So not an Evo but a Quad!
The one with the mini Tuttle box fins

Hoop, you don't even read previous posts.
I sincerely hope you are not a board shaper.

What , you mean the one where you said you have a surfboard on a wall in some shop somewhere?
Fantastic achievement LeeD, well done, really well done!

Nothing to you.
3 were hung up at the biggest shop N of LA, which carried 400+ surfboards and more than that in wetsuits. That's 400+ surfboards in the shop, all retail, at any given moment since 1989. That shop started in '68.
1 each in much smaller competing shops.
The fact my shapes were displayed in 3 different shops for over 35 years means something, but for you, means nothing.

Yes, correct. This means nothing to me.
You are just an abusive asshole with no credibility.
You bag out the best career designers and show nothing of your own.
You are merely just a sad little keyboard warrior .

I am done with this crap now. You LeeD, are just pure negativity and you squash creativity.
I will no longer respond to your antagonistic posts.

I'm happy to talk about board design and share ideas with anyone that has an open mind . It's how we all learn to make these things better.

Cheers, Hoops

People.
Nobody is beyond reproach.
I'm sure, out of my first 30 surfboards, I shaped 10 bad ones. Luckily, I had two good riders who could make almost any shape work. You can bet they railed on me for the bad ones.

I would hate to live in a world where gods and leaders are beyond reproach. Isn't that Hitler and Stalin, Mao and Putin?
I criticize Donald Trump, as does anyone with common sense in the US.
When Mistral came out with the Edge in '93, I was the first to tell Harold Iggy what a lemon that crap EDGE with ears was.
He said he did not shape the plug.
History confirmed the Edge was very fast, but would catch it's widepoint on almost any kind of aggressive jibe. LEMON. Sure, timid jibers thought it was fast....not good enough.

Lee . You come across as one disturbed individual. We are sacking you from this forum.
all the best in your further endeavours

goodbye

Scott's Evo worked pretty well in small, slow, soft breaking surf. He recommended Evo for fast moving hollow waves. You Aussies always brag about how fast and powerful your waves are.
That misleads people.

I think this should settle the discussion... Starboard Evo, Gnaraloo, Western Australia, September 2008.
Now keep the discussion polite and respectful or go troll somewhere else...

Got to escape quarantine for some fun offshore cross off rides. Really helped to have a board with good float with gusty offshore breeze, while timing the swell.

I'm sure those waves are no where as big and as fast as the ones Mr Awesome surf's.

Can you please post a pic of nurse Betty ?

Also waiting for pic of nurse Betty.

And if we don't see it, she doesn't exist?

You have plenty of valid points when you talk shape LeeD, some or even a little physical evidence would go a long way to boost your claims.

You went there?

LeeD you are pathetic, hollow, gutless and I'm starting to think full of BS about your designs. Here's why.
You make a call about poor designs and brag about your own, and when asked to show us your creds, you whimp out and say that we'll just bag you out anyway. Again, no proof of that - just you throwing mud. So you're all talk and no action. As far as I'm concerned, you've had plenty of opportunity to prove yourself and not doing so suggests to me you haven't done any shaping at all. Prove me wrong and stop hiding behind your gutless and abusive exterior. If you had shown some shapes, the speculation over your credentials would have eased, but we see none of that. Either your designs are contrary to what you talk about (in which case you're a hypocrit), or they're not that good, so you're scared you'll get bagged.
As for us Aussies not conceding our points, I would again suggest this is another poor effort on your part at being nationalistic and divisive. If you'd check the suffix on the webpage, its got a .au, and that suggests it's an Oz based website. So a lot of Aussies get on it and discuss stuff. But if you look at the nationality of people on these forums you'll see that while many of us are Ozzies, we are more than happy for anyone from anywhere to have input into the topics and plenty have. However, should anyone (regardless of nationality) say something that is questionable, then it gets questioned. If Scott McKercher was italian, Irish or norwegian, he would still have the same respect amongst any of the sailing community.
Too many times in this and other forums, we've seen your argument get torn to pieces, and your start name calling, or simply deny providing evidence cause we'll supposedly not change our opinion.
Sailor talk about weights and you bag them out as fatsos without having ever laid eyes on them. Talentless without having seen any of them sail. Easy to make broad sweeping statements. How about backing any comments up with some evidence.
Plenty of videos providing evidence which shoots down your arguments, and what do we get from you? More denial, change of topic or name calling.
As has been suggested before, you're amazing at spouting a lot of tripe about how good you are, but there's no evidence to back that up with.
Can you blame us for tearing a hollow charlatan to pieces?

Hollow.
Charlatan.
