he sure did!

Thanks mate, I am 77kg so will give the current twins a go and will stay in touch to see the new twins when they arrive . Appreciate your help 😜

thanks Phil. already working on a new project withAdam and the filmmakers. some rocker experiments with the exact same plan shape and bottom concaves but with three different levels of rocker. Significant differences so that they are totally visual just looking at them and then surface will be able to interpret and understand the effect of rocker much better than if it is just a one off experiment that is radical. Even though it still indicates quite a lot, still better to have a progressive variation in one element to make it even more understandable

A thousand thanks, mate. Am trying to find work possible for me to do at this point in life, partially in order to pay for new custom surfboards from you, JC, JS, Rusty, Byrning Spears 6 channel bottoms and channel islands, Want to get a Simon Anderson quiver, CI, and maybe Clayton N. as well as a bump squash handshape from young F. Oberholzer when occasion and circumstances permit. Only thing I have now mate is my education and my dole card. Cheers!

@@gregwebberworld Champion.

That will be quite a collection!

@@gregwebberworld G'day Mate; the sweet science and experimental fun for you and your Crew being able to surf Australian top rank spots are to me enviable. Want to purchase a dozen custom surfboards from you all the way from short ultra light boards PU and avant garde, up to the minute material made grovel boards for ripping pools and gutless slop, s 6'6" RP, 6"8" RP and 7' pin Indo quiver as well as several 6'6" bump squashtails . Will try to earn the money to pay for these ASAP & will try to get some shots of me going as hard as I can here. Cheers!

no obligation on the orange!

@@gregwebberworld Been enjoying a coffee & pecan shortbread lark in me scone; 1994 watching a 7'4" Webber pintail ripping, attacking the 12' lip like it's a small beachie; Periscopes Camp; bloke looked like Shane Herring? Whaddya reckon?

thanks Phil! sorry mate but i’ve got way too much on my plate as it is. two big projects taking forever to complete and effectively broke trying to fund them out of surfboard money

Not that I know of.

thanks, i’m looking into it. got plenty of odd craft made already but some i’ve not made yet.

same here. such polite young men as well

thanks Shaun, and great timing with your comment I just sent a file to Trinko last week (on the North Shore) that is I think 16 1/2 inches wide with double concave deck and bottom. He’s going to cut it and Kelly and Ross. will have a look at it and hopefully try it out. But it’s thin, so might have to tow in to get it going. maybe I will do another one a bit longer and thicker so that it is paddle-able. totally agree with BK back then. And I’m guessing that pipe board of yours with the orange deck was a bit narrower than usual

Shaun Tomson messaged me about BK on 17”. did this a week ago for KS and Ross to try. Tow.

yes it’s such a pity to not know at the time how good the board was. And are you saying that it had two steps in the bottom which aligned with the flyers? that’s a mad bit of work if that is the case

I can't remember now but they probably were. I have a vague recollection the steps formed a v too with each side at about 10 degrees off perpendicular/square. It was a nice bit of shaping. Especially for time. There must be some reason the design didn't take off but I never discovered it. @@gregwebberworld

@@zenmechano maybe look up ‘step bottom’ you might find a pic of something similar

thanks heaps for that mate. Very nice of you

Thanks! Will do!

sorry mate missed your message, still keen?

Let me know if you are still thinking about one of these scoop models. Just designed a 72 tonight which looks pretty bloody snazzy

no worries, Glen! and that is interesting that you do stop motion, clay motion, etc. My brother monty and I made a movie using a nicely damaged GI Joe, and we lost it, but we want to make another one one day. It was almost a fluke, how well it worked out and how comical it ended up being. It’s quite disgusting in someways, but poetic and beautiful in otherwise. Somehow, we mixed the subtlety and loneliness of the funny little man with his stiff movements with sick but understandable motives. A measure of its comedy level. Was that one of the guys from Bondi who watched it that no one had seen laugh before was crying laughing at the end of the film. Anyway, if you ever get interested in doingcommissioned projects I would do a storyboard and we could do it as a joint project

i’m on 0404822859 so if you are interested to have a chat about it, just text me and we can organise to have a meeting

what are you doing on the internet? don't you have a leaf to whisper to?

sure thing. it all went downhill when the first pre-human realised that the bone he used to bash a head or smash a nut was now a tool and lo and behold HE made it.

yes indeed. 16 ½” wide

thanks David I appreciate that too. It’s nice to get acknowledgement from other shapers, as you say they tend to be very tight with their knowledge, but the other thing is it is such a difficult craft to define even just the fundamentals when you start to talk about the relationship between the board or the fin and the dent or track that they both make in the water. Most board design theory relates to a change in shape and then the consequent change in performance, ok fine, but that misses the middle bit as to why or how that change happens. I think one of the key ways to analyse anything in boards is to compare the ratio between lift and grip. I’ll bet you’ve never heard that discussed in any design forum before! But I’m going to do a post on nat at some stage in the future

@@gregwebberworld love it look forward to hearing it. I'm playing alot with twinnys slight movements in fin placement 100% changes board drive and manoeuvrability! So many variables .....love it

cool! lots of fun

thanks Drew, i guess you must have a bit of that thinking yourself then. and i send them internationally anyway so let me know what you’re keen on when the time comes.

probably!

not sure what you mean edoardo

thanks heaps!

are you related to an ex pro surfer from the states? same surname

my pleasure mate

thanks !

not sure what you mean.

Okay now I’m getting you with the rocker guess and the post on Instagram is a fair way back. Message me on Instagram if you like

thanks mate!!
