 Fri Dec 04, 09 4:59 am What is your favorite Surfboard set-up? On Top |
 |
|
This past summer was the strapless 6-2 tri fin sst/slingy. I had this notion that it was only fun on lighter days, but I was wrong. The best day I've ever had was at Rufus on a 6rpm and the 6-2 sst, strapless.
I realized this summer that the fun of kiting without straps was a higher kite. Less twin tip loading and jumping, and more paying attention to the board and doing a completely different set of tricks.
So what about you?

try a smaller board for river swell
I have a slingy 156 2002 twintip that I re-attached the footpads with Gorrilla glue that comes a close second to your board - but yours wins!

Hey, I got sick of wax all over my car. I bought a sheet and figured that the less edges I had the less chance for it to peel off.
I'm feeling sort of vulnerable with you guys laughing at my board. I think it's only fair that you post pics of your boards too.
LOL
GFY

Dude I WISH I owned that board...
Any time I hear the word 'more' followed by a 2 syllable word I think "more cowbell".
Its a sickness.

Who's tried a fat twinzer?

This is just a poorly veiled attempt to draw attention to your board for sale.
http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-16166.html
And I just helped you.
BTW, I have a brand new '09 SST for sale for $450, and a slightly used one for $275. PM me.
