I just called/spoke to you yesterday......unfortunately, you mentioned that you're fresh out of the 10'1" boards for a few wks.  Stoked for you, but I'm bummed....gotta wait.

Have a great wkend.

Great vids - thank you for sharing.

I made these videos because I am a one man team here.  I have helpers but pretty much when you call you only talk to me unless i am on a vacation surfing. 

Every board I sell, i spend about 30 minutes going over all these things with my customers.  I want them to enjoy the boards and most times they will have to spend a few hours on you tube to get these instructions.

If I can refer them to the videos, it may be me out on the water more.....

Thanks for helping me post the videos,

Aloha

Joe

I just wanted to say my conversation with Joe when I called was a great pleasure. I felt privelged to call and actually have him pick up the phone.
He was very informing and without any BS. His passion and knowledge are second to none.
It was a pleasure to talk to you Joe. You are definately an asset to the surfing and SUP industry. Your knowledge of what and what doesn't work comes from years of experience and your willingness to share that knowledge is great for all of us.

great stuff Joe-i do some contract environmental work for Solana and always stop in and peruse your shop when i am down there-keep up the good work-honestly i came really close to picking up one of your boards years ago but then  a friend hooked me up with a nice Nectar i could not turn down.
Buddy i know has one of your 10-0's and he loves it, like i said keep it up and Aloha!

I just got an 8-11/29.75 Joe Blair and it's been such a hit another friend ordered one for himself. What a board! I'm 195 and it floats me incredibly comfortably, with practically no troubles transitioning from an 11-2 that now feels like a floating dock. The board is also extremely loose, even in the tiny waves that have plagued us ever since I brought it home. Always happens.

I plan to post a full review once we get actual waves (Hurricane Emily, anyone?).

But what I really wanted to say, to anyone curious about his boards: Give Joe a call. Great guy, very funny, and he'll take the time to make sure you get what you really want. We must have spoken for half an hour the first time, 20 minutes the next. And I did get just what I wanted.

Thanks for the wave riding video, Joe. Figuring it out myself was fun and all, but some of your pointers would have saved me lots of time. I especially like the tip about removing the center fin and setting it up as a twin. Can't wait to try that one. Since I have the boxes back there, would it help things further to go as a quad?  I've gotten pretty good at catching them, but have been really limited once I get going--I think that center fin just gets trimmed in and getting it to turn requires lots of effort.

Thanks,

Aloha All, thank you for your kind comments!

Bulky Biker- and All- with boards 10' long +, ALWAYS GO W/ 4 1/2" - 5" TWIN FIN IN THE FRONT BOXES!!!!!

Remember to paddle 100% of the time while riding the wave, I didn't stress that enough in my video, it is so important!!! My new boards have faster bottoms because we have our Paddle to do our snap turns with, please see the link below!

If you guys are having any problems or ?'s about anything let me know and I will  get back to you quickly this time!

Aloha,
Joe Blair

I liked the emphasis on holding the paddle out stiff arm when falling. I have watched many other videos but don't recall hearing that advice. A simple basic concept that isn't first thing on your mind as you are falling.
Thanks
