Explained my way ... The concave to vee creates a flatter (straighter) rocker line along the stringer, and as the vee comes in, the rails are in effected 'lifted up' creating more curve in that last section of the rail line ... it creates that extra little bit of 'kick' at the tail without affectin...

Well I can only explain from my own point if view. Think of it as a mini see saw in the very back of the board. So as an example it allows you to leverage your board say into a more vertical attack a split fraction quicker, say when coming out of a bottom turn. At least that is my own experience. S...

I've always thought that there is less need for Vee off the back when you have a rounded pin or round tail myself , however it just adds a bit more sensitivity rail to rail and water release off the tail. Bit of vee through the fins can help add a centre point to a quad but in this case it was off ...

I've often thought a bit of vee in the tail helps overcome some of the shortcomings with quads. i think what you lose in drive, you gain with the extra side fin.

righto. cheers natho

Was lucky enough to get to have a good look at one of Kelly's quads that he has been riding today . Back fins were set in closer to the stringer. I got the actual measurements but just don't have them in front of me now. The double through the fins was fairly pronounced for obvious reasons. The spi...

Interesting article on The Inertia today about recent events at Nazare - Blood on our Hands: Maya Gabeira, Mortality, and the Perversity of Big Wave Surfing . For those who aren't aware, big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira had a close brush with death. I don't have much time to present my views at the mome...

Funny that World Surfaris were opposing the privatisation of sultans and honkeys. Privatisation is only bad when you're missing out on the $$$, so it seems.

This wholr privatisation business puts me off going to the Maldives. Locking the locals out. What kind of arse-fcukery is that?!

Cheers Don

Interesting interview. As someone who's also found socialising difficult, I would have to say this idea that everyone should be find socialising easy is one of the more toxic ideas commonly held by the general public. Certain people find socialising difficult for a range of reasons and they shouldn'...

Been interested in heading over to the Maldives for a few years but, to be honest, have been put off by the 'big resort' style accommodation options on many of the islands and the crowds in the surf. I know there are a number of charter operators in the area but haven't done a boat trip before and a...
