Bonzer Mechanics
I Have been curious about the Bonzer and how they work. Where else to go to than the Campbell brothers site. Below is an extract from his page
How the Bonzer System works:
"The primary purpose of the Bonzer system is to efficiently organize water flow. We have done this by designing fin and bottom systems that work in a synergetic fashion in order to maximize the use of the energy that is created by the water passing through the tail area of the board. When you’re doing a turn, the water travels diagonally across the bottom of your board. The Bonzer side fins have a base totaling 9-3/4” on each side, and a maximum depth of only 2-3/4”. The angle, combined with the shallow depth of the fins, allows the fins to come in and out of the water with little resistance. This makes rail-to-rail transition much easier, which in turn allows you to keep your board on the rail with much less effort".
I have been a bit skeptical about this design however here is a little video of Taylor Knox ripping on a Bonzer in Mexico. It seems like the board maintains heaps of speed through the turns and also down the line (drive).
Go well with your day

Wetsuit fashion
G Day
I have been watching the pro surfing lately, admiring the level of surfing, the equipment and the wetsuits Matt Willkinson has been using.
I am kinda predicting (speculating) that this trend will catch on with more people using themed wetsuits vs the black "pro surfer" look. After all surfing is all about style and individuality, is it?
