Gear Talk / Sneak Peek with Mick Di Betta on Probox 4 Fin Race set-up

« on: October 11, 2016, 10:33:46 AM »

Super stoked that Mick likes the Probox Sup 4 Fin Race set up along with a clean first time install by Dale Chapman.

Review from:
Mick Di Betta added 4 new photos.
12 hrs · Gold Coast, QLD, Australia ·
First DW testing on my new board with Larry W. Allison fin system was nothing short of amazing in super ugly onshore Northerly winds the board was a joy to ride. I had some good company with UL boards and rudders and the board held its own, so for an average Sup paddler in those conditions I have no idea why you would not go with this Larry W Allison 4some fin system .
I'm so convinced that the gains in stability and speed you get for the fin system will enhance any board design out there.
You have to work hard on a well structured training plan to get these type of % gains.
I'm that convinced I will be designing the next board around this fin design so the average to below average paddle can feel the glide and stability of a narrower board and the Good to Elite paddlers can ride boards very narrow without giving up speed because of instability. Thanks Larry W Allison look forward to the next stage.

Gear Talk / Lahui Kai Comparison Review

« on: September 16, 2016, 06:36:21 PM »

Met the owner of a 12'6" JM Lahui Kai who bought a 7"Stinger from me. Another friend we paddle with Corey was riding my Lahui Kai that I retro fitted with a Allison 4 fin Race set up. The pic below shows Steve riding a Single Fin and Corey riding the same board with a Allison 4 fin Race set up.

So we did a side by side test comparison of the identical Lahui Kai Boards as seen in the pic below.

Gear Talk / DRAFTING in a Race, can you do something about it?

« on: June 01, 2014, 03:10:18 PM »

Yes there is something you can do! Unlike a single fin where water crosses sucking the tail down creating a vacuum which allows the paddler behind you to get a free ride. This video shows what happens when your board is set up with ProBox Twins.
