Gear Talk / just paddled a round with my new crash vest

« on: September 18, 2013, 08:24:17 AM »

hi guys, i never owned such a thing. here in germany many people use protective vests, because they are nice and cosy. so i went  and bought a ion vector. its really cool, sorry, warm! feels good. i am  pretty happy. i really hate, when the cold wind  cools my wet chest. that is a good cure. it is comfortable too. later in the waves, it will be  good against  boards crashing into me.

Gear Talk / first impressions of my new nalu 10,65 gs on flatwater

« on: May 30, 2013, 10:24:25 AM »

hi guys,
yesterday i  finally got a nalu and today i took the first flatwaterride with that thing. i can tell you that this board trew me  into the water many times. on my other boards i could walk around. not on this racehorse. it is really sensitive. guess it will take me  a while to master that board.  i am very glad i got it two months before i hit the oceanwaves  with it. it reacts  really strong to weightshifting  on the rails.  this will keep me  entertained for quite  a while i guess.
 aloha,
 eddie

Gear Talk / opinions on the starboard whopper please

« on: March 21, 2013, 12:41:35 AM »

hello and aloha fron supercold germany,
still dreaming about waves and sun. is the whopper, 9x34 a foolproof board in small and medium waves and choppy waters? right now i ride a 10,6 x29 board which is a bit tricky to ride. will the shorter board be more fun, can i catch more? noseriding possible?
thanks, eddie

Gear Talk / what is the word on the starboard hero?

« on: March 18, 2013, 02:15:14 PM »

hi folks, i am considering a shorter and wider board for the coming  summer. small waves, maybe i get better. an expert told me, the hero 29x33 would be fine. i weight  round 85 kilos. any other  suggestions? thanks for letting me dream, eddie

Hi guys, i think a something like a 5/3mm neoprensuit will be my next new thing to buy. My old one is showing holes. Is there a material that wont feel so cold when the windchill sets in? Or other good advice?  Thanks, eddie

Hi guys, what do you think about these for paddling? Or is a traditional drysuit better? Eddie
