its nice when another shaper comes for a chat and see's a board you have made and doesnt just copy it when he gets home, but orders one from you!!
enjoy the board!! longboardirl/smileslayer.gif

I wonder if Mr Mandala feels the same way?

well as per the previous post had a conversation with manny for around 2 hrs one night a few months ago and he said he wouldnt send any boards here but if i listened and asked him questions he would tell me everything i needed to know.

fin placements, channels, bottom setup, stinger wings, butt crack the full works

wanna call him?

i didnt expect manny to do this at all! i know a lot of english shapers and when i visit they wont even let me in there glass and shaping room in case i run off with there big secrets!! one wll only let me into his shaping machine room as he knows i cant afford one!!!

if the guy i made this board asked me to give him the dims off my template i would have lent it to him im not bothered with all this copying crap!!
imitation is the best form of flattery!!

if someone wants to copy something you are making it shows you are doing something right!

Didn't Manny get most of his ideas from Rich Pavel anyway?

And the bat-tail from Will Jobson?

it is a bit, but i have'nt got a problem with lending templates to people and if he would of copyied the board himself i wouldnt of minded either

you should see the templates that bill thrailkill gave me!!!

original velzy pig 1958
phil edwards template
his own thrailkill 1960's
and the spin template for the surfboards hawaii/surf systems tri/fish/pin from 1970

some people are just nice like that!
