He dotes on his only daughter Shirahoshi, and worries about her immensely. In addition to being fair, while in his youth he would kill others for revenge, in the present he has shown to be very merciful, as he allowed the human slaves of the New Fish-Man Pirates to leave and let the lower Fish-Man subordinates to do penal work under the watch of the army. However, he can be serious when the situation demands it, as he intended to capture the Straw Hat Pirates when they were wrongly accused of kidnapping mermaids, though Neptune did not think it was fair to arrest them based on a prediction made by Madam Shyarly, and merely wanted to capture the crew rather than arrest them for a precaution. He has a tendency to finish most of his his sentences with the word "jamon". He appears to be easy-going, absent minded, and carefree as he was scolded by his ministers for leaving the castle on a whim on more than one occasion. Neptune sometimes mispronounces people's names, as he refers to Zoro as "Zori". He also tends to shout his words out for no reason, including a habit of shouting his own name at random times, being followed by his whale shouting "Hoe". Neptune seems to be very blunt, as he simply invited the "Straw Hat humans" to the Ryugu Palace, instead of being more cordial. When he and his family arrived at the Red Port for the Levely, he wore a dark-colored coat. Īt Otohime's funeral, he wore a large suit. He wears a gold crown that resembles a tulip with jewels embedded, a golden bracelet on each wrist, and carries a gold trident with an elaborate design. He is bare-chested and has matching black tattoos on both arms, which looks like a spiral with wavy protrusion designs around it. Both his chest and arms are covered with hair. He has a red nose, small eyes, and long thick orange curly hair (despite his age of seventy) and beard. Neptune is a giant-sized and muscular coelacanth merman.

I am lucky enough to have a Crozier Flex Tail in my own collection of kneeboards pictured below. This was the first time I had an airbrushed colour on a board. Chris sprayed one of my boards that Geoff made for me. the common method of adding colour was clear resin tints. I was riding McCoy’s at the time, and none of them had airbrush sprays.

This board was also possibly one of the first airbrushed boards in Australia. The theory behind the design was that the thin ‘glass tail would give extra bite in turns and the flex would propel the rider through a turn. Chris would then turn the board over, scoop out the foam from the tail section, and glass the deck, adding extra glass in the tail area. The board was originally shaped with a tail the same shape as the fibreglass Flex Tail, then the bottom was glassed. The Flex Tail in the photo was a complicated board to manufacture. Firstly, he started off with single fins and twin fins, then through his association with Peter Crawford ( legend photographer and kneeboarder) he ended up specialising in kneeboards. We sold a lot of his boards in our store in Newcastle.

Some time in the 70′s, because he could ‘do everything’ himself, Chris branched out on his own, and opened a factory in Mona Vale. It was where Gordon Woods, Barry Bennett and Scott Dillon first started making surfboards. Brookie was the epicentre of surfboard manufacturing in Australia at the time. Chris was a master glasser, who worked in the surfboard industry in Brookvale during the early 70′s. King neptunes treasure from adam williams on Vimeo.Ĭhris Crozier Flex Tail kneeboard.
