Daniel Thompson... design play from 2007-2014 in surfboards

Mark Thomson’s documentation of his son Daniel riding my 5’7″ Pavel fish at home in Australia in 2004. This board has swept-back marine plywood keels made by Larry Gephart. Basically a pure fish descended from Lis kneeboards. It was a key milestone on the road to Daniel’s modern planing hull designs, i.e. the Vanguard, etc. Most of this footage was shot on May 9th, 2004, just a little over 10 years ago this week. Interview clip in the beginning of the edit was filmed by Ryan Field in Baja Sur, 2007.
