Gear Talk / Shorter New Deal

« on: August 09, 2020, 12:10:04 PM »

Has anyone tried the new shorter lengths of the New Deal from Infinity.  Guess we can say New New deal   I had the 9x28 loved it so wondering how the 8x28 would compare to it as it’s 1foot shorter but 3 letters less volume.  Also curious about the 8’6x29 so this is 6” shorter but 1 in wider an 10L more then the 9x28.  Guess the rails must be a little fuller on both these smaller sizes.

Classifieds / 9x28 infinity New Deal $1400

« on: November 26, 2019, 03:43:05 PM »

Selling my 9’x28” 104L Carbon Infinity New Deal. This board is a performance longboard SUP no question about it. It’s super fast with its width and very maneuverable with its rounded pin tail with stingers. I put on the high end RS pro tape with Shark design. It’s barely been ridden as I ride my smaller SUPs.  Small paddle ding repair on the nose glassed over at board shop just to be safe.   It retails for $2200 (with out $100) so it’s a great deal at $1400.  I’m in Florida on the space coast so you will have to come and get it. 

Videos to get you stoked on this awesome ride:

Gear Talk / Any feedback on the Blurr V2

« on: April 07, 2019, 05:18:10 PM »

Hi,
Looking to see if anyone got their hands on one of the new production Infinity Blurr V2  boards?  I’m on the edge and want to hear how others like it before putting in an order.  I love the pin tail on my 9x28 New Deal and hope it’s just as good on the V2.  I usually ride 100L boards and it puts me dead smack between the 7’11” and the 8’2”.  I owned a 2016 Starboard pro 7’7”x27”@95L so though the 7’11 comes in at 90L I think the step rail and flat deck will give me that extra stability to make it work.  Was also reading that it’s better to be under volume with the step rails to gain stability.  So does anyone have some feedback on this board you can post.

Thanks

Gear Talk / RSpro Cork on a SUP

« on: April 01, 2019, 03:58:31 PM »

OK I can't be the first one wondering how the new RSPRO cork front foot traction would work for the standing area on an SUP.  Granted you would probably have to combine 3 boxes to cover the extra width and length of the standing area.  I know it would still be hard on the feet.  Now Im using Wax and love the connection with the board but as soon as it gets warmer and its starting to here in FL the wax starts to pool up under your heals and leaves bare spots.  I take the wax out and reapply in the line up when its all gone its hard to get the bumps back.  So has anyone tried it yet?  Im sure if its a hit they would make it in wider sizes for us on the larger watercraft.

Thanks

Gear Talk / New Board narrowed to Starboard Pro OR JL Super Tech

« on: September 04, 2017, 12:47:54 PM »

Hi,
I'm now looking for a new board and have it Narrowed down to an 8'x28 Carbon Starboard Pro (2017) or the Jimmy Lewis 8'3x28.5" Carbon SuperTech.  I'm about 175 LBs and advanced paddler.  I have a 2016 7'7" Starboard I use when it's super clean and also have a few custom Cannibal SUPs around the 90-100L mark.  I want to use this next one in OH conditions and chop and slop fun.  I like the pulled in tail and nose on the Starboard Pro but I also like that the Jimmy Lewis Super Tech is thinner overall.  Has anyone ridden both these boards that can give me their feedback.  Please don't throw in any new options as i like both boards and want to make the purchase soon. Thanks....

Gear Talk / Backup Fins for Raw-1

« on: July 06, 2016, 09:28:33 AM »

Hi,
Picked up a Focus 8'4" Raw-1 and love this board.  I want to make sure I keep her in the water so I want to get a set of back up fins for this board.  I know I could look through the Futures catalog and find some nice fins but I see a few people here have have the Raw-1 so I though I would ask for advice.  Sure I can get another set of Rawson fins but if others found something that makes this great ride even better Im thinking why not give it a try.  Im 5'11" and weighing in about 170-175 lbs.  The board is a little big for me but got it on a trade and think worst case it could be my big board and maybe get another smaller version.

Thanks...

Gear Talk / Centerfin box 1/4 in off

« on: April 19, 2016, 08:08:01 PM »

Had a Centerfin box placed into a board that only had quads sort of as a training wheel for some choppy days on this low volume board.  They put it in perfectly flush and you can nearly tell it was added after. The problem is it's exactly 1/4 in closer to one side than the other when measuring to the side fins.  So will 1/4 in make any difference?   It's such a good job I hate to have it taken out and redone as it may not look as great as it does now. If the 1/4in is a big deal I guess I'll take the chances.  Looking forward to feedback.

Thank you.

Gear Talk / Fin Suggestion to surf 14' 404 V3 in 2.5-3ft conditions

« on: April 14, 2016, 04:49:50 PM »

Im new to this race board surfing and would like to get a Fin recommendation to outfit my 14'x27 404 V3.  Im using the FCS hybrid today but think there is a better option for surfing this thing.  No flat water use needed with this fin.

Gear Talk / Guy Takayama SUP

« on: October 27, 2015, 01:24:34 PM »

Had a chance to ride the Guy Takayama SUPs. 
These are some fun boards.  Volume seems low for the size (118L @ 9')and have some nice thinned out rails.
