    Furnish notarized and legally documented proof of your million dollar sale, otherwise it's a complete lie and internet scam. How else are we to take anything you post seriously?

    Your post contains a serious logical error, but feel free to take any post of mine light heartedly rather than seriously.

    tell people what you do and take pictures of where you go constantly, otherwise its a complete lie and internet scam.

    Seriously though, who cares. Someone posts stuff about surfing, shaping, traveling and we call them fake. But when U2B blows his load on some random chicks couch we jump for joy and shower him with compliment. (no offense U2B... just using ya for example). By the way, you dont need to clarify why you do this on all of roys threads, it glaringly evident on the previous threads that hit 85 pages of people saying dumb shlt.

    At what point do we put differences aside and start discussion without antagonizing and creating some stupid azz thread, with 60 pages of childish bs

    Roy, I am having a hard time seeing the functionality of these mid lengths, the shapes seem clunky. What style of riding are you shaping these for?

    I would like to bring to all of your attention--you are sitting at a computer, basically wasting your time.
    Roy is making boards and participating in the world of surfing much more than those of you computer surfing.
    Envy gets you all exactly "nowhere".
    Nice job Roy!!

    while any handcrafted board is suite, this does not look like it has much functional usage.

    Is there any video of these round 8' shapes in action? Are they shaped for a specific wave or surfer? From my perspective it looks like it would be hard to set a rail on a hard bottom turn or trim a high line on a steep face. Not pooping on your show but please get a proficient surfer (not a beginner or intermediately skilled rider) on one so we can see how they slide. I'm sure you know some local shredmeister down there, doesn't have to be a pro. On a good fast overhead bowling wave, not those boring and slow mush burgers at Raglan. A great surfer can figure out any shape so it would be fun and interesting to watch. I love to watch wakes and lines drawn on out of the ordinary shapes and yours definitely qualify. Get a stig on one and let him (or her) mat the pedal and see what she will do. And please record it for examination.

    I don't have to worry about selling boards these days, so I'm just enjoying making what I like, adding to my collection and doing a few for friends and family.

    It's a nice position to be in because it doesn't matter if I spend more time than would be financially sensible finishing them by hand.

    The boards don't have to please Swellers in general either, they are just something for them to check out.

    You'd probably have to handle them to get a feel for their size and shape, both boards are only 1 & 13/16" thick with a very thin rail.

    Rocker is low with a light single concave, they'll go fast, and carve.

    Thanks Barry, I think that you hit the nail on the head there pretty squarely.

    I have no idea why you see that so can't answer.

    The boards are designed to cruise, on whatever they are presented to. Raglan will do me fine thanks, the waves are faster than you might think.
