Ok, here’s a pic that Resinhead took of me riding a 7’0" thruster I made from a Walker blank, one day when he was on the injured list and I (fortunately) was not. As I recall it had been this way for a couple hours, and this was my last wave in…

Okay, since Keith's the only one so far, I'll play too.
First: 6-2 quad fish EPS with XPS rails balsa "parabolic" stringers down in South America a year or so ago (wifey took the pic on a shitty, windblown afternoon while my son and I were out mucking about):

Surf trip at Nicaragua, this is one of the only pics of surfing, 3 days before we went by boat to the outer breaks and the captain capsized the boat when we got out there, lost all our video cameras and cameras all footage of surfing some nice 6' to 8' swells. We all had to paddle in to shore and the captain and his buddy couldn't swim, thank God for extra boards. One camera left and this all we got on a dying swell, the second pic is us walking to the break, I just thought it was a cool pic.

just got back from a week in Central Costa Rica where I tested out my fifth shape, a 6'3 roundtail thruster
10-8 Wood Veneer single wing pin prototype. 2+1 in these shots but man, it works even better as a quad. As a quad you can really lay it on rail and carry so much speed! I reluctantly sold this board to a guy on Kauai and to this day I’m glad I stoked him out but man, I miss that board a lot!
GEEZ CarveNalu! when/if you ever get back on a "normal" board, it must feel like nothing to bury a rail.
Nice Pics!
Yeah Carve - Looking at that last shot… Can’t you lay it over… Ha! Unreal!
What sucks for me is… the server I use at work won’t let me see photobucket anymore… bummer!
I’ve posted the only pictures I have, that I can show… Ha!
looks like you’ve been keeping charlie busy.
how is he doing these days?
beautiful work between you two
Keith's great wave is a tough act to follow. I'm not even standing up...
well… i don’t have pics… but i have a video of my first one! hope this won’t be considered off topic hehe
