Tea time rant:After 15 years of railing against the fact that all longboards are noseriding icecream sticks, and suggesting that decelerating rockers (i.e. low tail rocker and more nose rocker ) be used along with more planshape curve in order to make more functional longboards, we are finally starting to see it happen.Of course, these trends ( long hulls, long fish, etc ) have to be started by Californians ( preferably deceased ) and the underlying hydrodynamic concepts i.e some frigging nose rocker are NEVER spoken of, it's all mysterioso ripped jeans and misunderstood genius with a tin of beans stuff. . . . that way there is no conceivable connection to what he who can't be mentioned has been doing and talking about for years.
We know that they have been listening though, just like they did regarding the Mavericks suction zone back in 2004.At least the noseriding monopoly has been broken, we have to be thankful for that I suppose..
