Hey Tom
The poly hotcoat was exactly what I did. I sanded off the previous attempt with the epoxy. I've ridden it a few times now. Makes the small stuff fun

Thanks C.P and Carl

I've just chopped down a 5'10" to a 5'2". Chopped the the very narrow nose (14") of a 22.5" wide, "fins back", epoxy board.. really shitty board. Didnt take out much foam from the new nose so now its a pretty flat rockered board with a thick wide nose. swallow tail.. Re...

anyone know how to avoid fish eyes when hot coating with epoxy resin? I don't have any additives such as additive F. Just resin and hardner

makes reaction time slower, if I'm sitting on my heels, l noticed. Board less responsive. I ride a fins forward board. I find that it I kneel further back it allows me to lean forward and I can turn my torso more and extend more when turning/driving. If I kneel further forward I tend to sit on my he...

I was interested in seeing how kneeboards can be ridden in these waves. Had only seen a couple of kneeboarders in my 20yrs(close to) of surfing.) I think ...

I bought it about 1 1/2yrs ago and I still watch it a lot and learn from it a lot. I've been kneeboarding about 2yrs now and its a great film to learn technique... for beginners and the "non beginners". GREAT surfing & footage. Good music too. It's the only surf film I've ever bought a...

Thank you guys. You've given me heaps of helpful info "... that's why we have kneeboard shapers". You're right Headwax. I have a Parkes (5'10") and a Neil Luke (5'9") that were given to me, in very good condition, by a friend (ya, a very generous guy) . But they were shaped for h...
