Good idea really, but in regard to the concaves his website does emphasise thats what he was doing in the early 80s.

We need Nic to comment on this, he was deeply involved with TF at the time

yes, he was doing concaves as influenced by Brewer who had concaves since the 70's.

A tufflite lazer zap. But that's not at all a retro rehash.

I'd pay $100 for it. Looks like a boring board though.

I thought GSTQ rode a custom weekend warrior with EPS foam recycled from council estates, fair trade balsa rails sourced from Ecuadorean peasants and a spray done by a lesbian art school student who sings opera.

Couple of years ago I was out at good Bungan and one of TF's sons (Liam or Kye) was surfing a Drifta, he was ripping the guts out of good 5/6 ft waves. Watching power surfing like that was pretty damn impressive.

That's just how they talk.

Old outlines with modern contours work great, based on my experience.
