Hi Concrete, no it is a specialty. Sunova 6’4” Torpedo, Aussie designer and shaper, was one of the original FireWire innovators but has taken his tech differently across a wider range.

It suits me in my new river come kneeboarding quiver here in Europe, after dealing with cancer I have had to do my surfing differently, so back to the ancestors of short boards, the other board is my other Kneeboard! :lol:
BTW if you can get a Sunova they are good boards! :lol:

Did my first surf session under new rules. There were only 3 people out and there were waves but as I was telling the foil boarder who came out , you have to be in the right place at the right time. There were waves but infrequent and a strong current that rapidly sweeps you out of position. And I also told the foil boarder after he pointed out I was in the right place at the right time besides being in the right place at the right time you have to do the right thing too :) after I flubbed the wave I was in the right place for at the right time. LOL well I got some exercise and caught a wave or two. But it was really difficult surfing with a mask on............after the new edict from the mayor that we should all wear masks when we are out and about........just kidding no mask needed for surfing
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Thanks jaffa, your picture made me smile.

Greater Manchester Police have said there were 1,132 coronavirus related breaches between Saturday and Tuesday. That included 494 house parties - some with DJs, fireworks and bouncy castles – and 166 street parties!

The force also had to deal with 122 different groups gathering to play sports, 173 more gathering in parks and 112 incidents of anti-social behaviour and public disorder.

I will definitely think about this when I go out. Stay safe!


Friend of mine who is a serious runner (marathons and all- so spends a lot of time running) has decided that anyone else who can jog can’t have the virus. But she still hold her breath when running past people

Of course you know in Hawaii 6 foot social distancing spacing is called just a little more than 2 feet by Hawaiians :)
