A question i've often asked myself has been answered! Great to know that all that knowledge is being passed on in to obviously capable hands. :idea: 8) 8) 8) Ross, you are a privileged man indeed! Look forward to seeing the results in action! :D I just turned 30 on Saturday and shaping boards is som...

I have nothing but respect for any individual shaper who will put time, energy and knowledge in to the shaping of kneeboards. Even if their end product i wouldn't personally choose to ride they have come to their own conclusion for very valid reasons

:roll: You've missed the various points altogether kneelingBrotha, everyone here will have at some point ridden other craft and most continue to do so with zero snobbery :D You were given a kneeboard from a seriously generous soul. :idea: Ride it and stop rattling on about nothing. PS. The Machado e...

6'0" x 23" x 2.5" Off Beat pin tail, well foiled rails, spiral vee, thruster. It's a semi gun really as if it does get huge here there aren't many spots around to hold it. Paddles beautifully and draws lovely lines. Thinking of adding maybe a 6'4" at some point in the future. 6'0...

Just uploaded 2 quickies in to misc pics.

Hi the'wax, Opening night went realy well and the positive feedback we've had has lead to us staying open another week before retuning the space to our working studio. Still quite overwhelmed by it all really! We're in a difficult part of the country to be successful in this particular genre and all...

Thanks the 'wax! Really excited about the opening now, there's nothing quite like it in this neck of the woods so fingers crossed we'll do well! Just having a workspace with a few like minded good friends has been a true inspiration so far anyway so if i manage to sell anything that will be a huge b...

Skansand, very true a bat tail doesn't have the same hold as a crescent. I bodyboarded for 10 years before getting hooked on kneeboarding and remember well the first bat tail i rode as soon as they came out, Morey Lanson Ronquillio model, took a while to get the feel of it as it was so different to ...

The bat tail on a sponge was originally to add planing speed and tail area without sacrificing hold. Think of it as a round tail with mini pins to keep the edge firmly planted. No idea what it's supposed to do on a stand up board apart from look 'cool' as there are plenty of other ways to keep tail ...

Guess i'm lucky here in that all i've got to do for a new board, stock or custom, is pop down to see Crox or Tony. Visited last Saturday and there was a good 10+ boards both new and used right there from 5'9"s to 6'3" semi guns! The custom option also easy as Crox keeps all the templates s...

New School in the 60's for sure but definitely Old School now.

Greg, Echoes is on the Crystal Voyager DVD which should be easily available from GOOD surf shops!

I lived in Laguna for a stretch about 4 years ago. Good place to be! Used to hang around the Oak St./Brooks area mostly. Rockpile up the top and Creek down the road. Never had a problem with crowds at Creek. Everyone seems to bunch up around Rights off the point or down at Gravels. Best waves probab...

Just been filled in on what happened to the posts, guess i came to a quick conclusion that was a little off the mark.

Cheers all,

Oh yeah, as far as fins go i never use bigger than a GX in the back. Find it a good balance between drive and release. Any bigger just feels a bit over finned to me but that is down to the individual for sure.
