I have not ever seen so many free online courses. I'll have to take a look at some of them and see if a few of them pique my interest.
Blue Planet Duke: 10'5" x 32" x 4.5" @ 190 Liters (2 Dukes)
Sup Sports Hammer: 8'11" x 31" x 4" @ 140 Liters
SUP Sports One World: 11'1" x 30" x 4.5" @ 173 Liters
CJ Nelson Parallax: 9'3" x 23 1/2" x 3 3/16" @ 78.8 Liters (prone surfing longboard; Thunderbolt Technologies build in Red construction)

There needs to be a point?


Great list but just scratching the surface. I wonder why Kahn is not mentioned or linked. Most of the courses with particular curricula at Stanford, MIT and manu other colleges and universities are available free, online--some issue certificates of completion. Some of the Stanford courses have fees, but most don't. Great way to spend your TV time.

The MIT OCW classes are awesome. I started a few but dropped them when I got busy. I need to pick them back up again:

If you need a point, it's simply that the best education in the world is available for free to anyone who wants to access it, from anywhere. This is unprecedented in human history--but then again, what isn't.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

No point....I just hadn't seen this one before...I was surprised Kahn isn't listed also....maybe because it's monetized with links? I was particularly drawn to the the list of lectures. I'm going to start watching the Buckminster Fuller lectures..What I Know...42 hours.
Aria and I do what she calls "Grampy school"...basically me finding interesting educational stuff online and doing it with her...I found a few new sources here that look good.
