RE: RC Surfer
Great pictures you lucky guys, kinda wish I was in CA & CT, with my bucket of batteries and toys.
I WILL get some waves tomorrow after my 8am match play golf in our club's yearly competition
Keep the photos coming and MJ get your mates to work the Nikon so we can see the Green Dart deep.
Jimi - waves on my list tomorrow are for you - hang in there Dude.

RE: RC Surfer
Wed golf - I sucked and lost match play badly - now I know why I don't like competitions.
I spent most of the match wishing I was surfing instead!
Jimi - true to my word, drove to south shore and got some great waves for you, at 2 locations.
Windy offshore 3-5ft with bumpy faces but no one to take pictures.
Here are a few shots of some of the waves between batteries.
Will try again tomorrow........
Kite - I would love to surf the glassy conditions that you get in CA
- you are so lucky to have such clean waves

RE: RC Surfer
Have to say: "What I enjoy about rcSurfing - is the flexibility to fit it into ones day. Even with a busy family of 4 kids - I am still able to squeeze in a session most every day over the weekend...having a wonderful wife who enjoys it as much as I do....really helps aswell !....LOL

RE: RC Surfer
Hey well around 35 to 40 years agoI dreamed about havinga surf picture of me published. I guess my Dream has come true ????
Somehow ducking out of a 2' wave was not as grandeurous as I had hoped for, but oh well beggers can't be chosers. It was a much better day to be 10" tall and have an electric motor in your board.
Thanksful to survive a little Flossy-ing.
Aloha, Karl

Hey Bro,
Awesome craftsmanship a real high quality finish and a seemingly unbreakable model, unparalleled in the production game at this time.

RE: RC Surfer
Hey Karl,
Any Tube Ride is a good one in real surfing. Thanks for the comment you shared on your pic.
It's great to sea Pix of all Real surfers that also enjoy Rc Surfing.
I encourage everyone to post a pic of that nature, It makes for more realism within the hobby.
You get a high five and a stoke in the eye from one of my Rc Dudes for that Duck in Barrel. Great "finish"

RE: RC Surfer
Hi Guys.....
Here is an update on InDaTube II
MJ is coaching me thru my first Maui RC Surfer build !!!!!
InDaTube II is a 36" x 10.75" Dart Shaped Swallow Tail - Single Fin..... More nose rocker and Vee in the tail.
The pod is also a bit smoother as well. Quite different than InDaTube's round pin, slight Vee shape.
It will be powered by a Leopard 1900kv motor, Swordfish 120A ESC running on 5S NanoTech Batteries.
If it surfs half as well as InDaTube I....... It will be a great board.
More photos to come.......

RE: RC Surfer
Hi Jimi...thanks !...."never say never" ....anything is possible - BUT - I do try to make it as strong as practically possible. I surf my boards with no regard / concern of breaking them and so far they have stood up to what ever I have thrown them into....
Curls !......how are the V2 orders going - last I heard you were flat out with production - Any chance of updated pics of the V2 board -and - any action video footage.
Indatube - - very nice shape !....look forward to enjoying the process with you...Lots of pics please !....."remember - their is no known cure for the addiction" BUT - its a healthy high with no downer...best rc trip I've ever had....and I have tried a few...LOL
Bro'

Great surfing Dom,
You must have enough video footage now to take the top 1% and make a classic RC Surfing movie.
Your customers must be really stoked.
I can't wait to see the LED board you are planning on building.
I reckon it will look totally sick, just on dusk after a long hot summers day, LED lights flashing, bashing the curl, one more time.
Keep raising the bar BRO !
