Tandem downwinding is extremely hard, never mind with double that number. Even the biggest board can suddenly feel very unstable. You'll need huge discipline and co-ordination. But what a wonderful challenge!

found this picture of us seeing of to race them back in the summer, great fun, 3 up is the best power to weight ratio they are significantly harder than the mega sup to keep every one standing. Down wind will be interesting to see how effective it will be and if it will stay on a bump.

If Jamie O can ride a inflatable rubber ducky over the falls at pipe then certainly Pono and crew can take this on a Maliko run.😉If nothing else, it will take our minds off the election news for a bit. Just mount ten gopros  on the beast and make the next downwinder tutorial.

I'm thinking it will probably be mostly Pocahontas canoe paddling, but we'll see. The box is at Ponohouse. Thanks Green Water for the prompt shipment.

Bill,
  Get a Schraeder valve adaptor....everything else takes too long

  Can put in rocker....at 10PSI with weights on it overnite....This is how Brian K does it

  Have a blast....i went squatch, but i think thinner might be mo fun
Too many for the rack
Some in the shack
Some under decks
Some have straps

Carnage:

so the worst we did so far is run over a tweener....that was ok, but his board went to port, and he went to starboard, so the leash could have tethered him under....it didn't (well...maybe a litttle)... but i made me realize that that could be bad

Also the little brats love to use it as a diving platform after they claim a wave, and i'm like "Dude...it's shallow!

The paddles can hurt!  JOB team using helmets more

Surf steering best with Churchill fins...I tried Outrigger style with the paddle, but not effective on the Squatch...Competent adults on the Dragon might be better

Remind sme of Windsurfer(tm) days, how we'd add rocker. But in noon sun
