This must be some kind of record
but the challenge is set to see who can Dock start a longer board. C'mon JB
. The overall weight is the issue (13.3kg), the board just drops and sinks as soon as it hits the water , so forward momentum is the key . Took at least 10 attempts before I even got my feet to the board working out the launch plus the 1300 is so wide it kept hitting the dock. I did have the foil almost all the way forward in the 16" Chinook boxes , but ended up with them way back . Seems wrong but it obviously worked. This video is my first actual return run , I still struggle to deal with the size of the 1300 but I'm getting there. Didn't help that I was out on my 4-3 prone and 800 Cab (5.5kg) an hour before I tried this. ![]()
Board:- DC 8-0 x 21 x 120 Litre Harpoon
Axis 1300 PNG , 75 Alu Mast , Short Fuse & 475p tail (I call this my cheater rig
)
Yeah certainly does but much smaller board , 7-6 x 14 and would be heaps lighter . I'll never catch Nathan though ![]()
Why is your board so heavy? 13.3 kg is extremely heavy!
13.3kg is not the weight of the board, it is board + alu foil.
Good for you Piros. Someone once said "Lose the weight and try harder!"
You're doing a great job! ![]()
Haha can't believe you remember that. Here's the Bloopers reel , it's all in those first few steps.
I've tried it , ridiculously hard . I'm no where near it . When you watch the bloopers video when I push off the Sacrab across the canal I try it
