Re: SHRED SLED

Brenno, nah i did the same as you, i got a local guy to do a copy of the rocket. i went off the shred sled because hayden said it wasnt a groveller. but then i dont really rate the rocket ( or at least my copy ) as one either but rather a board for better small waves. i am currently thinking of gett...

Re: Summer Lovin...boards for mush

$500 - $550 is what retail shops pay Base and Chilli and so on.A bit more for CI but that money must go on the glass job :roll: All MP is doing is offering is a wholesale price and good luck to him.

Re: Bonzers

Thanks for the replies .
Yeah carpet thats what i was looking at but trying to keep it quiet.
I'm a bit concerned with the comparison to singles though,just looking for something with great speed with a rear fin, ie not a quad.

Bonzers

Has anyone had any experience with bonzers? The design has always intrigued me so i'm thinking about getting one as a semi gun for fast sucky waves over 5ft.
Wondering about the pros and cons compared to a thruster.
Thanks

Nice work SS .

Re: C - Drive Fins

Bohdi , its a thruster.
To be fair i generally ride my boards with a smaller trailer so it was more fin than i generally use.

Re: C - Drive Fins

i got a set a couple of weeks ago and i'm really happy with them in my small wave board.
but today i put them in my shorty and while they had fantastic drive i felt they tracked a bit.
i'm going to try them with a smaller standard trailer fin next to see how they go

Re: Kelly Slater's Wizard's Sleeve (and the like)

i'm pretty sure that the board in the final was a copy of maurice cole board. which is fine i guess all shapers take "inspiration" from others, but what shits me is that when asked about it he said it was an adapted flyer. if your going to ride a shapers board and then base your board around its des...

Re: Whats the LONGEST wave you've ridden?

mines the same as salty's but 5ft. on a quad just flying down the line and bottom turning around massive sections with ease as i was going so fast.

i would say 10mph would be a fast one at big left, possibly victoria's fatest wave
