Of course Trev, excess resin is left deliberately and then sanded off.Trev wrote:^^^^

Heading to Oahu in Feb. Roy can you hook me up with 'that board' and I will take it out for a test ride? I will then post a report on realsurf for all to see with photos and all. Now don't tell me how I should surf it, or what state of mind I should be in to surf the fkrn thing. I will just ride it and then report back on my thoughts (not yours). Wadya think?
PS. you will need to organise a semi, air lift, crane or whatever is needed to get the thing down the beach coz I aint fkrn carrying it. But I will ride it for ya (as long as it floats/ paddles).
My last two carbon fibre/eps Dick Van Straalen boards have both had manually operated vent plugs.Legion wrote:Use two or three. And I wouldn't be surprised if Mr Gore had some sort of guarantee on their vents. Their outerwear does - lifetime guarantee against delamination. It delams, you send it back, Gore pays for a new jacket (independent of the outerwear manufacturer's guarantee).Roy_Stewart wrote:A goretex vent is certainly inadequate in terms of capacity for a board like the 13 footer, they are also insufficiently durable or reliable for a long term board tour in my opinion.
Thanks for the correction to my generalisation. I'll be sure in future to vet all my offhand forum comments for absolute precision.Roy_Stewart wrote:Saying that everyone else has been using them is also incorrect, many other vent options are used.Dickhead. I'd say it's a fair comment to say "the vast majority use GoreTex vents". I haven't even seen a manual vent offered for years. Who would choose a manual vent over an auto vent? The manual ones are a PITA, and promote more water being sucked in if you ding it.

onya natho!
Fair enough request from roy too, as long as he isn't asking for your banking details I reckon he just wants to know who's got the quarter million dollar stick in the event it isn't returned.
Roy, a mate of mine and his girl are going to Hawaii for a month in Jan. He's a "Morning of the Earth " type; loves the history of the sport , and alternative designs -- has built a few boards of his own.
Alright if I ask him if he wants to give it a go?
Sounds like he'd dig going to the bloke's place where you're keeping it too.
cheers.
