Just general surfing stuff

[steve shearer]

I doubt even Cranked would have the chutzpah to walk down the surf with one of those things under his arm.........

Beery I hear you. Bu tI'm going to keep specialising and understanding quiver......when I get to 60 or so I'm going to go to a one board quiver. Something like a DVS all rounder between 7'6" and 8'0".

It's a great idea when you're surfing heaps I reckon, try different boards. When you're not though, a simple board works well. Just checking out the Webster site. Stubby in big guy dims looks nice

[steve shearer]

seen lots of guys surfing really well on those stubbies.

Looks a lot like a grant miller board. Not exactly but close. Or miller boards look a lot like the stubby

not implying copying in any way, only that there seems to be a bit of convergence as to suitable shapes and sizes for bigger and/or older types

I like this custom from my LBS in Perth.



Great balance in that shape. I had a feel of it before I left Perth. I would go for 2+1 boxes though. It could be my token poly board.

It's worth it just to get Steve off your back, Cranky.

The quality has though..

[steve shearer]

nah, go the tuflite mal.

no more attractive piece of surf equipment around today.

It just screams quality and competence when you see someone with one under the arm.

[crabmeat thompson]

I'll let you two afficianados talk amoungst yourselves

[steve shearer]

I heard the museum of modern art is doing a retrospective exhibition of surf art with Surftechs as the feature artifact. Will you be attending Cranked?

Sure it was the 'modern art' museum?

[Cranked]

Thanks for this opportunity steve. As you know, I was asked to curate this exhibition.

“Perhaps more than anyone else Randy French has been responsible for the growth and development of surfing. Randy can best be described as surfing’s Thomas Edison,” wrote surf journalist Drew Kampion in SURFWIRE.

“Randy has put more people in the water than have all the Baptist ministers in the states of Georgia, Alabama and the seven southern counties of South Carolina” cracked Patrick McNulty in West Magazine.

In the early 1980s when Randy began building surfboards, PUPE was the predominant material, not content with the status quo, Randy developed a method of building boards that were lighter, stronger, and more responsive in the water. They revolutionized surfing."

But is it art? MoMA is pleased to present an anthology of these remarkable surf craft. Just like Duchamps placement of a urinal within the context of a public art gallery, these surfcraft are now free to resonate and act in this new context.

There is a certain melancholy grandeur in Steve's zeitgeist middle-class striving for meaning in the emptiness thru the consumption of the artisanal and the bespoke.
