten tag Y vaja con dios your friend ambrose…boris wont take off in front of you and if 's a concern…yell rous mach schnell when theres a set coming it might be wrong but it works
