Re: Josh Dowling Designs
http://www.darrenlunny.com/videos/its-all-about-the-board/ Our esteemed board builder may get a little embarrassed by this but Josh's boards are quite simply the best boards I have ever ridden and I have ridden close to maybe 100 over 25+ years of surfing. Grass roots and hardcore ....Given the work...

Re: Could this be better than surfing?
Yeah sorry mate, must have been in a bad mood yesterday. No apology required Nick...I said that with a hint of jest, a touch of sarcasm and just a few drop of sandal wood.

Re: Could this be better than surfing?

Re: Josh Dowling Designs
I will wait for his holiness to speak .. I've played with different wood, thicknesses of wood and tapering the wood off so there's less at the tail. JD If that is not one step before "cuming" out of the closet than I dont know what is. Seriously though...thats the good oil on flex....not flop (gee ...

Re: Josh Dowling Designs
Dunno bout you bodhi, but his perimeter stringers are sexy, and surf faarking great too!. If you do wide enough laps, you can go without a stringer on any foam I think, depending on foam density, pu, or eps. I may be.mistaken though, its saturday, and im stuffed after a 2hr plus surf, a day with 3 ...

Re: Broken Board. Is it forever rooted?????
Thanks again, I'll be having a good think about it. Maybe ill just cut my losses and get someone around here to make me another one. Certainly can't afford to buy a newy from TF Tiger, its 6 oz on bottom and 4 oz + 6 oz on deck. If you want real value for money get a JD. Sure it will cost you a cou...
