Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Lance Collins (Founder of Wave Tools Surfboards)
from Poorman's 15 Minutes of Fame · host Chelsea Shells
“Most people that make surfboards, they don’t have any idea about aqua dynamics whatsoever. They just copy everybody’s stuff and say, I know what’s going on. But whereas I’ve done a lot of research in it and I’ve experimented and stuff, and I actually do scientific research on how to make them perform better. [And the way they look, you’re heavily influenced by race cars. Right?] Yes. I used to race cars and boats when I was young before I started making surfboards, and my boat held the world’s champion in the speed record.” — Lance Collins (Founder of Wave Tools Surfboards)
