Surfboard model namer calls it quits

 

Sure. Why not?

I mean, Dumpster Diver? Neck Beard? Dwart? Pretty silly.

What I’ve been getting at is that the transition era wasn’t much different when it comes to silly names. Wilken had a board called the Meth model because it was supposed to be really speedy.

All the Windigo boards I do are named after iconic people.

Churchill, Hitchcock, MacArthur, Zappa, Wayne, Cash, Roosevelt, and on and on.

From all walks of life.

Wierd, yeah I know.

Kinda some strange history lesson.



I still see your name MD on the odd board in WRV @ obx and Va beach

its funny names vs. customs…

last board I made I was really lucky to have cad drawings sent to me by a pro, semi-long story that… 

…anyway did I make a copy?

i just couldn’t! Had to tweak nose and tail outlines a bit, stretch it a few inches, but that rocker line, oh I am glad I did not change it.

the good things, it doesn’t matter what you call them

The bad ones, it’s easier to call them names.

Fist fucker hahahahhahaha

I can think of some good ones…

The Blumpkin

The Angry Dragon

The Double Penetrator

The Clown Car…oh, wait. That would have to be an SUP.

I’m sure someone will use the clown car, that’s a good one for a small boat (aka sup).

When I was making fun of model names on here a few years ago, the best I could do was “XP-93 Banshee Lipwhacker”. This article went a little further lol.

my favorite model name is :slight_smile:

 

6-1  swallow tail

I kinda like seeing guys making boards with nams like Round Tailed Fish, Square Tailed Fish, or all the new names being stuck an a variation of a round tail, or rounded diamond.

Did Batman design the Bat tail? Was it Robin, the Riddler? I think it was the Joker.

 

This guy?

Too bad the tail is buried in the sand. I bet that was the very first Bat tail board. But knowing the Joker, it was probably called a Fang tail. I remember the episode wih Batman surfing.

The Penicillin Penetrator is the ideal Board for those surfing in Urban cesspools.  

Looks like the Joker was a Noll rider back in the day.
