We had a great surf Saturday morning 6 us of us were out at Mermaid Beach , I was on my new Jerry Lopez 10'3" and Clarky came and paid us a visit from down South and he was telling me about his new down winder he was shaping , The "E-Jackulator" 18 so after the surf I jumped in my car and followed him to his workshop and was blown away by what I saw, he had glued it together and shaped it in just 2 days it looked great and considering he has never seen a downwinder in the flesh and just used photos and info from this site he's done a top job , it looks fast and stable. give him another week to 10 days and it will on the water.

I'll let Clarky post some pics of his new hard pumping EJ-18.

Hey Piros

Thanks for the blog and your input into the board, sue loves the name. Have a lead for the rudder, do you know harvey from outrigging and photo fame. He makes the tiger oc1 and 2s, and said he could make me a rudder to my specs, only prob is it may take a week or so. Had a quick surf this morn out the front 2ft and offshore, Sue has me in the garden today then maybe start glassing tomorrow.

I could'nt hold back Clarky I just had to let the name out so Harvey Allison has some rudders , what shape are his stock ones ? Hurry and finish the board we need training partners.

When you see this board in the flesh you know it's something special , the rails near the back of the board are so hard there almost a resin edge it has performance writen all over it and yes it Rips.I tested 12 different boards before I settled on this one.

You can lay it over so hard on the bottom turn and it just keeps accelertaing and when you drive it of the lip the board just comes down like it's on train tracks ,it's just so easy to surf. I'm 6ft and 93kg an the board paddles unreal , it's stable and floats me fine , the nose is also a great shape for punching through the white wash on the way out.

This by far the SUP I have ever ridden.

hows the tail on it. Looks like a sick board

The Pentrator v The Ejackulator good race calling eg:- and it's Woogie on the Penetrator with Clarky coming up hard behind on the Ejackulator.

Yeah Waz the board absolutely rips . it's just so under your feet.I was surfing the pumping jetty yesterday morning and I had guys paddleing up and saying how fast it was and were amazed how I could throw it around so easily. When we went out on Saturday Nathen Myer came up and asked to have a go , he loved it as well.

yo Piros

nathan meyer was in my year at school

amazing swimmer

does he ride sup's much

pics of the gerry board look nice

G,day Piros i am looking at the moment for my next board your enthusiasm for the Lopez has got me interested i am a similar size to you 6,1 hover between 86 to 90kg,s depending on how much Guiness i drink through the week , where do you purchase that board and can i ask you the approx price?The Naish 9'6 interst,s me but i have a feeling i will be to big for this size board as im also only an average surfer 10'3 sounds like a nice size.

Have nearly finished glassing the Ejackulator, had a rudder lined up but the rudder had a fault with it. Supplier said it would be 2 weeks till he could make another. Anyone out there know of any suppliers selling rudders. I was looking for a rudder similar to an oc1.

Clarky

Are you still looking for a rudder / steering system. We brough one in from Sandwich Island Composit but Stuey never used it - can sell to you.
