Makaha Manu ... the Relentless Glide

The tunnel finned speed fetish has returned.... thanks to Suzie Q....Makaha Manu ... the Relentless Glide of the mighty 12-9 wooden surfboard at Raglan.

 
"Hey Roy good to see you in action again. I really do like the way the board you show here can be trimmed and turned by just a few re-positions. I have (as you know) always admired your work and still say one day's (if I can) I'll buy one off you."

"Hi Roy, thanks for the video. The Makaha performs really smoothly."

"he has such wonderful talents
thanks for sharing the news, Roy"


"Hey Roy . . . In all honesty the display on the board you ride in the above vid is closest to date of my vision of a 'super board' "

"Relentless was definitely the right word for that session Roy, New Zealand, The Land of the Long Wood Board, have a great year Roy."

"36 sec. cutting back to the source"

"nice control, subtle little changes and the speed!"

"Yeah that's a good vid - great early morning light too"

"That's some nice surfing Roy... Nice song choice... You are through to the next round"

"Great vid Roy ! Board looks fast."

"1:25min super trim"

"great vid and waves Roy, I liked the envious looks from the shoulder hoppers as they tried to drop in on potato chip boards..."

"great vid, let me know when u plan a trip up"

From Seeka who rides a Makaha: "i enjoyed the vid too. this board is similar to mine, altho mine is a 10ft single fin pin with a low tail rocker..very fast and easy to ride. actually, at times it's too fast for our gutless mush, so cutbacks become compulsory. great for lazy as$ surfing. had a few guys checking out my sticks last time i went to the beach. i got the feeling that one of them thought they were just novelty value(hey dude, if you're reading this, then a smile now and then won't mess with your extreme coolness much)..that is till they got out there on their slow as longboard trifins & missed any waves that came along. meanwhile i smiled like a cheshire cat as i caught anything i wanted and surfed past at relaxed speed"

"One of roys boards would be a pleasure to ride and own, the craftsmanship is exquisite and they go fast"

"Good video Roy, I can appreciate the strengths of the ride. "

"Wow, that thing really motors on take off eh!"

"Cruisy session there Roy, I would've been grinning like a cheshire cat after that I reckon!"

"When you get in trim the accelaration is awesome!! It almost looks like you have to constantly slow of down! Lots of closed minds on the erbb but I don't give a poop!"

"The guy in the orange wetsuit looks like he's enjoying what he's doing. "

"The board certainly looks to be working well on that pointbreak!"

" lots of acceleration in trim"

"It looks like you are catching a lot of waves and are having a great time. And from reading some of your posts you have a way of getting people worked up. Nice on both accounts. "

"Are you having fun? Then fark what everyone thinks"

"Sweet!"

"Roy I appreciate what trip your on. You're doing what you want and having fun with it! Cool!"
