From The Net ....


A couple of on-line stirrings regarding modern surfboard design, found on the World Wide Web...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Roger Kelly forwarded this treatise on the shortcomings of contemporary big wave design.

It's a long read -- and pretty technical -- but that allows author Donn Ito gets to the heart of the flaws of flat bottom surfboards in big surf.

Glenn Sakamoto also turned up this short piece from the Surfer Magazine site on the fading grandeur of thrusters in everyday surfing.

 It's interesting that it took so long -- over 3 decades -- for the media to catch up!
