Quiet Flight
Manu Bay again, in a different mood, this time on the 13'9" Dragon which is double the weight of the Makaha at 48 pounds.

Roy, I noticed there is a small army of wooden boards out made by you. Can you please post a video of your boys riding the boards.
--------------------------------
If you can't surf it, F&$k it!
You should square up the head gear for easier log transport .
back to your optimal size waves again roy

They'd have to be shaped to the rocker curve.

Pretty keen to see one of these boards ridden on a decent size wave to see how they perform. Trim and glide on barely broken waves looks great, be interested to see them on an OH to DOH wave.

I'd volunteer to surf one in size over the course of Autumn and Winter... but i fear the wrath of Roy if I broke one...
if you broke one, you will have to relocate overseas.

Ture , it looks like you balance it well anyway , anything to do with the infamous sweet spot ?
Yes the balance point is in the same zone.
I've 3 boards in the quiver out for repair at present, thanks for the offer Battery, how about building one?

That sounds like a good winter project Roy , how much for a basic 7 or 8 FT kitset ?

If you broke one you wouldnt need to order firewood.

well roy... you should get some punk like battery... ride your awsome boards and film him with batts... he will try and do one hell cut back on your fine boards hmm... maybe your first team rider...
roy... you should pay a flight for batts... meet him at the mount pay his bar bill and food at major toms,and let put your boards on a slashing cutback... man those hollywood actors would prob pay a million dollars for your board aka katy perry.but batts... need 10% off the cut from your sale...?

Eight kids and an hour and a half actually... and those beautiful small days are something only the residents enjoy usually.. . had a ball by the way.

Thirteen second period and rising swell, a great window of opportunity.

@Roy_Stuart_NZ www.roystuart.biz

I went out last night Jabes and it was up there with the worst I've experienced.
Normally when it's packed I can sneak a few waves. Not this time it was like locals night or something I was living off crumbs. Got 3 nice waves in 2 and half hours.
But got an absolute master class from about 5 different guys who farking ripped. Tried a few things that I noticed on the waves I did get and worked a treat so not all bad.

Fell off on all three waves then?

had a few nights like that, one time it was packed and only like 15 guys were getting all the best ones, so hard for me to get waves, freaks getting barrelled at the valley...two guys paddled past me saying they wer' going in, this crowd is farkt etc...yeah fark that place aint worth the time. if it barreld a bit more then it would sort the boys from the nerds.

Later the same day, changed from the 48 pound Dragon to the shorter 24 pound Ghost, which felt ridiculously light in comparison:
