Not a bad little vid, I wish more videos would show the surfer catching of the wave.

Nice vid. However was it just me or was there over 4 mins of music, but only 1min 19sec of action. :shrug:

I must say it doesnt lack any ability to stay on a wave , no matter how small it gets. Can I ask a stupid question? Whats the metallic looking disc at the front of the board?

It's a stainless steel vent, which is opened when the board is out of the water

Hey Roy, and I mean no disrespect by this, but do you have any videos of your boards being ridden by professionals? I think it would be a good marketing move to get some pro's to ride your board(s) and get some testimonials to further your boards

I'm not a believer in pro surfing, and so I don't want to support it.

I don't mean someone from pro surfing, just someone that can rip and showcase what the board can do.

I don't believe in 'ripping' either, and I'm already showing what the board can do.

Ripping is an outdated surfing prositution concept which I have no interest in, I design the boards to ride without fuss.

There's no shortage of herd animals following 'ripping' paradigm, so there's no need for me to pursue it. I never have.

By the way it's 'someone who can rip' not 'that can rip'.

The videos show the board working very well, and basically ruling the roost.

A few waves on the Earl from the 24th of December... beautiful weather and almost no one out on the entire beach on a holiday in a surf town with over 100,000 people and the busiest port in the country. Plenty of steps and chop on the wave to make life interesting.

I didn't think that it was as interesting as the others.

None of them are interesting, but it had the biggest wave. Was it because it presented you having difficulty (catching the wave, almost fell off)? :lol:
