Surfdad and others..help with board selection!

It does bring up an interesting point. Should equipment be regulated in these sports like it is in others. I would think not because you'd be killing innovation.

OMG!!!! You know you are not going to get a basic response from Surfdad... right???

That is a very, very good question. The sport is so young that I don't think it will and the amount of people that are in this sport isn't a lot. IMO, they will never have regulations regarding this... Too many political agendas need to be addressed and I don't think there is enough time in the day to address them.

Oh man Kona, it just struck me! I was NOT talking about you man! Sorry for the way I phrased that. Since James won the TWC it appears that the tech we were messing with started being taken seriously. My molded rail and springer build threads had been dormant for the better part of 6 weeks and then after the TWC those threads got almost TWICE the number of hits as they had in total before the event There are a ton of lurkers looking for info.

I can't imagine that the tech itself can be introduced commercially, at least the way we are doing it - the blanks that I had built take almost 6 weeks to produce commercially and costs almost as much as some boards!

Again I am sorry for my poorly worded response, bro.

Should have just told them James won on his skills alone. Well, he did anyways.

Yeah...I'm not posting up any more info on that construction on WW either. Lots of folks interested in the way it rides, I think that the TWC event legitimized the tech and so now lots of people want to know the recipe.

its beyond my scope of work anyways but sure looks cool.

I just meant some like WW has, but it looks awesome

Hey Kona - too funny. I can can see you looking at the URL - "no, it says Tigeowners" The red railed springer build has TOO much info on the "secret sauce" that we've got dialed in. I may post up after the season when we get the next iteration worked out, but for now, I think I'll let folks just guess. It's like most things the devil is in the details.

I have to give James his credit, he's incredibly talented and skilled. The tech in that board allows him to fully utilize his talents/skills regardless of the wake quality.

[dogbert]

Probably more info than you wanted - but now you have some basis for assessing the quality of the ride of a board you are considering.

Quite the opposite. Now I know what to look for. Thanks!

[KonaKing]

Wow Jeff I thought I was on Sways

Great info and you should post some pics of your red springer build.

Surfdad, thank you so much for the pointers on the 3. The second time I tried it this weekend I stayed in the pocket. It was sweet. Everyone in the boat was suprised!! Thanks again.
