After Spud's original request to ride one of Roy Stewart's boards, and Roy's offer to make a 12 footer from scratch.
Beano expressed (after some rarking) his impatience to just see someone on the BB ride one of his boards in bigger waves. Discussion then leaned towards the use of the 13 footer destined for Hawaii for a Hikoi/tour around New Zealand where regular posters on the surfco bulletin board (BB) would arrange to meet, transport and ride the 13' board and document its journeys.
surfscab likened the journey to a Kiwi version of the legendary surf film 'Single Fin Yellow' and offered to support the boards travels to Dunedin.
dumbell suggested " How about we suss out a powersurfing circuit tour, and all chip in to freight this puppy around. Wellington, Chch, and Dunners. "
TheRealGroovn suggested "I think we oughta look beyond the notion of freighting. Nope, just sending the board place to place wouldn't do. Let's relay it person-to-person. I hereby put my hand up, if it gets to Welly, I'll come bring it across on the ferry and drive it in for the CHCH leg of the tour."
HSJ offered to transport the board in the Christchurch to Dunedin leg of the journey
Blunt' put his hand up to ride the wood in Wellington, Jabes at Bethalls and swellseeker at the top of the planet maybe meeting up with the Dunedin crew in the Catlins. waves was keen to ride too and deliver up to hunty in Kaitaia. Others who were keen to join the journey were marko sharko III, hunty and oldscool.
... and so the journey was born ...
