Anyone ridden these? they look a full step ahead of anything we have here... they look... too good

anyone have one/ridden one?

quality website.

only seen visiting pros on his boards.

which doesn't answer your question at all and just adds to the general cyber-clutter.....it just seems cruel when an honest query sits there with no reply.
Are you referring to the boards or the construction methods?

[Haz]

Both! His shapes look slick and he knows his tech. As well as the kevlar sheeting, i really like how he sands his tails really thin to get heaps of tail flex, reinforcing it with a carbon hinge. it shows that someone is actually modifying the design with the new materials! The "Proxy" boards look like they would fly!

They sound pretty $$$ though...

quality website.

LOL. If only I could apply their designer's "fcuk off if you're not using Firefox" ethos my life would be soooooooo much easier.

sorry ...could you translate that into english ...do you mean that it is good or bad?

[Haz]

I think the websites pretty good...

he makes some pretty big claims though...


"the result after 10 years was this specific combination of superfused specific grade eps made just for surfboard use (so it has excellent compression strength and does not suck in water if dinged"


"The glass used is S-glass (highest grade of fiberglass on the market)in combination
with carbon and Kevlar strategically placed….this yields a board as strong as a Surftech, but with the performance characteristics of an ultralight polyester board."

Maybe he's thinking TL2's?



$900 US for a standard shorty proxy...

Actually i change my mind about the 2nd one, kevlar is pretty fcuking strong

[huie]

kevlar & uv light dont go together all that well?

[Haz]

Yeah i know, but I'm guessing the S-glass + some sort of pigment protects it enough?

Good if you have Firefox. That's 27% of the user base taken care of...

Ok deactivating sarcasm mode now...

Putting up some large notice telling people to use one or another type of web browser ( be it Internet Explorer or some flavour of Mozilla, e.g. Firefox ) is generally regarded as poor design practice.

A well designed site doesn't try and "push" one or t'other browser... it quietly caters for all popular varieties. To do otherwise is just plain lazy.
