I mean, I didn’t like—like choose to that—I don’t want to be a shaker. I'm not much of craftsman and not much of a person that’s very talented and with ease in my hand. But I kind of just made it up and didn’t give up. You know board after playing, after board, after waiting. So it's just kind of came together.
As far as I can remember when I'm 17 and 18 I got pair of boards from a lot of different guys, you know I got to sand it. And I worked really, really good, better knowing to work—all of a sudden like because it already have more material out there for the board – things like—you would be going out a long distant. I used to see boards and I go, “I love that! I'm going to make it.” You know, I understand – I mean—been measured—things and it all make sense.
This thing is trying to cater to – you know, your typical short wood guide, now this guide work on similar outlines, rails, and – I think it slows itself. It's the rocker that really kind of set its shape with boards.
They have those things off the computer and then I find something more. If it probably has small tail, and they're like dining tail or squash tail, or a round tail and that’s it.
You know the custom blank, all these stuff, there's so just so – hand shaping, there's so much work that I've gotten there more. I think rocker, it's an artist – outline, they're very similar with it, because it's just—you're dealing with two dimensions, with curve, rocker, you know those two dimensions. If you mentioned that that’s what you have ever have, you won't be able to reduce them. You know, I can hand shape and as far as looking on computers, it comes a little more accurate.
Basically, I think everybody is looking for the same ride, it's just that they have a different philosophy based on the boards and the—and the lines that they got based on the – you know, and then best shape for dimension is to kind of have people go out and love when their board works. I love them when their board works.
I got boards, pretty narrow and I was making this kind of slow, so I kind of spill this a little bit, but that was kind of amazing, like it's “gee whiz.” But what I've done recently is change some outlines, a little bit of – made them a little bit forward—on water. Filling those one out, which give you more lift, which makes the board go there at a slower pace in smaller wave.
That’s the board that’s doing that, very shorter and wider, and they're smaller, you know. Just less—probably what we used in there.
That’s it, now I want people to learn that getting boards from me is at—“Hey, you know this is what I do and this what I've done, but you have to jump in, you got to try yourself.
All you have to do is be—and one and you’ll progress and get as sturdy as you want to be. You get it from—and this—a good stand on and grab your board. So, if it's a safe go and you passed that drift, you're going to have a good board, even you mess up a little bit, it's still going to work, you know. You know, it's not like it's –
