It’s not me, it’s my brother, but well worth putting on the site i think. He’s just as talented at surfing. Somewhere near Cabo.
Um. Holy crap.
OK Chip… here’s a pic of my first board! My dad made a few of these hollow wood paddle boards in the early 50’s.
Probably from the Pop.Sci. mag. Wish I still had that board!

you took the words right out of my mouth. I have always wanted to get that good at skimming
that would suck to fall, becuase athough thats a hugh shore break you’d just smack the sand it would be like jumping off a roof on to a rock or pavement and wow that guy is my hero i wish i was that good at surfing or anything else for that matter
“… did he MAKE it ??”
lol
that’s a GREAT photo , though …going BALListic , for SURE !
how big would that board be , do you know ? [I ask , because I saw a pretty groovy 40" one at , of all places , K-MART [?!] today ! They wanted $55aus for it . With the kick in it , and the width , I figured I could make two good skatedecks out of it , if I sucked at skimming …

What’s that kid’s name??? We’ll be looking for him in the surf media!
I mean, I like carvy stuff, but shit!
So,. ah, did you make that thing he’s boosting up to the sky there, or what?

Fun thread chipper!
Going to make this post in Board-Ride-Spot format.
In the back ground those are islands covered with snow!
6’4" fish
ok some where warm… costa 6’8" shortbard
Here’s some crappy photos, but it’s all I got. These two are of me riding the first board I ever made. These were taken on my birthday last January. Just some wind blown storm surf.
And these are my first test ride of a total experimental board (2 part pour foam in a mold I had made). Just trying to make the best of some one foot surf. Wasn’t happy with the results and sold (gave away) this board for $120. Got to make room around here some how.
Aloha
Fun,fun, fun. Ireland
here’s one of me on a board I made recently…
Ohhh Mister Keith! Pull in Mr. Keith, Pull in!
Turn, Mr. Lee, TURN!!
keep 'em coming guys , keep 'em coming !
‘Shwuz’ , how did you go with that right hand tube you were about to pull into ? […it looks like a decent wedge in front of you , and a bit of a double up ?! ]
I don’t remember seeing that nice 5 finner before ? What are the dimensions of it , please ?
cheers

‘Mook’ , Ireland looks VERY cold , as I would expect , being that far north ! […But FUN, eh ?! that’s good !]
haha i’m so landlocked i would try to get barreled on that 2 foot tube and doesn’t ireland have constant on shore winds?
Hey chipper, that bonzer is 6’10" 21.5 x 2.625 thick
Don’t know which wave you’re referring to, but I’m sure I dodged any tube on both of the steep waves shown. The last one was a survival wave, a “between sets, so get my ass back to the beach” wave.
This is the same place a couple of mornings later.
Never been so f-ing scared in my whole life.
