That's a great review, thanks for posting. A buddy of mine is all charged up about getting the 5.5 HIPE as his full time SUP foil board, and I sent this to him to review before he pulls the trigger. Lots of good pros and cons, and it'll give him a good idea if the thinks it'll work for him in the surf or not. 
Me: 6'1"/185...(2) 5'1" Kings Foil/Wing Boards...7'10 Kings DW Board...9'6" Bob Pearson "Laird Noserider"...14' Lahui Kai "Manta"...8'0" WaveStorm if/when the proning urges still hit.

Ya, 3S... that busiess about using 'house-spec' screws and 'We do not make mistakes' are two major mistakes. I still suspect they grudgingly sell into the States. We—the country—have certainly thrown enough shade their way in the near past.   

.... 'remember that dumb-c'hit about 'Freedom Fries' and the 25% duties on a 'cultural backbone' - wine.  ...which was proposed to go to 100% this year.   Maybe they have a little 'tude.

Thanks for the review!! I have a 5’3” HIPE on the way along with a 9 m wing. Jamie has been a huge help in support.

Handle for the GONG inflato....   ' not sure is the bulk/drag is only visual but seems clearly easier to carry.
