Discussing Roy's surfboard designs.

Doug, Doug, Doug !!!

 

doug i think you're holding back here. i think it might be helpful if you let it all out and let him
know exactly how you feel.

 

Try before you buy; know before you go, lol:

I think Roy, you maybe got too hungup on your own design. I do like that you are making these boards in foam from an exploratory point of view. Maybe try putting your efforts towards a new design. Standing only n the "sweet spot" goes against everything a surfer is about. A surfer needs freedom on the board, not unbreakable rules.

 

Not exactly a glowing review

 

But that's what makes the designs different, riding from a sweet spot and defying the foiled profile dogma of surf design. Fukin far out. Plus some wild fins.. Haters be haters and don't represent real opinion like Doug.

 

In Roy's defense rarrick fuked him hard with that shi ttty review. Your taking this review from a close minded guy who's been using surfboards of zero comparison his whole life then he jumps on the parallel profile olo and gives feedback that's hardly accurate. Rarrick is seen putting wax way back on the pin tail in that video. He clearly doesn't understand the olo central riding position nor does he try to ride it much different from his mal. Just notice the cross stepping and attempted tail pivot. He's a tard. Mahalo

 

Well Im not a hater of surfboard design. But lets be honest, the Roy million dollar monsters don't turn as well as traditional boards and certainly are not as maneuverable. I bet if Roy started working on something else with all the experience he has from his parallel profile boards he'd come up with something better...

 

I thought it was an honest review. I didn't feel any better or worse about Roy's board and I am 100% certain it did not impact sales of the board at all. I mean who the f is gonna buy a surfboard for 1.47 million dollars???

 

gnome asked RR to review the product. RR did so; RR had no agenda. It IS an honest review. Talk about shooting the messenger: lighten up chucka-bo-boo.

Two notes:
1. If it weren't for the Internet, no one would be plagued by gnome's rantings over his "superior surfboards." He'd be sitting in a sheep meadow planing his boards in blessed isolation.
2. When gnome asked Rarick to review his product, and RR did so, but the results weren't enthusiastic, all of a sudden the reviewer is a no-good, rat barstard, according to gnome & his trolls. That's when gnome starting posting his vitriol about RR. I mean.....really ...??

 

Well his big boards do turn well in my opinion but it's all defined by the rocker. Like my 10-9 makaha olo I built, it has wicked flat tail so yes it's not a hot dogger but Roy's circular (even) rocked boards hotdog like mad. The rocker and outline say it all. And the turning is not like that of a Malibu long board which can pivot and stall and nose ride. Either way the boards ride. Last week I was blessed with 14 seconds 4-6 feet and I surfed my Roy olo. It was a wise decision, mostly because I was the only man snagging the outside bombs then making it all the way to the inside bowl section. Far out

 

But RR can't ride the 13 foot olo correctly I know this by watching the flick lol. This rarrick thing is old now some one should take the video down for the libelous statements that it is. Calling the fin a rudder is so stupid it makes me cringe and very upset inside. Rarrick the surf industry face will have his influences.

 

Ive talked to other people who rode Stewart boards and the kindest words they could muster were 'awkward' and 'difficult'

this fits as when I watched vids of the boards in action under Roy's piloting (license needed?) I see a constipated astronaut trying to maintain speed and stay in the pocket, looks pretty awkward

NOW PLEASE LET THIS THREAD DIE

 

I'm interested to hear more about the matrix quiver either way so lets not make the thread die

 

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahah. Hawaiian mafia? That's a good one. Let's hear another.
