Anybody ever ride one?  Pretty compelling.

A lotta MTK heads and a few guys around here. If you are a cruisy kinda , high volume surfer they for the bill it appears to me although they make stubby ones , the majority of guys I see on them are on the 6'6-7'6 range

Yeah, lots of info on Swaylocks too.  Just curious if anyone has firsthand experience.  Why doesn't someone have a business where they rent demo boards for all the shapes I want to try?  Not cool.  And if you steal my idea, I get 10 free tries of my choice.

Have one on order 6'4" Winter Foil..Should have within a week or so and will let you know.

I rode a 6'6'' SVM for a while. Recently sold it. They are fun boards, easy to surf with really smooth rail to rail transitions for such a wide tide and a thruster set up. heavy V bottoms feel really good sometimes. I think the Fowlers go particularly well for bigger guys who like to have their back foot in front of the fins, and drive turns from there. [size=78%]be sure to get some large fins to make that thing work properly.[/size]

Went with a fin upgrade to get some extra rake...Future Solus..

Tom Selleck was killing it midtown a few  weeks ago on one. Mollusk crowd loves them.

Why don't I have one yet?

Never heard of these things. They look pretty rad and like they're designed to suit my style of surfing (e.g. no style).

That mustache is Bruce Fowler's rep in NY. Ask him or contact Bruce directly if you're interested in a board. Fowler's email is [email protected] .


Fowler is making these small chunky SVMs now that are in the 5'6'' range that look like they could be really fun in our waves.

I found this in a 1980 Surfing Mag last week. Bruce Fowler in an OP ad.
I sent it to Bruce. His reply..."Thanks Rick.......... yup, shorts were SHORT in those days! lol..."

A little perspective on his experience. 32 years ago he was featured in Surfing Magazine as "Shaper - Bruce Fowler"

Yeah man. We'll need to triangulate!

Thanks for the info, everyone.  I think I may be in.  The smaller one is called the Mini-max, btw.

Harry, sounds like you and I have similar "style."

Hey Malwitz, I met your buddy Kerry a few weeks ago on my block in Prospect Heights, when I was (poorly) fixing up an old Liddle.  He told me to check out your boards, which look really, really sweet.  Nice work.
