Little Jeeter gets RSPed

[PonoBill]

Buying three boxes of RSP was probably a mistake. It's like having lawyers on retainer or a nuclear weapon--you're tempted to use them. So Little Jeeter, my lovely hollow carbon SIC Kunalu, just got the RSP treatment too. I also did a tail handle recently since I surf the thing sometimes. The tail handle is good for windsurfing too--makes it easier to carry the board.

Of course as easy as RSP is to transfer, I can just consider this a handy place to store it.

Whoa, that's a fun looking board Is there a thread about this somewhere? If not, what are the dimensions etc, please? What's it made for?

It's hollow molded, the first board Mark Raaphorst designed. 12'2" X 26" (I measured 25.5 but Mark says 26). It was designed initially as a surfboard, but the low rocker, parallel rails and squash nose and tail make it very fast in the surfboard race class. It's identical to the Starboard 12'2" -- which was a licensed copy but it EPS instead of hollow. I consider it the most versatile SUP board ever--sails great, surfs well, fast in flatwater, fun for downwinders.

I got this to do downwinders with it, but I've been too entranced by my new Bullet V1 to use it. Instead I surfed on it a couple of times last year and had a blast with it. Not very stable, but tons of fun.
