  2. Hey Alex! Hope all is well. Haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope your getting some surf time in.

    The tail rocker is relatively mild, I think what you are seeing sre the flutes of 6 channels exiting the rail off the tail. At certain angles it give the illusion of increased rocker.

  4. Hey Dan,
    Howsit? back from sabbitical? :)

    The "Super D-glydes" start at 9'0"
    The "Mega D-Glydes" will start at 10'
    The "Giga-Glydes" will start at 11' :-0

    I have the Giga shape invisioned as a full on "Glider" type shape that will offer progessive performance in terms of turning and sensitivity and still have mad glide. It will add mucho dimension to the just stand and glide traditional "glider".

    Not bad for a design that originated at 7'2" I orginally hand shaped for Jin. This DNA branch has morphed and subtly mutated since it's inception.

  5. Dan, sorry, the channels are the traditional d-glyde 6-channels. Very subtle with a delicate radiused inside corner of the channel. The center being the longest is 41" and the shortest the farthest out is 17".

  6. How bout a Tera-Glyde that starts at 13 feet, or even a Peta Glyde that starts at 17 feet. Maybe a Ridicula Glyde at 20 ft?
