    Meth ? Right. I actually like it so much I'm building another identical board for my twin brother. Yankee I wish I could surf at your spot I would roll out there with my brother on our 11 ft 'grown a$$ man' surfboards and utterly humiliate you.

    But more talk on the physics of surfing. What do you mean by not Being able to angle it ? Like once I drop in all I can do is go straight into white water ? Well if that's what you mean then look closer at the marginal shoulder high swells I'm cursing.
    FYI I will have this out in over head winter swells and I will have pictures to prove it. Good luck yank.

    2 things
    1) I didnt see a turn, even the loggiest of logs can cut back to enable rider to be in more critical part of wave
    2) christ on the cross, you have a twin?

    Make it stop I hardly want to reply to you but here it goes.
    1) the board turns fine. It's 11 ft it's not going to act like your longboard.
    2) yes I have an identical twin. And yes it's hard for some to believe. We aren't monsters we just like to surf some Maine waves and have a good time. And build some cool boards in the off hours.
    3)please be more specific in how you can't see evidence of a turn. A video would be more proving but I'm sure the picture shows that it can turn.
    4) change your user name and report back.

    Sincerely yours
    -Charles T

    It paddles in, takes off, and angles in quite pleasantly. It's a mega wave catcher too.

    all of those pics do not demonstrate a turn, they are unidirectional, down the line, which is commendable.

    and I disagree on the monster part, yall sonic boom each others ears?

    I cant believe the depths you go here, but its all good

    Well ya dude it's not for drastic turning I'll admit that all day but it can turn I swear. You just gotta sink that displacement pintail and send a rail and that baby turns. The turning and handling is still very new to me but I'm very intrigued by the characteristics of it vs a typical long board shape. If your someone who likes long boarding you would enjoy this board I swear ! That's if your willing to give up nose riding and the cross stepping techniques which go into Malibu shapes. I love malibous too hear me out on that please. I do however hate short boards and pretty much anything that I can't easily catch unbroken swells with. If you like to catch unbroken swells and cruise nice and easy but still sling big surf the Roy style is for you. If not that's cool too.

    Surfing no matter what is great as long as you catch waves and have fun that's all that matters. I'm still convinced that this shape board is worthy of more respect and attention from surfers.

    I like it all homie, bodysurfing, paipo, shortboard all the way to canoe, however, the board reminds me of a big wave gun with a clown nose. I cant help but be skeptical, and the other thing, while it may be a great shape according to some, it seems like in anything less than perfect surf would render it ineffective while other surfcraft can thrive in shee-it conditions.

    If it was true genius, I reckon it would have been more widespread. bad ideas die and good ones prosper

    Chucka-boo-boo!

    Play nice. Stop instigating. Share your cookies. Don't terrorize the other kids. Don't threaten them with latex dummy ear slaps, followed by your cheeks-lubin' dawg. And for the luv of hayzus keerist, don't break out your plywood-luvin twin when he's finished with your smoke stack woman. After all.....twins....how could she tell the difference?

    Whoa, whoa, whoa! We don't really need to know the answer to that!

    Actually the reverse is the case, the type thrives in ragged, bumpy, or otherwise weird conditions, to the point where it is often the only board in the water able to make waves successfully.

    The reason why I keep making them is that they work better as wave making utensils than the industry offerings, all of which are handicapped by trick surfing requirements or other anomalies.

    Incorrect the tail shape makes 'angling in' a breeze in any situation.

    That is one of the important advantages which the board has over the malibu type.

    Dude, stop. Anything RS has said or will say is already all over the forum search and educate yourself but don't walk this path.

    Or do. It's always good for a laugh.

    Just complete BS. With a 9'+ LB, I can catch any choppy or small wave. I have caught ankle high ripples on a cheap, dented up, POS East Coast LB. Any surfer that has any experience should be able to do the same. It is not possible that your board would be the ONLY one that could catch the wave.
