I believe the whole range is now designed by the long time Torquay shaper Kym Thompson (Watercooled). They have improved hugely over the last few years.

You're over estimating the intelligence of the average Realsurfer there 8

Perhaps there was a major trauma in Nick's life, he doesn't need certain references that trigger emotional turmoil.

Thanks Nick, I'll see how it goes.

McCoy! CONCAVE! How very dare you! Nah Legion, its the Wilkes, 6'6, 20.5, 16" tail, about 43l But the question wasn't about a specific board but boards in general with a single deep concave. For instance, Wilkes reckon they track a bit, so recommends smaller fins, especially in the base Ditto on the...

Sorry MrMic, but you're going to hate me. I've owned four Surftech 7'11'' single fins over the last 10 years, the most recent about 4 months ago. Even took one to Indo and surfed good waves on it. They've always been disappointing, for me they offer a very restricted performance subset of a McCoy th...

LMGIFY Imprisonment in the cave Socrates begins by asking Glaucon to imagine a cave where people have been imprisoned from childhood. These prisoners are chained so that their legs and necks are fixed, forcing them to gaze at the wall in front of them and not look around at the cave, each other, or ...

If Plato and the whole fcukin' pantheon of greek philosophers had a bunch of Realsurfers for colleagues human thought as we know it would never have progressed beyond simple pagan beliefs. WTF could this bunch do with Plato's Cave Allegory? Its a frightening thought!
