You never know what you might find. Here's a gem from 3 years ago. YPC only 25, seems more like 50 ?

ORIGINAL: Jimi Findrix

Hi guys, Just thought i'd give you all a laugh. Here is my latest Email message to John. Dear Mr Curls,
What type of battery do I get for my Tx?
BB suggested Lipo, will this be suitable?
and John, What type and what size shall I buy? and John, and John, and John.....................................................
Yeah, Alright Dude You are the Big Kahuna, Man. We gotta get the whole world turned onto this.

This is an addiction. Freak me out. So Sick Dude. I am gonna help spread the word until every surfer on the planet
and his mum and her mum have got a whole quiver of these little rockets.

This poor guy gets about half a dozen of these a day, from me alone. God only knows what his other customers do while they anxiously await for their childhood dream to come true.
No wonder he is trying to push my board through. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, And he loves it? Anyone else would tell me to stop, but this guy actually encourages the stoke. What a freakin' legend.
If you want an RC Surfboard, do not hesitate, Email:Surfcurls and live the dream.

Status: offline 		Curls I agree !

We are 4 guys guys now rc Surfing in Cape Town.......so we can look to get something formal going.

Most rc boat disciplines have a pond that is dedicated to that sport , where as we operate in public areas which makes it that much more challenging.

Even to-day when I was surfing.....the more I move down the beach to stay away from surfers and bathers.......the more they move down, following me.....when the board launches off a fare size face and gets hurled by the wind.......I have no control......Have to stay far away from folk !!!

Bro goes 'external' to improve the Bind

Back from a very windy onshore 3 battery session...........Man ! were those surfers envious of Bro being able to grab just about any good face that popped up......This board is shredding so nicely !.......cant believe I enjoyed a onshore session as much

AND - the external Arial was a major plus !!!!........I have always used 40mHz on my race boats......the first 2.4 gig was with my first board build.....seeing the boating guys tuck the 2.4 gig antenna in the radio box encouraged me to do the same with my board.....and for the most of it as can be seen in all my vids......it works.......BUT....on that odd occasion their would be that 'flat unresponsive spot'........I wrote that off to 'noise' (interference like cell phones etc)........just did not want an ecternal antenna.

Anyways, after sharing this subject with you guys and watching a few video regarding the marine 2.4 gig........I thought I owe it to myself to 'Just Try an External Antenna'.................even if I don't like the look of it.....LOL

RESULTS:......Faultless........I surfed in very busy on shore surf......took it out as far as I could comfortably see the board, rode three packs without once experiencing that 'flat spot'......before, I think I would almost preempt my reaction, to time it right..thinking that was how it was......now -I could feel the better response.

Do all the ESC's come with the attached Ferrite Bead on the power output lead that runs to the servo ?........that obviously has an effect on the radio's bind.

They are predicting the wind to swing off shore for tomorrow so hopefully I will have some great surf !

Would not mind a ride like this one... http://www.wavescape.co.za/video/the-latest-clips/in-the-closet.html 'local spot on the west coast'

This illustrates the shortcoming of this forum...here we are 250+ pages into a 6 year old thread...We were promised a change a while back but it never materialized...not even a post that it wasn't happening.

Most people do not have the time to search through this thread looking for the information they need...TODAY.

Forums, set up with multiple catagories, are much easier to use. Information is more readily available. Search engines actually work.

Since my PM's have gone unanswered regarding this issue...it is clear RCU does not care to make space for us..I guess we are too small fry for the RC Community.

Fine, this is my last post.

See you in the Surf!

Metal Dog on RCU and Dave's Yahoo Forums Were The Beginning Of it all.

A lot has changed. There are Now Other Rc Surfing forums in France, Australia And The United States.

Moderator Matt (J.A.W.) Did his best to get us a new format on RCU, but The Owner of RCU Negated it.

With That Said, This place is more of a Chat room with a ton of history and valued info within the pages (250+)
It's a great place, But it is what it is.

The Sport Has developed, New Forums Have developed, RCU Is Still The Best Chat Room ...

 Kite i can see your frustration with the system, it's extremely frustrating to say the least, a more dedicated/organized set up would be far better for all.
 I'm guessing the biggest hurdle would be getting the existing thread organized as such....there is sooooo much information in here and just random at best...I'm guessing the next best method would be to archive it all and start again with a better set up/categories etc???
My personal method for searching is go to the gallery (picture ( top/left of the page)) and look for some pix that are relative to what i'm looking for and then open the forum at that point via the link (new Tab) and go from there
 This forum is great, i follow a few and this tends to the most active of the lot by a fair whack. I guess that's just what it is, a forum/blog so to speak, full of characters passionate about rc surfing...sharing their collective experiences, hints an tips, do's an dont's, opinions and everything else in between related too and some not so.....
 What makes it so great is all the people like yourself , willing to share advice/opinions/experiences to help those with a question or 3....like you said who's got time to read the whole thread (even then you might not find the answers to your Questions) , i did once but that was like a hundred pages or so ago and it took me ages (about 3 months) as it kept growing an growing at a rapid pace

I was recently sent a link to a more dedicated site....http://****/index.php....far more user friendly etc etc....and yes i joined :-) but i know i'll still be following here also
 hey twice the viewing pleasure

I hope yourself and others stick around, it'd be a real shame to loose such great characters
Cheers
Keep the stoke............Yeeeeew

hear hear dreadrock.... pretty much says it all..... and thinkin anyone with a passion will always search for others doing the same and enjoy the characters involved and their different aproach whatever site they are on and will include all sites as worthy for regular perusal... 

rcsurfing is something unusual as nobody atm has the ultimate 'this is how they are built and surfed' perfected model... sure plenty of takes on it and has come a long way recently but those who are interested can still do their own thing.... being related to real surfing which is always variable imo makes this hobby one of the best rc adventures ever.... 

Kite... your pics, boards and riders are always inspiring... last post6271 about rudder control and links to the relevant sites was great... didn't thank you at the time am trying to stop commenting so much just watchin and takin all the info in...... but thanks to you I now have some 'where do i get em" control arms on order..

YPC... your mathematical theoretical way is always good and in very short time imo you are up there in the masters section.... btw your link to the longest tube ride i've seen on post6278 is something i enjoyed watching... but would never have the time to search for.... goodstuff.

The other masters of this hobby i'm thinkin are happy to watch and comment maybe post some pics or vids when they think it suits... as are many newbies or longtimers... so i will always be watchin and hope everyone else does too....

regards bearcave

it would soon be clear to any new reader that any of the required details for production board rebuilds, would take a simple PM to Curls or BB for all the answers in a snap.
As Bear sais......their are so many takes on just about every aspect ........that it is perhaps more confusing than informative......
Getting in and being apart of the 'forum' is part of the 'experience'........its not the Wikipedia of rcSurfing.......its a hang out !


The Forums with the various Topics within itself can get rather busy - scouting from one topic to the next......they to get so bif that one cant keep up with all the various topics.

Forums to me are like favorite 'hangouts'....we don't want them to all be the same.....visit which ever one you feel like being apart of at any given time....... admission is Free !



Surf
Had some 'small' ......very low tide....fun surf this morning.........hung out with David and Nick......it was great having three boards in the water.....always a spectacle for all to enjoy...we drew more attention than our local province surf comp...........LOL

Another big NW swell arrived Friday, outer reefs +12ft faces
Today ran 3 bricks in Paia Bay steady 4ft thumpers with some bigger sets - but kinda messy as waves popped up all over the place.
Silver Surfer broke both legs today after a fantastic wipeout onto a rock shelf while backdooring a good tube today
Quick repair with carbon & epoxy - so he will be ready for another session Sunday.
Start work on a film shoot next week so got to get some waves over the weekend.

Please Don't Get Me Wrong. Your New Board Is Looking / Running Great,
But It Definitely Gets Huge Air, Even With 1 Foot Shore Break.
Looking at Time Mark 1.00 It Looks Like The Board Launched 6 - 8 Feet In The Air.
Would That Launch Height Become Exponential On Larger Waves Even At 4 - 6 Foot Faces ?
I Love Launching Off Waves, But How Much Is Too Much Air, As The Elecs Might Take A Pounding.
We All Used To Worry About Water / Heat. Maybe it's Time To Look At Launch...

Hugh
Some Size And Carnage.
Got To Sea Pipeline Yesterday From My Office Desk
And Watched The Waves Grow, and Grow And Grow Until The Swell
Was Hitting 3rd Reef Just Before Sundown.
Some Awesome Rides, A Lot Of Broken Boards, So Damage Goes With The Territory ...

MJ
Always Great To Chat ! I Think This Is The Biggest RC Surfing Wave Caught On Video And It's Got Your Name On It.
Can You Imagine The Launch Air Time With A Light Board In Size Like This ?

Hope you have a great session to-day ( Sunday) I'll be out looking for some 'bigger' surf as well

Hi Curls......thanks for the 'rating'.....I am very happy with the board.......always a design in progress.

That particular launch was an 'intentional high jump'........from my Jet skiing days ......a vert face and big gas .....gets you 'high' The hefty onshore also helps it climb a little more.
No leaks and no heat problems. I doubt whether the electrics will take a hammering from the landing. I have done 'plenty' of big airs with previous boards and never damaged anything. As long as everything is 'secured' well.....all should go well.....

Surfcurls......big waves RC HAWAIIN STYLE..... always good seein that vid

YPC..............internal/external antenae test finaly done by someone.... 5 stars for your input.... new surfer looking good in the waves too

Anyway while thinkin about the section sections and how hard it is to find relevent info when you need it now.... and the fact it has all been said before and the frustration and time consumption to post and search for such stuff... production/non-production wise and custom.....was thinkin maybe some interest in this post may show RCU we are serious hobbyists by starting something now...
Have no idea how this could work but.... espec regarding all the previous posts... but what about this for a try out?

I have some modified rcsurfers know some basics like them lots and want to build a real one this year..... One of the biggest things i see is that the pod/engine room is a big weakening of the hull once the stringer has been cut and was wondering if any would be prepared to show or speak about there ways of construction in this area.

I have watched maui johns vid and peeked into your compartments and pod shapes when you post.... i know its a kind of personel thing and many may not want to share their secrets.... (remember i'm just lookin at your boards... happy with my girls personel pods and compartments atm....)

Of course i am being greedy and selfish, time searching for everything faark even the raven who does nothing but fly around cruising the skies  all day looking for food and updrafts maybe even some walkin on the ground attacking a Mcdonalds wrapper, reckons it takes too long, even if you take notes...but it could be a start of a section called "the engine room" ...or something.....

Anyway just a thought....

I do not use stringers in my blanks. I actually remove the wood stringers if the blank(broken used boards) have them before I shape the ****.
I find that stringers are a real **** when shaping, doing engine room & installing prop shafts & skeg posts.
The rc boards are so short and narrow that all strength & stiffness is adequate you wrap the rails when glassing.
This being said I still pay attention to reinforcing the skeg post tube so that it is very strong.

Waves are huge in Maui today - copy & paste in your web browser the link below: scroll down 1/3 page to see wave heights measured in feet - wave face

Aloha

The HK GT2 has been working great !

Curls....speed - trajectory - hieght - weight -all make for good air ......BUT .......remember this as learnt on the skateramps .......the 'heavier you are'......'the harder you fall'....LOL

You can see the difference in the wave launch in the session I had today...... the wind was offshore.......completely different, not that landing big air has been a problem.

IMO.....rcSurfeing anything from 1 - 6 foot face is realistic.......bigger than that .......pure survival !

I never thought about the stringer getting in the way (do know how hard it can be to drill through something solid surrounded by soft stuff and keeping it centered though)... I like the strength an egg has with its shell and will be makin sure my rails have plenty overlap... one of the broken boards i have already has some of the shaping done for me regarding nose rocker was gunna give it a go but do have the rest of the board ... hmm thinkin thinkin oops another confusion headache lol...  thanks for sharing your way of doing it.

YPC.... latest board surfing good.... flat water vid not as good as your other boards flat waters but surfing vid way better.....your best surfboard to date hey.... (i have noticed myself what seems ok flat water doesn't always work so good in the waves)

I suppose flat water testing could be like testing a F1 car on a rally track.......

Thanks for the positive feedback !

This board still has a number of the previous boards great attributes.......just the nose being slightly wider seems to make an added positive difference in hitting the lip more effectively and overcoming pearling in the tight hollow......one more step forward.

Share the STOKE !

This was a session filmed yesterday on the False Bay coast line close to the notorious Seal island - the Mac Donalds drive through for Great White Sharks...........
The surf spot is called Cemetery and works mostly in Winter when the NW comes through with th elow pressure ground swell. I grew up surfing this break.....one of my local surf spots.
Did plenty of Surf Jet skiing here with Lisa-Marie......post 4 kids.........LOL

The test for Bro was to see how he handled the Lumpy & Bumpy......its always fun trying to milk a section out of a onshore wave....the surfers really enjoyed hanging out with him......

Glad you took no offence with the flat water comments F1 testing on rally track good analogy for what i meant.... but more like a skiier learning the basics (including his waterproofing and equipment the edging the weight transfer the crashing and inability to get back down the hill haha and the general whats happinin..) on a groomed run with the mountains of untracked snow just above...... waiting for the basic training to end and be used accordingly... wherever

btw ..... thinkin your thinkin you may soon want to be testing RC HAWAIIN STYLE..... Lisa Marie may not agree if you don't take her and the kids but.... lol

Best way to drill through a stringer is start with a small drill for a pilot hole (small enough to stay within the stringer) then drill the size you need, sometimes I'll even use 2 drills to stay within the stringer then do my final bore. Sanding the stringer, use masking tape (the thick blue stuff) on each side of the stringer that way you won't be sanding foam, you can double up on the masking tape too if its a big hump.
Hope it helps Later BB 

P.S. Use a brush end on a vacume to remove foam dust before you tape, it will stick alot better.

The Maui Vid, Definitely Has The Maverick / Jaws Wave Taste.

I can personally say that even 3 foot faces do not make me want to throttle out in that small size anymore.
Back in the day as a 12 year old grom, I would want to real surf anything.
As I Got Older, Even Living right on the beach, I got picky.
Swell direction wrong / wind wrong / tide wrong ...
I guess it comes with older age, or just more experience ?
Surfers In My Block would surf anything just to get wet. I just developed a bigger taste for better waves.
If it was onshore and mushy, I chose to rather cut the grass instead of surf.

When I started Rc Surfing I wanted To Surf Anything.
But after 5 years into it, I just want to hit bigger waves at least 4 -6 foot faces.

The Play Time Is Fun, The Survival Challenge Is The Real Deal.
I could get a stock NQD to have a blast on 3 foot faces...

Status: offline 		Shame Curls.......that's so sad......well, at least your lawn is always mowed......sure wish you were my neighbor...........LOL

Its awesome moments like these that keep me 'surfing' 3ft face........rather than mowing lawns .........its harder to make it happen on the small fast stuff..........
