Re: Roy Stuart Dragon 13-9 super surfboard emerges for its f
Thanks Steve,sometimes I search for surfing video clips of the 13 foot plus boards made by those people , there is very little and what's there confirms that the parallel railed ice cream stick shape is lousy for very long boards.steve shearer wrote:Looks epic Roy and I loved this : It is a surfboard which is capable of giving the traditional offerings in the segment – Frye, Cooper, Phillips, Wegener , Parmenter and their respective test riders sleepless nights."

Re: Roy Stuart Dragon 13-9 super surfboard emerges for its f
Who is doing parrellel rails out of those that you mentioned? all the longer equipment I have seen from that crew aren't? drawn out shapes indeed, but definitely not describable as "parrallel railed"
Not that many consider 13+ feet to be useful for much...
What are the KPI's for these boards you make Roy?

Re: Roy Stuart Dragon 13-9 super surfboard emerges for its f
I should have said 'relatively parallel'.

Your being too hard on yourself. You don't look rusty. The footage looks as crap as all your footage that you post.

ok boys, start posting footage of yourselves surfing. Judge not lest ye be judged. In my humble opinion I actually think he surfs ok considering the length of the board.

That's not a biblical quote.

I didn't put my last post in quotation marks it was simple paraphrasing.
Sue me, I'm agnostic.
You're just antagonistic.

It was incorrect paraphrasing as it in no way represents the meaning of the Biblical quote.Cuttlefish wrote:I didn't put my last post in quotation marks it was simple paraphrasing.

Would have thought with all your self-professed intellectual capacity you would have comprehended my drift.
Seems lateral thinking is not your forte after all.
You're not the messiah of surfboard scraping. You're just a naughty boy.
Oops....got that one wrong too?
The nightmare for the anal-retentive, obsessive compulsive continues....
Busy work being holier than thou...

Even if the quote had been correct it would still have been a non sequitur.
As for anal retentive, I shat out the BS industry long board paradigm some time last century, and now move freely.

Hi Loofy,
Yes it can be very good, new Year's day traditionally pumps. Best to forecast ahead of time for a specific swell though as trying to get lucky by showing up any time for a day or two is a gamble.
Crowds are often low on Christmas day and the following week unless it is really good as most people are pissed/hung over.

Now there's a good example of a non sequitur!Roy_Stewart wrote:Even if the quote had been correct it would still have been a non sequitur.

Re: Roy Stuart Dragon 13-9 super surfboard emerges for its f
Most swells in Raglan are from the South West, and they are the ones which have a nice long period too. Westerly swells are also ok North West not so good.loofy wrote:Thanks Roy... Thinking of doing maybe a campervan trip with my wife for a week or so early to mid Jan around the north of the north Island.
What swell does Raglan area tend to favour?
If I see you I will say hi and check out your board... think I should be able to recognise you
January is consistent on the North East coast as well, and it's easy to hop over East to West. Plenty of nice beachbreaks in the Bay of Plenty and coromandel. Are you short boarding?

Re: Roy Stuart Dragon 13-9 super surfboard emerges for its f
Here are a few more waves on the Dragon, from 12/12/12. I'm slowly getting used to the longer narrower board, and am enjoying the glide over flat sections and bursts of speed on steeper ones.
