Flexifoil Hadlow 138




First ride and look at the 2011 Flexifoil Hadlow Pro.
For 2011 we have a new Hadlow board from flexifoil,
With the mix of a 5x times world champions input and Colin McCulloch Shape and Design you can expect a pretty special board.
First thing is the board only comes in 138x40cm same size dimensions Aaron rides. (A 135 and 132cm will be available later).
Looking around the board you will notice a caped bottom, this has allowed them to give the board a shed load of rocker for heavy landings and punching through chop with out killing the planing ability. The cap is flatter then boards rocker and has a large concave giving it lots of get up and go.
Graphics of the board have been kept simple but still have a premium look and finish.

On the Water the Flexifoil Hadlow 138 tracks very well, railing the Hadlow over allows you to track in very straight lines and it cuts up wind way better then any thing shorter. With help from the new fin design, you can break the tip and tail out to the side easier than the boards edging ability would have you think.
With the board being 138cm, it's swinging weight for the lighter rider could become a problem but with the light weight construction and wide stance you really dont notice it is a larger board.

All the benefits of a longer board (early planing, up wind ability, Control through chop and waves, easy landings.) with all the benefits of a smaller board (Over powered control, maneuverability, and Coolness)

Slingshot Bamboo Pit 5'3"

The Snow and cold weather has brought in some pretty windy conditions and plenty of swell for the brave to make use of there winter wetsuits and Waves boards.

From the shop here we managed to get out on the new slingshot pit 5'3,
The board came set and ready to ride with a tri fin set up and Fastrack strap mounting system complete with its straps and pads.

A common problem with Surfboards is interests strapping after adjusting or removing footstraps for strapless sessions. The new Fasttrack system (first found on Burton snowboard) eliminates and strapping problems and gives you more strap and pad ajustement then any other board.

On the Water the Small little pit is very stiff, but with only 5'3 of length the board really gets away with it still leaving minimal bounce throw the chop.
With the board so short and slim and plenty of nose rocker punching throw and hitting aerials into and out of the wave with lots of control easy.
Riding with straps on the board gives you just as much grip and control of a over powed kite like a small twintip would.

The Pit wont replace a good flexible 6" strapless board for riding surf in moderate winds.
But riding maxed out on a small kite in large surf and chop is were this board is fun and out performs every thing else.

The Pit will definitely be keep-ed in the quiver of boards the staff ride and use on a day to day basis.
