As seen in the latest Movement (29), Todd Quigley from QCD Boards is releasing a series of of episodes (or webisodes as we prefer to call them) on the making of a handcrafted bodyboard. Check episode one above featuring the roller.
Here’s the deal: Scott emailed us with a hard luck story, the kind that is generally depressing, causes our brow to furrow and our mind to wander along lines of ‘what the fuck does this kid want?’ Anyway, it’s hard work being bitter so we’re handing it over to you. After the recent Bali board test that’s featured in issue 29 (on-shelves now) we’ve got a few test craft leftover and might possibly be so generous as to send one to young Scott (at his own expense of course) but the final decision will rest on the verdict of you, dear reader, by using the pretty little comment function located beneath this article. Remember, play nice kids.
Scott writes: "Hey guys just writing to you with the worst luck story ever heard. Six months ago I got myself a new QCD board, was a great board until a surfer managed to run it over destroying it for good. Soon after that I bought another QCD, which arrived one week ago. I managed to score some onshore waves during this week and today another stand up ran me over destroying it on its third surf. I attatched some photos of the damage. Pretty devastating but I’ll just be saving up and getting another QCD made up and hopefully turn this horror winter around."
definitely give him a new board, that is soooo unlucky

No don't give him shit - if he hasn't learnt to duck dive surfers on two boards you can be sure a third will suffer a similar fate
Posted by: Lavelle 01-Jul-2009 09:45 PM
He said he is getting another..
I wouldn't but I'm also bitter.

the blue board is still ridable. he doesnt deserve a newie

F***! The same s*** hapenned to me a few months ago with a new BP board. Fortunetely I managed to get out of it with a slight cut on the deck. But it hurts man...

buy a foamy from kmart and learn to duckdive first maybe...
Posted by: John 02-Jul-2009 05:39 PM
Nah give it to him, why not he's had a bad run.
Posted by: Dane 02-Jul-2009 06:19 PM
Why are all you guys spreading hate?? Its just a kid that had a bit of bad luck. Who cares if he does not wax his board like Hardy. You're no one to judge. How would you feel if it had have been you, Movement run your story on their page, you get all excited, go look and a bunch of ignorant people are writing you off.
Some people need to grow up.
Also give the kid a board! I would be in tears! haha

Posted by: matt m 03-Jul-2009 09:03 AM
think you need to learn how to duckdive surfers mate
Posted by: Adam 03-Jul-2009 12:45 PM
Had the same thing happen to me in crowded surf at Byron. I floated over an approaching wave, and a surfer behind me duckdived through it ending up with the nose of his board piercing straight through my board. Sometimes there is no dodging it. Give this bloke the board. Especially since you have given hope that you might send him one.

shoulda bought a funkshen!
haha

Give the man a board! He's probably been crying himself to sleep over the loss of not one, but two beautiful customs. Restore some stoke to the water, it'll make everyone happy.
Posted by: Cuchiyero 06-Jul-2009 11:45 PM
Definetly we have an akward situation here. on the one hand he´s been so unlucky bu on the other hand he does´nt know a shit about waxing a board...anyway is a good story...let´s give him board
Posted by: dave 07-Jul-2009 05:54 PM

Posted by: cal jordan 07-Jul-2009 06:30 PM

Posted by: Tartaruga 07-Jul-2009 11:32 PM
