Surf Park project : In recent days, a gigantic project to make people surf in the middle of the desert has been abandoned by the city council of La Quinta, a Californian town of 41,000 inhabitants. This project had been imagined and carried by one of the legends of world surfing Kelly Slater. Surfers will therefore be forced to surf the waves of the Pacific Ocean more than 200 kilometers away.

Turning Points - The Board that changed the surfing world

Simon Anderson’s Thruster is The utmost Significant Design Innovation of the once 100 times, steering in a new period of surge shredding performance and ultimately getting the most copied board design in history. Over the once 50 times, the maturity of surfboard design advancements have been fairly subtle; advances on a steady design continuum. But veritably infrequently, original and inspired designs are so radical that they change what surfing is.

In our minds, surfboards are beautiful aesthetic objects- both three- dimensional art and functional form. Some individual surfboards, still, are exceptionally and widely significant.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Simon Anderson of North Narrabeen was one of the stylish professional browsers in the world. In the late 1980's,

inspired by a friend's board he'd seen using a third lower fin centered on the tail behind the halves, Simon fashioned a board that had a wider tail and narrower nose, as well as three equal sized fins. By riding it, Simon felt the board had further drive or thrust, so he called the boards" Thrusters."

As the standard and best each- around design for 40 times now, the Thruster has also fluently come the most copied design in surge history, with an inviting maturity of the world's elite browsers still using three- fin surfboards utmost of the time.
