A truly excellent piece of work. This improves my already high regard for Greg Webber's consummate surfboard building abilities and young Robbo's surfing and understanding of what makes a good surfboard go well in various surf. Cheers!
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 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!
Really enjoyable piece - Adam is a good power surfer passionate about his craft. Winki is a great venue - anything goes out there as we see - even a door. How about going super narrow my bru - BK was howling across Haleiwa in the 70s at 17". You wanna get rail to rail quick - go narrower. Thanks for putting the piece together - a nice change from life and death and multiple step slabs.
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
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
Interesting. Back in the 70's, when I was a grom, my first board (2nd hand) was a 6'6" pin nose/tail double flyer, 2 steps single fin ( also a bit narrower and thinner than boards of the time iirc). It had "Shivaya", a symbol and a Hare Krishna prayer on it. Made in Pt Leo but I can't remember the shaper although I think it might have been related to early Shady Hollow boards. I sold it to follow the herd and buy a twinny but the next time I rode a board that good was when thrusters came onto the scene. There was some magic in that board.
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

Recent creation with an old school feel. Great video
Masterful performance on all magic carpets.
Thanks for getting it out there Greg!

Shaun Tomson messaged me about BK on 17”. did this a week ago for KS and Ross to try. Tow.
Good on you Greg, nice to see this shared.
