Rarrick on a Roy Stuart Board on the North Shore by Sponge REPOST?

Your guy is an untrustworthy kook of no consequence, in my opinion!
He can't even stay on the board.
I have plenty of good ride reports from that board tour from people without an axe to grind and in possession of more than a single brain cell.

The surfer who has the board now on the North Shore said that the board is a Rolls Royce and that bonzers are like Volkswagens.
I dig your work Roy, but I think ANYONE, including the worlds top "longboarders" would have a rough first surf on a 13', heavily rockered board..... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" /> I know I would.
This is the first video I have seen of someone besides Roy riding a Roy Stuart board.
I just figured no one could afford them so nobody but Roy gets to ride.
Please post up some video of different riders on your boards Roy,
they are undoubtedly beautiful masterpieces, just interested in their functionality.

I agree 100%, but in that case they should stfu until they dial it in.
The fact that he didn't do this makes him an untrustworthy kook in my book.
Anyway, here's the kooky evidence, minus the blowhard yakking, actually the couple of waves he made were nearly as bad.
Pretty brutal review from Rarick, although we should remember we mostly have him to thank for the train wreck that is professional surfing.
Here are a couple of riders from Dunedin on the 13 footer, not exactly dialled in but getting there and enjoying themselves.
His written review was way worse, he even said that the board would go better if it were cut in half.

By the way, as I've been saying for a long time the rocker on that 13 footer is only moderate.
The 13-9 Dragon board, an earlier design, with slightly less rocker has 7 inches of rocker but this is less than two inches over nine feet. The 13 footer has from memory about 2.5 inches over 9 feet.
Both boards appear to have lots of rocker but it is really an illusion. Rarick's problem was the riding position and not enough time on the board.

Isnt this from 4 or 5 years ago even before the board went to hawaii?
Havent you got anything more recent,surely you must have something of the local surfers at your home break?
Or anything more recent ?
Arent any of the locals at your home break riding your boards?
I said as much above, and although it might appear that way I don't necessarily think that the designs above are inferior. I think that standard longboards are a poor type but shortboards are pretty well advanced these days.
