Jet-We discovered when you ride it like a surfboard and not a wakeboard, it actually cuts some pretty quick sharp turns. Its all in how you ride.
Ah you forgot grasshoppa..I was a surfer before I became a wakeboarder. Splinter has much work to do with you. lol
how was ya'lls trip?? No pic's, no stories??
01launch,
Here is a thread I started. I would love any help you could offer.

Jet,
You are crazy as always. Are you telling me that ALL the top riders just don't know what they are doing? The only boards that are being ridden are shaped that way. I guess all the pros are clueless and they just need to place a call to In Gear to clear up what they should really be riding. Any pro out there that needs a quick lesson from Jet, PM me. I will give you his number. :p
Damn..tuff crowd. Its just preference man. And as far as the paid Pro's, If I paid you as a pro to endorse and ride my newly shaped hot dog wiener you would jump on it, good product or not. You think Dale Jr only drank Budweiser?? Nope. A surfboard is like a sports car, not a fat slow turning station wagon. A real surfer wants speed and sharp turns..you know, a surfer! Can i make a tube turn a little bit dragging my leg off? Yes,,but it isn't a fast turning sports car, its just a fat stupid tube being pulled around on top of the water, you need BITE to turn fast and be stable so you can make the board go where you want it, not the board telling you where to go. Its like driving your car on ice, Its fun for a while but after some time you want some assurance that your tires will stick and the car will do what you ask of it. Just my .01 cents. Call me when you start building it and i will help out..sounds fun. : )
surfboard techy stuff:
Generally, sharper and lower rail line designs are used for large or steep and hollow conditions. In these waves, the rail is needed to bite more into the wave so the board can remain stable at faster speeds. Sharper rails are also needed if sweeping turns are planned that use more rail than fin.
I sooooooooo feel sorry for Laura.
Will start the build soon. Guess its time to winterize.
I will beat you later..lol
