thanks guys. so do you think the 6'10 round tail or my 7'2" squash would be a decent 7'-10' board? is it a good shape or should i look at something else? are the round tails and squash identical except for the tail. or are they shaped different throughout? that photo looks a lot more sleek in the tail than my squash
Guys, Have fun chasing big Waves (and Liability), whereas at my age now, I am purely a spectator at anything Over Double Over Head ++. I cannot stay in shape nor have the time (due to young growing family) chasing that rare big wave window. More serious injuries occur when you are beyond your mental and physical capacity. All my boards now and future boards will all be targeting the average to moderate size waves for my Realm. I sold all my rhino chasers earlier last year. (7-2, 7-6, 7-10 and 8-4) A couple of them only ridden 3 times.
fritzkat is getting sensible (old and wise) like me...!!!
I think the 6'10" round tail Alternator might be "just" ok, but I suspect it will carry more tail volume and width than ideal for a 2x overhead+ board.
I'm also now looking only for boards for up to 2x overhead, which means a 2 or 3 board quiver (plus longboard etc) should be more than enough.
yeah. i draw the line at 10' so i'm not looking for anything crazy. does anyone know if the squash and round tail alternators are identical except for the very edge of the tail?
We are going to be introducing an artillery series sometime this spring summer and it will consist of guns and step ups. that will help!
Oh shiiiii....
I didn't see that coming
awesome!!!!! avail. this spring?
Sweet!!! One suggestion, if you guys could offer multiple widths and thickness in each of the lengths in standard increments, that would be great.
It seems like this happens in some of the flexfires but not all, and some of the jumps are pretty big and sort of skip what you'd think would be a regular increment.
Like a 6'6" step up in:
6'6 x 18 3/4 x 2 3/8
6'6 x 19 x 2 1/2
6'6 x 19 1/4 x 2 5/8
