It is becoming obvious that some people dont like FP? Why I ask? 1/Is it because FP are a figment of my imagination and Im just inventing this design and giving away information that isnt acctually there at my web page? 2/There are absolutely no new designs that will ever have performance advantages.. 3/Could there be some worried shapers beliving they are superceeded by a modern advanced flow form and this is their only recourse but to ridicule it hoping it might go away? "Man that Lamorgini is trash wont ever go fast looking like that." Sounds a bit reactive on the part of the "ANTI FP CLIQUE" We are only doing what we love and sharing info is part of it..... What you folks are not getting, is that we are being taken seriously by quite a many individualls some are longboarders from this site...why do you think I hang around? ........ I stoked it..... http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
i hate penguins now!! See what you are doing?i use to think they were harmless little animals now.I hate PENGUINS!!!
I'm in sales too. It's provable that absolutely hammering a product at people, literally ramming it down their throats, no matter how stupid or inferior the product, will yield interest from roughly the most gullible 5% of the audience, ANY audience. But that's not news to you. People here don't hate your product any more than they hate YOU, a person who injects his stupid product into every unrelated conversation. Or if you can't find a conversation to inject YOUR product into, you'll start one... like this one. The reason you hang around here is that, unlike EVERY other surf forum on the internet, the warped host of this forum hasn't gotten rid of you. He feels he has a "brotherhood" with you unrelated to surf or surfboards.
News to me?........... http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
Victor Benno Meyer-Rochow and Jozsef Gal, scientist at the International University of Bremen have studied the penguin's capability of expelling its feces with exteme force. The birds can propel their feces up to 40 centimeters away from their nest. The researchers estimate that the birds generate pressures of up to 60 kilopascals- more than half normal atmospheric pressure and four times the peak squeeze typically excerted by humans. (Polar Research vol. 27 pp. 56). Some of it lands in Swaylocks. Rob Olliges
Hmmmmm forums, There are over 340,000 surf related forums, I am as happy as a pig in $#|+ .........it should take me about 34 years to get banned at every one ! "ANTI FP CLIQUE" you guys do know this is the WORLD WIDE WEB your playing with. Its quite vast you know.....there are 400mill regular net users not including CHINA which is exceeding 200mill.....there are over 20mill surferWW chewing through their boards at a rate of one every 18 mths for the average surfers career of 5 years. So that means a regular Joe surfer will have about 3-4 boards in his life......(20mill * 4)*5=100mill boards...... Now lets look at prices for surfboard....US$400 for custom shortboard with fins. Lifespan 18-24mths over the span of Joe surfers career he spent over US$1600 on surfing equipment not including wax legropes sunscreen stickers magazines clothes......Are you getting the picture Joe Surfer you are already being predated upon by unscrupulous Marketing magnates..... Why do boards Last for 18mths? Ill leave that to the Panel....... Share the wealth make boards last longer.............. Regards T.E. http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
Facinating Rob you do get into the net my boy! But I must wonder about your content though..... It has been a passing thought of mine, Penguins excrement statistics but never enough to go out and find it? Though you are quite entitled to look at what ever you please.......(any Pics) Dont send em! http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
Dear Mr. Ferret, Bad form there you little weasel. Swaylock has done us all an invaluable favor out of pure stoke in creating and maintaining this site. To intimate that he sides with T.Emerton and his FP fantasy is pure delusion! We/YOU owe Swaylock a great debt for a forum like this. The unfortunate thing is the drivel that permeates this site since its popularity has grown of late. But, Swaylock is not to blame nor is he a censor. And I admire him for that. If he had major sponsors for the site, he might be forced to censor derogatory remarks aimed at them. That would put Swaylocks in the bland PC world of those who equate "surfing" with sitting in front of the tube with a remote. As for the FP. All I can think is that if it is truely the "second coming" that E.T. thinks, why hasn't he been handing them out to all the hot shots on the tour for free, getting their blessing and becoming the new design Kahuna? But, if you can't even give them away....
TE, I'm sure you're design is credible, possibly ahead of it's time. TIME is the operative word. When George G. Shaped Velo and his "fish fin". you didn't see him ramming it down everyone's throat. He did it for him and no one else. If in fact he did it for glory or fame it never would have reached the proportions it did. If you feel you're design is valid, just put a few out there and wait for the feedback. It may take some time, but us surfers are patient and will answer in due time. Aloha, TW
TE, How many FP's are in existence? Who actually rides them? Who was trying to ride the one in the pictures on your site? As asked before when there WAS abit of interest in your uh...idea. Show us the bird! Post up some pics of people riding them. Interview with someone who has tried one??? Concept is great but in actuality we want to see some penguin rodeo! Post up a vid of a ride. You can Blah Blah Blah all you want but quit wasting your breath and use some of that energy to put up or shut up! I don't think anyone is going to spend the amount of time to shape a penguin as it would take from observing your drawings. Who in their right mind would want that glassing nightmare? You had an audience and you have blown it! No ticket No ....wait that was in Frosty...Ambrose??? you got any time to carve out a Penguin??? Weak Weak WEAK! Anyone that reads my posts know I am helpful to a fault and only ask for real info when I have a problem. I am trying to help you. Where is the Penguin Poop? Krokus
Ask any Pro yourself.... My opinion is from the experience from talking to some pros and asking them to be test riders is that they are not allowed to touch it fear of jepodising their careers. The old "what if it works !!" syndrome .....anyways this is not the PROS board its everybodys board.......It would not look good for the Large Manufacturers counting on boards breaking and being very very cheap to build! Our boards last longer and perform to a higher level of satisfaction for their owners....... Higher Level of Performance. T.E. http://www.geocities.com/wunderboyi/ninetysixpercent.html
