Sounds like a great idea.
Who would you get to shape/glass it?

I was wondering whether anyone knew of any films of Peter Crawford surfing.
He did a Solo softdrink advertisement in which there is a surfing sequence, the stills of which are on the internet but does anyone know of any other films that are available on You Tube or similar?

Thanks

Interesting Bruce Hart/Flashpoint flextail for sale on Ebay. Looks to have a stringer right through the tail so I wonder how much the tail would flex.

Any thoughts?

I see that Neil has moved to Bryon Bay from Phillip Island.
Does anyone know whether he'll be still be shaping boards?
For Island Surfboards?
To order a custom board how can he be contacted?

I'm looking to get a new wetsuit, I'm currently using a 3/2 Ripcurl steamer and I have usually used their product but I was thinking of getting something different partially because of the claims being made by some wetsuit manufactures of the superiority of the Yamamoto Japanese neoprene i.e. greate...

I got Neil to shape me one about 8 months ago, mine has the Future Fins vector/hatchet set up and I have found the board to be an excellent all round board. I have found it to go well in all conditions but the outstanding property that it has is its hold while retaining loseness. Every other board I...

I was wondering where you were with this board re its development?

Any newer thoughts or developments?

Thought this would be of interest. www.nevsurfboards.com The Co. plans to supply boards which are lighter, stronger, and greener. According to an interview with Nev Hyman they are looking to licence the technology to other board manufactures who will use the technology to make cutom boards. Any thou...

I would be interested to know what people thought about using this construction method to build a kneeboard?

Check out the flextail fish designs shaped for ex pro Derek Hynd.

I have had a similar experience with Island and Neil.My kneeboard originally had glassed in fins, Neil later recommended putting in FCS fin boxes to get greater flexibility with the choice of fins.Not only did he put the boxes in for a good price he also gave me a discount for the fins that were rem...

Dorje I just bought a secondhand Flashpoint 5' 10 1/2" x 24' rounded pin with subtle flyer.I have only had the board in the water a couple of times so I'm no expert on fin set ups. I spoke to a number of people, including Bruce Hart, and his recommendation was Al Merrick/GAM with GX centre and ...

I thought the group might be interested in seeing some pictures and comments on Neil's boards.

Yes I agree, full flex is the way to go but there are problems with this design to do with floatation, strength of the board etc.In the real world where waves are not often perfect and uncrowded the Crozier slab was probably a reasonable compromise, at the time.It provided floatation but still had a...

There has been alot of discussion in this forum on flex, in both boards and fins, and the advantages of it.Spoons have been pretty well covered but there hasn't been much discussion on the type of flextail slab board that Peter Craword used to ride which I would have thought would be a good compromi...
