The 19 foot 'Olo of the Sun'

[diggerdickson]

ive got to admit roy. I would love seeing you surf that at the points, just to see how it goes and surfs out there. Yourve got me interested, I dont think I would ever like to ride it but I can appreciate the work yourve done.

[mustkillmulloway]

i don't think roy fit in with the festival sell outs in noosa, just politely

but i do know a point...much further nth...i'd love try it on

cause if i lost it i wouldn't have strees i'd killed 200 as it washed in

[huie]

haa fong i have vivid memory of a day that bill massoud gave platty and myself a ride up there
on what could only be discribed as a memorial day i close my eyes and i can still see k p carving that place on those little round bottom boards (father of the link)
i am sure if roy rode that board up there he would get one right down to the lagoon and would rant as much as you would on the wave behind

to ride the hull up there on a good day will have no beter experience EVA


cheers fellas huie

Thanks for the kind thoughts, we'll see how we go if I sell one at the new price I'll definitely come for a visit, can't leave without the tribe though, and I'm not flying so that means cruise ship with a container of boards, ten kids, wife and a few nannies .. . . .

. .. but at least i won't be sculling your beer. . .

Noosa's tempting, an iconoclastic helmeted scumbag visitation perhaps ?

traveling in style roy

your boards aren't...imo...suited for noosa

but the point i speak off and huie fondly remembers

it would be insane fun, if , of course, i was up too the challange of riding it

it's not a board for everyone or everwhere....but indeed, is that not why u build them

maybe u could ship one over in parts, we could do a layby

u and tribe be welcome stay with us btw, gawd knows that be a mutual culture exchange

I want to but i can't

Thanks for the replies, and cheers MKM . .. regarding suitability for Noosa, the 12 foot Ghost will handle Noosa, and Burleigh as well, better than any mal

Here's the 13 inch fin taking shape ( roughly foiled ) only the fin above the cutaway facet will be in the water, the rest is just an oversized tab which will be trimmed later.

Tubercules will also be added tomorrow.

What a piece of crap !

[Roy_Stewart]

Lol at the tiny fin placed way up from the tail, perhaps they were trying to loosen the board up ?

:?

Anyway here's the progress on the olo of the sun:

Hatchy, do want to go first? Or can I?

Hatchy, do want to go first? Or can I?

No, no, no my good man allow me

Here's is the inspiration for Roy's fin



May need to get down to the doc for some penicillin though Roy me good mate, your gentlemens area is looking a wee bit spotty

[Roy_Stewart]

Everything I've said is true, however you have misquoted me so not everything which you claim that i've said is true.

I hope that helps.

[Roy_Stewart]

By the way the 19 footr olo of the sun is not designed for Chopes, I do however have a 12 footer which will do the job.

[Roy_Stewart]

Also your idea that people buy a design because it works better is largely incorrect.
