Hey gordon - sorry for my late reply - just a big thanks for your great comment - nice piece of history on the master Mickey Munoz - loved it. So stoked over this boards I now have a quiver of 3 of the 12 footers plus also have the 10'6" one (which flies). Have tried out piles of 12' to 13'9' (Dragon Board) boards - and the Mickey Munoz one is the best by far. Neat to meet on line someone who has personally known 'mouse nose'.

Thanks for feedback - if your dancing your enjoying yourself - as long as you don't trip over your feet hanging 10 🕺

These boards noseride beautifully as long as you don't trip over the go pro mount on front of the board. You need to mount camera at back of board up high to capture hanging ten. Cheers

Stoked you enjoyed it Cruz - we had fun making it...cheers

Hey Johnny I did some serious astronomical calculations - with state of the art 60cm metal ruler - and the maths equations were masterful....cheers

Ha ha - they will need to master interstellar travel before they get me!

Hi Gavin - his name is Oliver - check out his site...www.lenoelsurfboards.com/ when you are on his page just click onto the Lenoel and a drop down menu pops up. Hey glad you enjoyed the surfing movie - cheers

Thanks for feedback Trudy - and if you were still in Gisborne you would be in the water surfing! I could guarantee to have you up and riding on a 12 foot surfboard - and have it all captured on Go Pro - MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR....

Not denying that - think it comes under the generic heading of 'pottering.'

Really pleased you enjoyed this... thanks for your response... cheers

I have not travlled and taken a surfbord with me

Hi John - tend to do majority of my surfing in Gisborne (generally because its just about always good). Have headed to the Mount on occasion but that's abut it. I have a quiver of 12 foot plus boards (12'4" Jinx, 12' Bob Davie, 12' Mickey Munoz, 13'9" Dragon Board) and one shortboard - 11' Mickey Munoz). So always have a variety of boards to surf on - and since we are so spoilt in Gisborne don't do many roadies. The Dragon board is the most interesting and I'm actually really starting to get the hang of it - and the joys of not having a legrope. Cheers

@@gisborne12ftsurfer looks like an amazing place! i really enjoy riding a 12fter and im looking for advice hauling it around north and central america. hopefully ill retire to a quiet beach someday!

@@johngrywalski1128 - Hi John - if travelling with these beasts suggest your best board to travel with is the Mickey Munoz tuflite 12 foot board. These ride beautifully and can take some punishment without getting dings. Had mine for over 10 years and its still in A1 condition. Even better suggestion is get the Mickey Munoz 11 foot tuflite board - they are a bit more manageable for travelling around with - and catch waves easy and are easier to handle in larger surf - they are a bit looser than the 12 footer - and are still wave catching machines. You will not be disappointed - I go down to the 11 foot Munoz for winter surf as its better in the stronger and larger surf. Enjoy you surf trip and all the best - cheers

@@gisborne12ftsurfer cool man good suggestion! i just rode a 12' Mickey for a few days in san diego.It was a blast.its really the only way to go for me at this point. I will try an 11 at some point also

Really pleased you enjoyed it - sorry for poor colour on slides/photos - most were developed by non-Kodak and faded - the Kodak images still retained perfect colour - it was a fantastic time to be holidaying in Kenya.

Thanks for the hint Roy - no doubt practise makes perfect on this board. I have been looking at your you tube clips and facebook and studying the master. As a novice on the dragon board - my initial impression is they actually surf remarkable well - smooth on the face of the wave and remarkably responsive for its size and weight. I am very pleased with this board and definitely a proud owner. Thanks for you comment - cheers

all good, she's easy to ride really. Just saw you and the board parting ways a couple of times, which doesn't need to happen if riding from the middle. am super stoked that she's back in the water, Built in a bus by the way, with hand tools, sold to dusty for two square meals (literally) when broke

@@RoyStuartwarpdrive Sorry for my late reply - thanks for the additional background info about the board build - I will add this to its history. Amazing that you crafted the board in such a confined space and just using hand tools! I'm hoping the two square meals were worth the sale of such an iconic surfboard - I certainly could not believe I managed to get this board when it came up on trade me knowing the amount of blood, sweat and tears would have gone into its making. In meantime applying your advice and will be posting another clip in a few more weeks - with an improved technique (I hope). An early Merry Xmas to you in meantime - cheers
