Interesting how much more volume Kolohe is using for his weight compared to Julian and Mick. Any ideas what the disadvantages are?

I think you make up for it in other areas (curve, rocker, etc.)

I never thought my highest performing board would be over 19 inches wide.

Wow. Average customer's blank seems heavy, and glass seems very light.

Here's something to trip out on.

Kolohe has gotten over $42,000 in surfboards from just Biolos alone

160 is small?

What category does my weight, 130lbs, fit in?

He came to Australia, called up (shaper) Lee Stacey and said, ‘fark it, these waves are so sucky. I want more angles on the fins.’ So they ***** cut the fins off five boards and ***** put them back on. It’s… intense.”

coolie boards have more fin angles? he doesn't know what the wave is like?
