this had nothing to do with who was first or anything else it was a design we got to improve our surfing
and in the uncrowded high quality waves dbles ruled. in that next year we built many volume reduction was our mission shorter boards lower c/ter of buoyancy haa'' we had not got there then but that principle is main stream to-day
