Corran Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Randomly, this board I designed back in 1999 just popped up for sale - at the time a totally cutting edge design. It's crazy how you look back and think of the fun days you had, and how those memories are stimulated by something as bizarre as this... ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Corran, were/are you part of Riot's design team? If so many thanks to you. I still own, and ride with great pleasure, a Riot Supercarve about 180cm long with a 17cm waist. I've added UPM inserts to it and ride it with a Bomber Boiler Plate.

Corran Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yup, the Super Carve was entirely my design. It evolved into the Velocity (the yellow one above). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) As it was before it got modified. I love its' shape, so long and waisted, it reeks of speed. Having ridden the Donek Madd KIller, it rides like the MKs big, and very much older, brother. Unlikely to ever get to ride an original Madd. When I first started hanging out here in 2008, Riot Velocity's were prized items. Edited April 28, 2018 by SunSurfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Now I realised you are from South Africa, boetie! I spent my young adulthood there, from 1992 to 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eboot Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi Corran Were you born in Durbs? Living very different lives it would not surprise me if we knew a bunch of the same people at the Durban surf life saving club. brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corran Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I was born in Cape Town but grew up in durbs hanging out with the lifesavers as a pirate. 1981-86 mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corran Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Cool - for those that sign up I'll take half now and half when we ship the boards. That covers the mould cost and the graphics charges etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
