Puerto Padi

yeah i was thinking same as ted. mullaghmore always has so much chop and warble going on. chopes looks a lot more perfect.
also Tahiti is such a gorgeous place so it'd be a more beautiful view as i was getting pitched over the falls to my death.

Isn’t the better way to phrase that, “Would you rather sh!t in your trunks or your wetsuit?”
I base my risk assessment on proximity to 1st world trauma centers.
So faced with that choice, i think sh!t in my wetsuit it is for me!
Years ago I had a 2nd hand Davey Miller 8'4 bonzer 5 (with glass on center) that looked very similar to what the puerto padi looks like, baby swallow and all.
I showed it to Duncan Campbell, and he said davey rode it at big 2nd reef pipe.
Was a super fun board and fast as hell with the bonzer set up (even in conditions it was not designed for).
I don't read Daveys post as "they copied me", but rather, validating his, and other folks ideas.
Like they say, nothing new under the sun
(except for Nathan's surfing!!).
Cool though, that pyzel is making this type of board available off the rack now.

I had the same takeaway, saw Mr Miller get some great waves last swell. He was surfing good.

Pyzel "liked" the post so I'm thinking all's good in the hood :-D

I've seen it live on a 10-12ft day, thanks but no thanks.
The spot at the 3:40 mark is just down the road from mullaghmore, so a lot of more tempting options in that area

Jon while you are in question answering mode on the erBB as of late (and a BIG MAHALO for that.. I'm assuming it's because you're a great guy AND the north/NE winds are howling in HI today haha),
Puerto padi question(s)
I like my padillac (quad) and mini-padi (I surf it as a quad).
Can I custom order a Puerto padi as a quad? (I believe it's just a longer/narrower version of my mini padi, correct?)
I guess what I want to know is.... will the boys know where to place the fins on a Puerto padi if i wanted it as a quad (or 5 fin), or could that not end up well as a one off...?
I'd be ordering through haleiwa.
Mahalo!!
