This is a very good watch. This is quite recent, because that T-Shirt has only been around for maybe 4 months... (I have one!)




PS - Lacey, I was doing some video research on your Lopez 14 footer, down-winder... Found Lopez talking about bob McTavish at Sunset Beach, "going vertical", and then found this one...

Nice informative video Simondo.....does this mean that Bob discourages people buying boards off him unless they come to Byron for a visit?

ps I really like the t-shirt ! Does Mac have one?

edit: re his volume comments - I agree with some of them but also disagree with some of his points....yes lots of things add to the buoyancy / floatation argument re width, length, concaves, materials, rocker etc but I think that volume is the number one dominating factor and the other items add complexity but their influence as a proportion is significantly less. e.g. a 25 litre board for a 75-80 kg person (roughly what the pros & Legion ride) can have a load of refinements but will not help to float someone who is 85-90kg comfortably. Sure it may help float someone who is 80-85 a bit better but not much more. Where as a board that was 35 or 40 litres would be significantly more beneficial for the surfer even if the rocker was not as friendly.

Flame suit on Can not believe I just call some bloke called Bob out online But I think you know what I mean.

Simondo that was a great find mate,if people start getting the sh1ts well its up to them to balance the forum.If anyone gets a chance to talk with Bob about boards,fins do it,he will tell it straight up and you will not get lost.

Ted to answer your question,YES of course

Yeah, it's a good video.

Volume: well you need a tiny bit above water, such at the nose/entry zone!

PS - if you ever get the chance to go somewhere like The Maldives with Bob, you won't forget it, for ever! You wont regret it either!

I enjoyed that don't know what to think about the volume throws my cruiser theory out the window
