I’m down with the less talking more action, but only problem is we need to organise it a bit more, otherwise it will take forever to get around etc etc
So if we can get a list of people in different cities/states who are willing to take the board, and then we can organise it a bit more…
Anyone out there from australia other than perth interested?
haha chippa - wetblankets dont get to ride it if it gets made 
L
dont get to ride it if it gets made

and IF people want to pay $80 to get it from the west coast to the south and east coasts …
once on the east coast , at least the distances are reasonable / driveable between places , so it shouldn’t be a major issue .
how about a smaller , more transportable “moonrocket” single fin , Grant ?
[something that the average Joe doesn’t get to surf on everyday , eh ? ]
Tentatively , something in the 6-6’6 x 19-20 x 2 1/4 - 2 1/2" range . With a finbox for ease of transportation , and so people can try their own fins on it , so there’s variety in the board to report on , too…
Pandanus …
I remember you saying once in a post that you would be up for making a board for me …how about doing that for this project…???
ben
Ambrose,
Give me the word and I’ll have the Famous Magic Travel Board in South Africa in less than two weeks. That board needs to keep movin’ fer the magic to manifest.
Roger
weskus …
I’m counting on you to get a photo of the board , PARTICULARLY in ACTION !!
cheers mate !!
ben
Or we could make an 8" single fin to fit finboxes and someone could make it another guy could do the artwork (speedneedle?) and some one could put in a sways inspired decal and everyone could surf it, photograph it and post pics on a thread here?
yeah , josh …
woohoo… share the stoke …where’s the photo… etc
I’d be happy to make a fin otr two …wood core , fabric inlay and or solid fibreglass …
that’s a hot idea , especially if speedy Josh wouldn’t mind spraying ? [I guess it would be over the hotcoat though , doing it that way ? ie: if hickster or whoever shaped the board here …
or a Bert made composite / vacuum bagged shortboard ?! [It might not return though , I guess ?!]
ben

ben

Americans have a hard time passing things down the line,

It has to do with independant attitudes exclusive of interdependence.
…ambrose…

It seems there is a great interest to get the board going, especially hicksy’s impatient “have to build something” nature 
love it. If your bored mate, you can build me one, I snapped my nose clean off the other day…
Anyways, I’ve just been messaging Mike to see if we can organise some formal support and do this thang properly. If all goes well, we can setup polls for which board and designs for people to vote on so everyone has a fair share of input and then everyone can be proud ‘daddies’ when it gets built. and a whole lot more organisational stuff.
We’ll see, but theres hope.
L
Wait a minute now. If the board is in Big Sur that is only an hour from here. I’ll pick it up. Ride it. Treat it with the love and respect it deserves and move it up north. I"ll even pay to have it shipped to the northwest. Whatever it takes. Mike
this is a funny thread !
the american board , moving at 300 miles in ?? months ,
and
the australian board ,
waiting for a committeee meeting to decide if it will even exist !!
gotta love swaylocks …
ben
go rooster!!!
hey lee whats ytour zip code?
hey TJ whats your zip code?
mebe you can get it north and den down south to sways?
hey rooster p.m. these guys your zip code too!?
addresses are important too
eye guess…
the amazing travel board was an experiment and it is still a success
the contoller factor is what I refused to deal with.
A concerned manipulator and booking agent is imperative.
the genisis of the Idea that the blank I won at sa
was to be made into a swaylox board there by perpetuating the spirit
of the event…
I have also in my possession another blank that I won at the next raffle.
perhaps I should make the southern hemi board too?
or you guys should have a raffle and the guy that wins the blank shapes the board?
raffle the glass and resin and that guy glasses the board?!!!
what fon
—AMBROSE—
if we have numerable boards circling the globe what a thrill!
even every body make one?~~~
international interscholastic
iconoclastic ereudite and well traveled
[it might need a separate thread , or not ?]
but … why not international fin swaps , too ?
…Did your board have a fin box and / or plugs , Amby ?
My thought[s] for the ‘non-existent southern hemi board’ [N.E.S.H.B.] are …
…if not a finboxed single fin 6-6’6 “moonrocket” , then perhaps a “prawn - like creature” [ie: multi fin option] …with fins sent as well , but people free to put their own spin on the board by using whatever fins they have / want !
ben
of course , if you wanted to make a shortboard [was it a smaller blank than the other won?] Amby …I for one would BE STOKED to ride a board you made !
…any Hawaiians planning on travelling to Australia in the near future ?
cheers !
ben
…you won two blanks in two different raffles , Amby ? [how MANY tickets did you buy , and why didn’t anyone else buy any , I wonder ?! ]hehehahahhh
My life is a series of twists and turns.
my good fortune at coincidently winning ‘the blank’ at
two raffles was not overlooked by the observant.
Lee V’s donated prize was also won by the same guy two years in a row,himself!
The travel board experiment was an acommercial alternative to the synglefyn Jello
Commercial undertaking,requiring 100,000 invested $?
at the privately funded tune of undisclosed donated hours
this travel board experiment is still a rousing success
without a pusher of sorts like john mellor’s
un rivaled effort at organising the swayloholix
annomyus events at plaskett creek
everything of this nature happens slow.
windansea had Thor Swensen
Ussa had Hoppy Swartz
Makaha had Wally Froseith
these people dedication is historical
there are ecological niches
unfilled,or if unfilled unsung
with heros in place of another nature
that actual water time is not a priority
nor is family ,work or obtuse art projects
the fact that these organisms surface
periodically are a blessing and
we all benefit.
the driving force of the commercial market place
to put equiptment in the hands of talented young surfers
STARTED BY ST> DALE
is perhps the most positive aspect of the surf industry.
the slow perversion of this ethic over the years of constructing
agnostic guns for hire is of course the unfortunate turn of the worm.
back to the dream time thinking on this
northern southern thought projection
last round I flased on the great race
{ the other driving force in human conciousness}
how bout a northern southern surf race
each board circling the hemispheres
with a start date and points for documented surf stops
riding both good and bad waves
and surviving condition of board durability
aka abusive riding and good repair
any how is the board on its way to oregon?
another hundred and fifty thousand automobiles left San diego this morning
were any of them swaylock mobiles?
Inquiring minds wanna know…
are any aussies coming to my house this spring Fall?
from western australia?
where’s derek?
…ambrose…
humilitty is ego food
n’est ce pas ?
?es verdad?
