Vote on Roy: Should he stay or should he go

Roy's whale fin concept isn't just in his use. There's a good read about it on swaylocks http://www.swaylocks.com/forums/blef-anyone-using
My conclusion of the whale bumps is that it might reduce drag but it's hard to quantify. They talk about it in the thread I just shared. Yes drawing concepts from nature is cool. Remember Icarus? He flew too high and as a result his wings melted.

Honestly, if all he did was build cool boards and post video riding them, he would be welcome on every forum. The fact that he can't communicate with tact in any post is probably a reason for the hate. If you feel like wasting time, you can read replies from the start. The ego is only a fraction of the issue.

 

Pleeeeeeese leave Roy Stuart alooooooone! He's really not that bad for a kiwi. Semi functional art is always cool to look at and sometimes even fun to ride. A small battery powered trolling motor would be helpful to getting up to speed, but his boards have way more soul than most surfboards I see.

 

I say who cares! He has more knowledge than 3/4 of the people here. If ya ask him he ll even pass some onto ya if ya ask. Do ya put vets out to pasture just cuz u feel their old. NO! Whether or not ya like him, who cares. He's here n will stay!

 

So you guess? where is the math. the proof is in the pudding and you numbskulls cant muster the mental gymnastics needed to demonstrate the proof of your wild ASSertations

 

eh, who cares

 

The claims are backed up by wind turbine science

 

Man, for someone who put on a display of sympathy searching....."That's it I'm leaving this site...."

it's in rather poor taste to call out whether someone should be "voted - off" of here.

I don't know much aboot Roy, as I stay away and respect youse guys' board threads, but everyone has the right to be on here. I'm an American and so is Roy, even though he's from a foreign land. This isn't some lame British surf predictin' site. This site is full of attitude and freedom - the way God intended surf predictin' sites to be. I give props to the powers that be in lightening the F up when it comes to un-American censorship and banishments. No one wins when people get banned or exiled.

Though Roy and those British people should cease trying to correct Americans spelling. English is OUR language, we invented it, and we damn well know how to spell it.

Thank you.....

 

Ego shmego, nuts shmuts... I'm into surfboards and surfing, all the rest is BS.

 

Very nice, RCarter.

It takes a real man, with full testicles, to do what you did in your last post. Very good. Very good to see that in today's society. Oh, how's the lifestyle change going? I'd give a bull's testie right now to get lit, but I have no resources to do so as of now. Funny how life is. One moment you got a fat sack in your pocket everyday and all the resources you can imagine, and then one day you don't.

Hey Roy, do youse guys in New Zealand have cannibus sativa?

And........RCarter, excellent idea. This site should and shall have threads questioning one's sanity. I totally dig it. RCarter, I'd be flattered if you would do a poll on whether or weather I am sane or not. I'd love to see what the people think. I'd do it to myself, as I do intercourse, but I don't know how......as in intercourse.

Thank you. And, I reckon I might, should, a start reading these surf board building forums. I didn't know Roy was a controversial figure.

And hey, is it just me......................or do any of youse guys get a creppy pedophile feeling when that dude, Wayne posts.................I don't know, but mentioning kids and vans in the same context kind of gives me the creeps.........and he seems so dedicated and focused on getting kids into the van........

I don't know.....maybe it's just me.........

 

Pjb the time I've spent in New Zealand which was on the south island in the Nelson lakes region and Marlborough sounds for a sailing voyage I met a man who's last name was Rankin. He mixed honey into his whiskey bottles and smoked all sorts of herbal substances. I'm willing to bet the sativa of which you mention is in high abundance in NZ going by my experience there. This Rankin fellow was an epic man. New Zealand honey is par none. Makuna is my favorite and it's great with whiskey.

 

Roy is delusional for thinking that his product is worth the prices he charges. Realistically, if his product was worth a sh*t, someone would be selling parallel profile boards to the masses at a reasonable price. Charles showed us that you can do it yourself, in your garage. Is a charles board worth $500000? If not, why not?

Also, charles, quit being such a weirdo about it. You have built yourself a nice surfboard. Go ride it. That should be the end. What else am I missing?

 

Roy should stay.

 

nonsense. what to the bumps do? catch air better to spin the turbine? why are there no bumps on the dozens of recently built windmills where I live?

those fins on a humpback whale are for directional changes, and not fast ones. turbines deal with propulsion. the fins also adjust cant/angle relative to the fusiform body, while those on a surfboard to not
the bumps may serve a myriad of purposes (sensory receptors, etc), increasing efficiency and allowing for dynamic water movement is just one possibility

NEED TO SEE MATH

its that simple

 

MIS your clearly sitting around in Darwin's waiting room awaiting your final chromosome. will I post an equation to you no. Read the swaylocks link I posted. It's about theory and the basic understanding of physics. After all your in Darwin's waiting room.
