Re: [kokua] Bill Thrailkill, you owe me a new surfboard

Aloha Mike,

Good to hear from you.     The board was built by Tyler, as a single fin, and I dropped the two extra boxes in some time after he had ridden it as a single.   I don't think I'd like to tackle a three box set, at one time.    Too much chance of a hiccup.   I also did a 2 + 1, glass ons in 1964.    It was interesting, but did not confir any advantages to the performance of a 9' 6'' 30 pound surfboard.   Too loose, by the then standards of performance.    I came up with this twin setup in 1970, though I didn't bother to put it into a board until 2000.    No one else had blundered onto the concept, so I put two more boxes into an existing board, and went surfing.   It changed a very good board, into an exceptional board.   Thank you for the kind words.
