And feathers?

Asking for a friend.

Compared to Trev it is.

Yeah but in this case it's warranted.

So good to see Medina out.

You took loofy on that road trip? Lucky it wasn't 6'.

Only got three fin boxes, yep.

Glimpses of goodness today. Some direct analogies to what steven wrote.

Delivery method might have something to do with it ...

I'll send you my address, Trev.

You too, 'boo. I know you're hoarding.

I'm officially in love with both my Phantom and Voyager 1.

@steve maybe the Phantom is capable of high performance surfing ...

Width. A simple analogy I'm more confident about is skis. I'm reasonably competent and can muscle around my ~115mm waist skis and do some short radius turns. But give me some 63mm slalom skis and and I could blow them away. It's simply much slower to tip the extra width from edge to edge. Same thing...

Rode my DVS Wasp again today.

Jesus christ on a skateboard, its the fastest rail to rail board I've ever ridden, its frenetic, huge flat line speed and turns on a dime.

The physics of that board suggest that's impossible.

Could also be the ... widest point being back from centre?

That's definitely what it is. I'm not saying it won't work (what would I know) but it looks to me that I want the wide point pushed forward.

It feels to me like the template is off. The nose should stop somewhere at the top of the big black T.

Many years ago when I met 'boo I had a fish that I loved and ride exclusively for a year. It was great but it affected my surfing. Positioning, turning, everything. The Phantom is closer to a short board than that modern fish was (essentially a dumpster diver) but still has some elements of fishines...

Wore my old zipfree today. So nice.

And the Phantom is great. Really addictive. I hope it's not detrimental but it's tempting to make it my primary sled.

Yep. Same dims. Comments in Nick's thread.
