Roy Stewart's "Mavericks Challenge"

He’s claiming his boards will go better than Stretch’s at Mav’s. Could get interesting (for those of you that enjoy the occasional trainwreck thread).

"In the fashion stakes perhaps not, but in terms of function my boards are WAY ahead of yours . . . yours are improving however.

The central riding postion and spherical rocker with 50/50 planshape I’ve been doing for 17 years and ALL my boards gave identical overall tail and rocker measurements. . . the benefits of these features you have only just started to discover.

Your tail and fins need to be improved. . . if my boards had the chance to line up at Mavericks with yours in a regular basis you’d soon see who’s on top."

There is a reason why he IS NOT on  Swaylocks anymore.

He violated the “dont’ get kicked off of swaylocks more than 17 times” rule!

Is that once for every 17' of board?

LOL

Walk a mile in Roy's shoes.....Think about it.............outside the "surf industry'..............

I'm not happy with Roy's attacks on Sways...........

.....But I like the guy.....

It's easy to say the guy is lame....Really easy....I don't think he is lame.....

No matter what........Roy Stewart builds awesome surfboards.......

Maybe not surfboards you want....but very nice boards......

and.....please post photos of your Mavericks and  Pipeline boards here.....for Roy....My friend Roy....

 

Ray...stingray...thinskinray....aka...Ray Stewart........

I feel sorry for his children.

He’s got some wood glue and screws loose.

Who do you guys think surfs better Stretch or Roy? I would cherish seeing them both have a go.

Roy in his red wetsuit.....hands down winner!

...now....how about some photos...... people.....photos please.......

That includes you Ghettorat.........

Ray Stewart..........

    Howzit stingray, If you like him then it's your choice and that's that. I stopped liking him when he started sending emails to my home email address attacking me for a non vicious post about one of his boards. He just went mental for something that anyone would have laughed at but he took everything as a personal attack when that was not the case. Aloha,Kokua

Hey, I had the red wetsuit his was pink!

Bottom line Roy is a hard worker & is a very observant original thinker.

He has problems like the rest of us and get’s more flack than most.

I would love to see and try one of his boards.

 

My only exp. with Roy is through here and it wasnt pleasant.

Like him or not, he made a very bold claim on a design forum.  I think many people here would find it interesting.

As for me, never said I could make a Mav's (or Pipe) board that was/is superior to designs being proven there every swell like Roy just did. 

WAIT A MINUTTEEEEE HERE!

 

You can't jump from challenge to challenge! Rule 43b section 2, states:  ""Talking drone"" must complete first challenge before moving to said next challenge. If not complete with 3 years all challenges are null and void and said challenger must be banned for life, or have to be banished to small cold island with sheep.

 

WHAT ABOUT THE PIPE CHALLENGE!??  Am I living under a rock? where are the Pipe pictures of this new board that was supposed to dominate Pipe.  The only pictures I saw was Randy surfing it at mini Sunset point, and the lack luster performance the wooden beast it dished out.

 

Show me the PIPE footage before next challenge. OR be banished with sheep.

Garrett McNamara "surfed" a couple waves at Pipe on that board, but according to Roy, wasn't in the "sweet spot" so maybe it was a flawed test? There was video of it somewhere, probably floating around the 'net somewhere.

NZ has some pretty heavy surf. Why doesn’t Roy just go out and show us how well his boards work in solid surf?

I’d love to see pictures of him riding his boards in DOH+ surf.

not DOH - but Roy's never been shy about posting pics of himself riding his boards

Sorry folks. I’m stopping this before it gets stupid.
