Just in case someone didn't get it yet . . . .

The boards are constantly using their rails.

so does any board

That's reasonably correct, tell it to the person who asked whether my boards ever used their rails

The boards turn very well, in fact much better than malibus , but are designed to do so without fuss.

insert picture

You already have two pictures of one of my boards turning. Any time that a board is not heading at 90 degrees to the wave front it is turning, in fact boards turn most of the time when riding waves, including when going 'straight' in trim.

My boards are designed to turn with such ease that they don't make the typical moments of crisis and spray which you have become used to. Just like racing cars do their best without digging up the track or making smoke, so my boards turn without remarkable fuss.

[crabmeat thompson]

Are you serious Roy? Trimming across the face of a wave can be construed as a turn? What about a bottom turn? What about a turn off the lip? I can't quite tell if you're serious.

Can you make a bottom turns with your boards, and lay them on one rail to do so?

[Roy_Stewart]

height = vertical measurement

[crabmeat thompson]

This is the greatest thread on the internet. It has everything.

[mustkillmulloway]

every shaper makes some duds in the r&d cycle, thus i give u


the boards that roy rejected



thats about half a billion going up in smoke

p.s i was refering too the rugby roy

[Roy_Stewart]

show a picture of the board cutting back or coming hard off the bottom and taking a steep climb line up the face and turning and releasing off the lip!
then i'll open my ears and eyes to your claim that your boards turn better than longboards and malibus!
until then, it's chewbacca stapled to a log going fast in a trim line on a 3 foot wave and nothing else..

You completely missed the point again, by defining turning in the usual accent based terms.

Try a little harder to comprehend what i've written before you reply, and then we'll have a better discussion. You don't have to like what i write but unless you understand it you'll keep on arguing with yourself inside the restrictive bubble of your own preconceptions ( or to be more correct, those imposed on you by the industry )

now roy, how do u defend this isn't a shaper and his designs only as good as the waves he gets try em in :?

[crabmeat thompson]

The junk in Abbott's trunk is making me a little queasy.

[Roy_Stewart]

Yeah that picture is gross.

The incidence of spurious troll arguments has increased so I suspect that drunkenness?hangovers/brain damage is the cause.

I'll get back to you all when you recover.. . try fish oil.

[Roy_Stewart]

.. I'm mid face and the wave is at least 8 feet. Now you can do your 'outraged that anyone can call an 8ft high wave 8 feet high ' routine. In case you didn't know it the undercalling trend was started in Hawaii to feed misinformation to kooks about the size of the waves. . .. seems there are a lot of kooks these days who believed it !

It wasn't I who introduced the subject of wave height on this thread,....

Pardon? :?

I said I wasn't the one to introduce the subject of wave height.

longboards turn better than your boards

My boards are longboards, the ones you refer to are barely even longboards and turn poorly

your board suffer from too much nose rocker and create a lift and drag effect, and a flat rockered 10foot longboard would likely outrun your 20foot banana rockered boards)
longboards trim better than your boards

Absolute nonsense.

My boards regularly outrun flat rockered 10 footers, and you have completely failed to understand how the rockers on my boards work.

Typical flat rockered 10 foot malibus are very poor at turning while in trim, this affects their speed and wave making ability. That's just one of the reasons why they are such easy meat.

Roy defies gravity!

Dreaming is a prerequisite for brilliant success.

In a very small number of cases, yes. More generally though, it's a sign that points to the on-ramp of the Financial Ruination Freeway.

Can you give us a traffic report Roy?

[lessormore]

Roy was the inspiration for the shortboard revolution and the movie Going Vertical!

[mustkillmulloway]

Yeah that picture is gross.
