sycophants hey ??? seems you have a plethora of adjectives in your vocabulary ... :roll:

different people like different boards and different shapers.
most surfers think Simon Anderson makes very good boards.
quads are not liked by all , they arent the same as thrusters.
TMC uses big words

I seriously cant grasp why people cant accept the possibilty of a dud board (even if in the eyes of one surfer).

Name doenst mean every board will be amazing,,,

yes gumby, having a large vocabulary often denotes arogance.

Translation: use words that are big to sound smart means he is a dick

i think ( just by looking not feeling) simions board have lept forward in both quality and design since shake up of production staff at base

i mean u might have a killer shape

but it's only as good the last pair hands touch it :idea:

and it's fully a horses for courses thing

and some shapers just don't fit some surfers

and vice versa :?

Of course it is ok to admit that a board might not have worked Gumby but your mates topic is writing off Simons boards PERIOD.

So for me that makes him a f uckwit!

Simons boards are some of the best boards I have ever sold to Wanto :lol:

i believe he said he hated the boards, in reference to the two "dog shit boards" he had.

Bro is right,

this guy is writing off all of Simons boards so by that I assume he has surfed every board Simon has shaped. Now if he is saying he thinks every board Simon does is Sht then I assume this topic was posted by a total Kook.

No one is going to like all of Simons boards, and not every board is going to be shaped to your ability and likes. But to say all Simons boards are crap.... well I would think this person would find all boards crap and this is probably a result of him not knowing how to surf in general.

Now there was nothing in the post saying that this topic refers to Simon's Quads only. If that was the case then I would agree.

Dropped out of uni and started doing my ship building apprenticeship with larry. He convinced me that a university education is not a worthwhile pursuit, and my whole outlook on life has changed.

Every one can have an opinion but to voice it here and like that, you have only ridde 2 of his boards and he has made 2 million...narrow minded, uneducated and outspoken...Kelly's favourit board , 'Brown Beauty' was shaped by a crap shaper called Simon Anderson....instead of posting this dribble, why dont you just try another shaper but if you dont thik SA can make a board than I pitty whoever you go to next...Shape yourself a few boards, thats what you should do... :roll:
Just a thought MP,
did you have your spell-checker set to Egyptian when you wrote this?

What a lame fu(ken statement. And with appologies sg, unless this thread is a g-up, you must be a lame (unt as well.

"I fu(ked ya mum and ya sister, and they were both dog shit. Anyone had the same experience?"

Jesus mate, ya must have some car-isim-ma. You even have responses to the thread.

This thread is a load of horseshit. Go and watch some paint dry.
Charisma has an "H" mate.

and ringmaster, i know :lol:
