Hey Dave,
Of course you should be captain of your own ship. Naish is great company and Robbie has done so much to advance water sports while creating a worldwide company with as much soul as a corporation is capable of having. He deserves all the rewards he has achieved.
Now it your turn to create, to drive your vision forward, and to achieve your own level of satisfaction. Although I don’t know you personally I do suspect you will be very successful in creating some really fun stuff to share with all of us. Thanks.
Best of luck.

Way to go Dave!
Very elegant goodbye post, as usual. I’ve always been attracted by the shaping thing, but haven’t found the time yet. Maybe one day…
Good luck!
Giampaolo

Good for you Dave follow your own path.

you were killing it on your new board designs last time we surfed together

You rip on any board you ride. Might as well be one you designed

Makes surfing even more fun when its done on a board you designed.
I love testing out a new board and then seeing how I can make it better.
I dont make any money at it but my pay check is the smile on peoples faces when they catch a wave on a board i designed for them. Their stoke is my Payday.
Its a great feeling.
Just wish I could pay bills with stoke.

good luck with your new endeavor. see you in the lineup.
Aloha
Frank

Dave (Scorpio brah’):

So appreciate your Truth & Transparency! Admittedly, I am now awaiting, rather impatiently, to SUP on what may very well be a “Masterpiece” SUP board!
