This
revolution, "The Bonzer Experience", is about evolution: evolving
ones thoughts, experiences and consciousness. It's about dynamic
changes that produce quantum shifts in understanding and performance.
J.G. Bennett, describing Gurdjieff's concept of evolution,
states, "Evolution
is the production of high level energy from a lower level source.This
requires an apparatus of a different kind; for the "upgrading" of
energy is improbable and cannot occur at all unless some high level
energy is present. Life is an evolutionary process that goes against
the direction of probability. The work by which Mankind is transformed
is evolutionary."
This quote sums up in a nutshell, more than 30 years of some pretty
intense work. In 1970 the 3 fin Bonzer represented a quantum leap
in possibilities, and in late 1982 the 5 fin Bonzer presented another
tremendous shift in design and performance potential.
Maybe it was pure naiveté or
a misguided sense of mission, but whatever it was, ever since
the first wave we rode on a Bonzer we have felt an obligation
to continue refining the design in order to keep possibilities
open. We have wanted to give something back to surfing, which
has so greatly enriched our lives.
So against all probability, and to the joy of many and irritation
of some, the Bonzer stands here today as a symbol of the open-ended
nature of evolutionary potential and performance capabilities.
