Re: Ask Carroll

Hey Nick,
Why aren't asymmetrical surfboards more popular?
Do you think there's any benefit to be had in everyday boards by having different tail shapes and fin setups in each side to suit backside VS frontside surfing?

Re: Fresh Stuff this week At Diverse

Are the corktops just normal Dynocores with a thin layer laminated to the finished board? Or is is a whole different lamination process?

Can you get a standard Dyno cork topped?

Re: Fresh Stuff this week At Diverse

Dave, I know those deck channels you do along the rails of the Dynocores are to add strength - do they reduce the flex?

Re: Tavarua in January.

Going over next week to stay at Malolo. Where can I get an idea of conditions while over there? MSW? As an intermediate level surfer (who surfs mostly beachies) are there breaks I should avoid even when around 5ft?

Re: show us your easter eggs...

How do these guys do that kind of 'resin dipped' glassing?
Is it black resin applied to the tail of the board on the foam - then laminated over with translucent blue tinted resin?

Re: SLX compared to PU

Im really impressed with Diverse's new Dynocore eps/epoxy boards that use Innegra. I demoed a Broad bean model twice and it was light, super responsive (flex) and strong.

Re: FCS Quads - What are you using ?

Whats the deal with FCS quad sets?
I've just snapped a rear SF4 fin from my FCS Stretch set.
Does anyone know where I can get that one replacement fin rather than having to buy a whole new set of four?
