This will be the last caffine induced thesis writing avoidance posting of the day. This seems counter intuitive but powerful and I'd like to discuss it. I've found that the safest place to be on a bre ... |

Most of my pain comes from my feet cramping in my flippers. I've decided that this isn't the fins being too tight, rather my feet being too weak. When I kick my foot rolls, my little toe and big toe a ... |

I was revisiting Rod's site and ran across this thread I started. I never posted photos because my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced, long gone now. I'm in Santa Cruz and kneeboarding mostly b ... |

Less belly, that sounds better to me. Flat = Fast is what I was always taught. Any ideas why they have the angled rails? The kick in the nose would help avoid the nose dive which can be really bad and ... |

After my last session I took the stinger home and glued it up and put another coat of varnish on the top and bottom. The glue didn't do the job. Most of one of the layers had released from the other a ... |

I'm curious how it worked. I would imagine that the loop fin would maintain it's characteristics whether the board was flat or on a rail. With the short distance from leading edge to trailing edge I w ... |

I got the Stinger wet today. We had a mixed up weak 3-4' windswell with sideshore winds. There were barrels out there and I wanted one. The first thing I have to say is that I love the ease of ducking ... |

Does anyone have any experience building semi-hollow wood/foam/wood sandwich boards? I've got an idea in mind but I'm wondering on the logistics.
