those ones of Machados look like chined rails on steroids but the Greenough edge concept is basically two separate planing surfaces with a clear and distinct edge between them.

Greenough gets such credit for design concepts with Lis but kneelos get short thrift, did the body board kill the kneelo?

.....besides that , Uki pub is a fine place for a drink or two - and if you can carry one of the thunder eggs from out the back to the bar , you can drink for free all night !..... you can also see some of the best live underground music in the world out in the "Western suburbs of the North Coast , from Murwillumbah to Nimbin and beyond.....I miss the moondances from days of yore.

Re Uki pub.
The rebuilding of the new Uki pub is almost complete, drove past yesterday, noticed beautifully crafted sandstone steps at the front that lead up to the verandah where you can sit with a cold one in summer and listen to the millions of screaming fruit bats.
Camel toeing tow truck service is just across the road, if your car breaks down.

Liked Mccoy's comments on parasite developers and Mac Tavish for citing Burch and Knost. A lot of older shapers have this "Hmph I did (insert new design idea) in 1962" schtick. Good to see Bob is still learning.

Uki Pub: remember playing a game of pool in there and all the old locals coming to stare.
Pulled up in a Combi. As we got out the alcoholic old tart who ran the show ran out and said," I saw you take those glasses."
We went, "we're just coming in."
She went,"Happy New Year."and walked back in.
Note: it was early January but not that early January.
