Anybody read Kirk P, Matt M, and Steve K’s article in the latest TSJ about Liddle-style hulls? Sweet Kopps artwork.
Seems like 2-3 years ago, we were chatting up this interesting design before the fish variant shapes caught fire. Let’s not forgot that these boards are point wave-destroyers, albeit in a very different riding style (e.g. Scott Anderson’s Bojorquez and Pescado)
Greenough flex fins! Amen.
Thoughts?
Good on you guys!
The Good, The Bad, and The Stubby
By Kirk Putnam, Matt Miller, Steve Krajewski, and Alex Kopps
Thin-railed, S-decked, convex-bottomed, with a finely foiled fin set way forward, the hull is a strange craft. More spaceship than surfboard, hulls, or “Stubbies” as they’re affectionately called, will change your surfing life—that is if you can figure-out how to ride the darn things. Not the machine for junky conditions, the hull demands smooth and shapely point walls. Give this design what it wants however, and you’ll experience something altogether unique in surfing. Like many of the best things, it might not look like much, but the magic is in how it feels. The hull tribe touches the intangible and sets the stage for ongoing explorations in the realm of speed and trim.

Hee hee hee…and not just TSJ…such a good modern puzzle…how or perhaps why can something be more valuable the less it is used and the more it deviates from it’s intended form? In this case a magazine consistently hits such a high standard of content and production values it becomes a valued item, and the less it’s content and production values are examined the more valuable the commodity. I understand that in regards to physical constructions but the whole thing is the intellectual content within books or magazines. I can almost visualize the ultimate collector with a display wall of Surfer’s Journals, each and every one still in their white paper delivery envelopes. Maybe some cynical surf artist can put together such an assemblage, easily worth five figures for corporate surf art enthusiasts.
(chuckling again)
The thing is, TSJ is as close as ( given you and me, Nels ) the closest they come to the counterculture in main-stream surf stuff. Who else did an article on Greenough, or let Ron Romanosky go wild with the Wedge cult-ure.
Ah well. it’s all silly, when ya think about it.
Doc
it’s all silly, when ya think about it.
I say to the world: Dare to be free - open the pages and read the magazine. Which magazine? Any magazine! Read!
What a subversive notion. You won’t get that from “Access Hollywood”.
Nels, if I may add
I say to the world: Dare to be free - open the pages and read the magazine. Which magazine? Any magazine! Read!
And read with a good, skeptical grain of salt. Everybody ( including Nels and me ) has an axe to grind, a sacred cow that needs feeding.
Read things that you disagree with, intelligently. To understand where they are coming from.
My late and much honored friend, teacher and mentor Thomas J. Wassmer S. J., Ph.D (Phil. )suggested in both act and instruction that if you would argue ( In the philosophical sense of an absolute exchange of ideas and thought) with someone with any degree of success, you must understand their view at least as well as they do and defeat it from their logical ponts, not merely your own.
Merely saying ‘nyaah, nyaah, yer full of it’ means nothing. Persuading someone to a better path…well, hey, karma and fate may reward you…if in fact you’re right. And maybe you’ll find you’re wrong, which is even more valuable.
And be kind, don’t ask me how many times I have discovered that I was howlingly wrong… it’s greater than one, and less than infinity, but not a lot less than infinity.
doc…
