apples and orange xx w t fxxxxxxx

yeah i have a problem that a HPSB cant be built for people that weigh over 70 kilos and are taller then 5 foot 8 and that a blank labled 2 pound density calculated at 1.5 .

i rekon surfding is so rockanroll man

?

i rekon the result will be that the poly will work better 4ft plus and better in onshores, fluid reliable and positive

i rekon the eps will work better 1 to 2 foot beachie and be twitchy. and pearl a bit on late drops

i also think that in clears glass the poly will look similar but more air in the epoxy lam if laminated with the same technique

im basically live to ride mate. snowboard all winter surf all summer. wag it , chuck sikies whatever man. if its firing within 100 miles im there. money is a means to an end . i cant stand crowds either so cold and bigish is better. no booze or drugs . just the ride man

ixps is great foam for a surfboard but definately has delam issues. easily solved i hope

Left to right: Bud Lamas (Mayor of Huntington Beach), Brett Simpson (2009 US OPEN CHAMPION), Shaun Ward (PRO SURFER)

Brett going off to complete his first year on the WCT Dream Tour. Huntington Beach (Sponsered by HURLEY) Threw a big party celibrating one of our own making the dream. Surfing is a very important part of life where I grew up. Seeing the kids take it to a new level is pretty awesome. The kids live to surf and surf to live.

What does this have do do with Apples and Oranges?

Yellow will be the ride AND durability winner hands down. Not sure this is much of a contest.

Which makes me wonder why people are so emotional about this particular experiment.

The clear LOSER is anyone with an agenda to go back to the days of CLARK FOAM style MONOPOLY.

...I understand the intention of Huie

but this have been derivated in somewhat like a chat

so, talking about everything,

I m here thinking in the only ones who made the money with the surfboards (pun intended)...the surfwear companies

and making money selling UGLY (most) designed clothes

plus, skateboard inspired

awful and useless (to ride) bermudas (too long and thick)

horrendous art stamped on cotton clothes, etc

remember those "funny" sneakers that were the max few years ago

looked like the crash cars games in the fun fairs

what happend with a "man style"?

may be we all want to be the eternal kid...

You had delam issues?

haha yes i finished the blank to fine scree and tinted it black so i could see whats going on when i thrash the shit out of it, and it has been thrashed . so its getting fried in the sun and car had about quality 100 waves on it already, the thing is strong, no dents very light. i will do a clear machine cut one next with A LIGHTER single 4 oz all over rough finished blank using my compsand glassing technique. tinting epoxy black reveals many things IMO

yes marko is available here

hey reverb how about a t shirt that says " CARPARK OPPORTUNITY"

Jan 2010 - ordinary ability, late drop, lightweight chip, EPS core

sequence photo of same wave - I made it no problem

Reverb, mate. You really need to hang out in Australia for a while, I reckon you would really fit in nicely.

I Love me Apples!

lovely juicy wave J and good surfing. but not late drop

late drop as in whitewater breaking over your head . pigdog under a freefall lip on backhand and angled drop into a big hollow forehand one. or freefall out of lip

ok, lets call it on the late side of early

That looks like a delicious orangepple!

Cryptic and vague is my specialty....

But seriously, read this: http://www2.swaylocks.com/forums/surfblanks-yellow-vs-marko-2lb-e-ps

This thread is for side comments on that one.

And for crafty to have fun....

I want to point out the guy straight inside Mr J - Doing the right thing and paddling towards the white water/out of the freakin' way...

Correct me if I'm wrong - That is how is "should" work, right?  I only make this point because of hard feelings based on, what I would call, "misunderstandings" around who has the right of way in this type of situation.

Taylor, good point that several people haven't learned yet. More common courtesy than anything.

Not really sure who has the actual right of way, but by all experience it should be the guy on the wave. Some guys just don't realise what sort of danger they are putting themselves in, and you, by getting in the way just because they are trying to avoid a pounding......wusses.

I've run over few in my day and I'm not aggressive, but they deserved it. The person on the wave, particularly in a more critical situation, has more to worry about than some idiot paddling in front of him.

Get out of the way or get out of the water. Again, I'm not aggressive.

Mike is just confusing you.

however surfboards are very serious business and every thread on Swaylocks starts life as a potential train-wreck - this is a good one which was heading for what looked like a certain crash

However Silverbak rescued it from the brink of disaster with this thread

Sways is in good health right now.

Dam funny and rewarding.

Your all a bunch of crazy computer dorky nerds.... most of us should be doing better things with our time. And you know thats the truth!

yes I've done quite enough ahem measuring for one day. I think I'll leave the puter and go and watch The Wire on the TV now.

Hi MrJ

In the first diagram I tend to agree with your assessment on manners but I guarantee that with a mix of board lengths in most lineups, manners are sometimes (often) forgotten.  If Surfer B is on a shortboard in a mixed lineup, he might not have any other options.  I'd give it to Surfer B based on the age old rule that "Surfer closest to the curl has right of way."  I'm pretty much a longboarder - if I catch an outside wave and an inside shortboarder manages to take off behind me (closer to the curl), I give him the right of way and kick out.

In the second diagram, I see a situation that is more commonly referred to as "Jockeying for position."  Again, Surfer B gets the nod for being closest to the curl.  It may have been because of his aggresive jockeying for position but that's what jockeying for position is all about.  Except in contests where there is sometimes a priority buoy in place, jockeying for position is always going on.  Again "Surfer closest to the curl has right of way."

I'm not saying it's set in stone but nearly as far back as I can remember "Snaking" has been referred to as taking off in front of the surfer who is up, riding, and closer to the breaking part of the wave.  There are situations where it may be permissable, like when there is a section that the surfer in priority position isn't going to make in a million years or when the surfer in priority position calls you in = "Party Wave!"

While we're on the subject of priority and etiquette, what about the situation of various board lengths in the lineup where one surfer (typically on a longer board) gets to his feet first?  I've heard it said that "First surfer to his feet has priority."  I've argued that it's still the surfer closest to the breaking part of wave who has priority.  Again, longboarders are at too much of an advantage in that case and the shortboarders would be left with scraps.

Bottom line is that in many crowded lineups, it's dog eat dog with few obeying any sort of rules.
