You JBers are an awesome bunch of feckkers! Let's have some fun with this, see what our JBers are shaping and support their craft. If you see someone doing something you like - TELL THEM! BUY A BOARD or T shirt or whatever. We have a forum into the minds of some amazing craftsman here.... 1) Be NICE! People are putting themselves out there and spending time and money to create things and submitting it for your enjoyment. RESPECT THAT! 2) Keep it to boards or whatever you created. If people want to show Handplanes or other surf craft... I'm cool with it. 3) Keep anything you are selling/salesy in the FOR SALE forum (out of respect for forum rules). I am happy to have anyone and everyone that shapes post things here! I think the mix of pros and avg Joes will be a lot of fun. But let's keep it fun and supportive. So let's see it you talented bastards! Click to expand... Okay, so that being said, NOTHING BEING POSTED HERE IS SUGGESTING YOU BUY IT. Don't even read this if you are gonna have a stick up your.......... I'm considered a "pro" but I do shape in my garage at home. Yes I have had shops, but those days are gone & I'm happy to sub out the work to people I trust. FWIW, I can build a board start to finish with the best of them. 50+ years sorta does that for ya. I appreciate the guys that have shaped 3, 30, 300 or 3,000 boards. They are keeping the craft alive. That's note easy these days, and there aren't that many of us left in the 30K+ club. In my book, Stoke is Stoke, no matter how many you've shaped. I support others shapers............ the newbies present fresh perspectives and I find some of the old guys are more likely to stab you in the back. :-( Okay............ so with all those disclaimers, hopefully I won't get reamed for posting what I'm currently working on. I think it's out of the norm and really fun to be exploring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to advance the art of designing surfboards? Have excellent riders that can chase swells across the globe testing the new stuff you put under their gifted feet. Case in point, we are powering out 2 new sleds for Brand Ambassador, Derek Thomas so he can hop a plane Sunday to meet up with a 6-10 ft. swell in Oaxaca. He will test a 6'10" Stinger, a 6'6" New Machine & he's bringing along his twinny for good measure. THE STINGER is the one I'm keen on collecting DATA. I just spoke to Cole @ Futures & he's getting me this group of fins by tomorrow to test on Da Sting. How often does a designer get a chance to collect this much info on a design down at his local beach??? LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY! :-O Image processing.
