Panel of Experts:

Nasser Jalali – Professor Jalali has an impressive history in the manufacturing environment. He is also a professor at SFSU where he teaches, among other classes, plastics. His knowledge of plastics and foam should prove to be helpful in my search of materials.

Alex Martins – He is a long time big wave surfer. He is an invitee at the mavericks contest witch is the premier big wave contest in the world. Alex is also a good small wave, high performance surfer. He fixes dings professionally and has a ding repair shop in the Sunset District of San Francisco. With all the boards he fixes he will be able to shed some light on where deck damage is the most common problem.

Andrew Loska – Andrew rips at surfing and is a surfboard shaper in San Clemente. San Clemente is known for being a major surfboard shaping center. He will be a good resource because he knows surfboards and surfboard construction.
