In regards to shapes I personally think that volume and thickness is important.

Haha...Thats what she said!

If it is glassy and not choppy (especially in the summer NE'rs) then maybe I'd be ok on the 8'6". Any chance of a board at about 28 and a half?

But Redfezz, as you say these could be purely for the hard core/pro level SUPers.



Ben,
You hit the nail on the head, when is it ever not windy on the south coast of NSW ?. The tides ,swell and wind aline ,a couple times a yr, its not like we get trade winds for 6 months then travel to the other side of the island for the next six months. Unless you have a quiver of several boards ,The average SUPer sacrifices performance for versatility .
I myself am looking to upgrade and I,m in two minds get the board that I know I can surf well or get a larger board in the same model that has a bit more stability and can handle the chop better.I talking about the Hokua 9.5 vs 9.10 ,I know I could do the 9.5 or even 9 ft but it would be hard work and not enjoyable.
So it just depends what market Tha Dogman is aiming for.........by the sounds of it very elite performance end of market.
cheers
Red

hi red

your right...

with all the boards out there getting around in the 9 to 10ft range it would be hard to crack the stereotypical brands like naish starboard or fanatic and be able to compete

that is where 95% of the surf style board sales are....true!!!!!!!

looking at it from the outside I'm sort of aiming towards a more "elite" market, as you could put it but also trying to step over and create an overlap into "that other" market via scaling up into the super sizes 9'3, 9'6 but still having the same rocker, outline shape and concaves as my weapons of mass destruction have.

first thing i gotta do is save up my little lunch money... to buy a sh1t load of blanks to make sure most of these size options actually work...

anyone got any ideas on making a body suit for 30kg or so

need it to put on and test out the 120kg+ 9'6 x 30 titanic model

maybe a sumo suit filled with concrete

that sounds like some serious training involved with that one dean

but a challenge i think i could handle

funniest sh1t eva...........im now poodle frothing on the floor

This Poodle is frothing over the new 8-2 x 28 x 3-3/4 concaved nosed doubled channel V bottomed reversered railed octofinned bamaboo banana finned concept board with blutack deck grip. Dogmans Bitch......Ca Plane Pour Moi...

NiteHawk Google translataion :-
Hello Dogman , how was the breakfast today.You speak through your bottom because you seem to speak loudly out of your mouth. Your comment shows that you are confused.Give to your poodle a good frothing, you will feel better.Cheers big fella.

Send a proto to me at 110kg i can give good feedback

Bonjour mon ami, yes I was part of Jacques Cousteau dive team in the Nual Atoll placing the nuclear devices in the virgin reef system , to shape the reef for better surf spots.

Your were there too?I remember that device,
it was called "The Atomic Virgin Converter",Because it ficked everything first time.
That would explain your sudden hair loss.

Tx Piros, this guy does not bother me because he seems to be on that topic to show off he is speaking something else than French.
Night Hawk please come back on the Dogman topic's subject " your inner secret" .
Not your dick one

Hey dogman,

Start at 8'0" go up by 6" increments to 10'0".

Got tail whipped by a whaler or bull at greenies last week.

Like to catch up for a session at minnie or where ever. Keala is in market for fly weight wave board.

Okay Kami,I'll say something that's as close the subject of the topic as I dare to go.
Have you seen any vids of the Dogman Sup surfing?If you haven't,from what I've seen he does it pretty well.

He doesn't look like a skinny dude but that doesn't stop him from paddling around standing up and shredding the kilt out of waves on what you referred to as a
"RAS rowing assisted surboard", or SAP "Surboard addicted paddling".
(If that is supposed to be a joke please use a smiley face at the end of the sentence,thats what they're for.Because I think I may have misanderstood you.)

I guessing that he probably rides the boards he does because it enables him to do the kind of surfing he so desires in his minds eye.
Which I believe is high performance.
SUP surfing is about surfing a wave(hence the surfing part).If there is a trade off to be made to necessitate a better Sup "surfboard" then whatever it is,do it.
You don't get high performance from something without pushing the boundaries of design.So I think making a board designed for Joe Blogg thats in the middle of the road isn't doing "High Performance" any justice.
He may as well call it the "Joe Blogg Cat Funt Model"
I believe the Dogmans designs are on the right track.I going to trust that he knows what he's doing.

If you're worried that the board won't float you or be unstable when you're not on a wave,then get your priorities right.
1st:Loose some weight ya cat funt!
Imagine all the extra activities you could accomplish.
2nd:Practise,when practising you will gradually surf better because you are no-longer riding a cruise liner.

Sorry if I have offended anybody with my "cat funt" remake.
That was not my intention,for I am also a cat funt,but trapped in a ckin sunts body.
Plus it's Kami's fault for wanting me to stick to the topic
Good day...

Oui, c'est ça. Maybe you,nitehawk and me could have a surf together sometime. Would love
to see if one of your shapes would float me.

Nitehawk, yours is probably too small for me because even after some serious poodle frothing,
my collection of cruise liners are the only vessels I've found to support my non-primal carcass in
it's search of sup fun. Weakness for beignets I guess.

I will take the 8 x 27 thanks I've been waitin for surf tech too bring out a smaller high performance board

Ps Dogman,

exibit A
feather weight max 75-80kg 85L 8'0 x 27
middle weight max 85-90kg 95L 8'6 x 27
heavy weight max 110-115kg 125L 8'10 x 31

This is bit optomistic for your average punter. Add 10 l of vol to each. I am 93 Kg and 110-120L is good for 8'6"

Hi Paul

i haven't been over your way lately

but might come over when the next swell hits

thanks for your input
