I would much rather purchase a FSM!

perhaps a little more rocker on the slingshot?
I feel like less rocker is the way to go - that nose rocker is just plowing through the water on takeoff
what's your feeling Dwight?

Actually, the straight tail holds the nose down, so it requires MORE nose rocker than a kick tail board.

Dwight, 100% it does. Almost as much as my next board will. 😂

Glad to see the industry catching up. But yeah, let it be known where that came from. I still have a message from 7 years ago where you told me to keep it simple and work with flat bottoms. Who could have known where that would lead?

This stuff looks nice. Man the gear just gets better and better.

+1!

Good wing boards were super hard to come by early in the pandemic and it was great to have Dwight delivering cutting edge boards when the supply chain was overwhelmed.

Dwight, are you still building boards?  I noticed your website is down.  If not, the new Axis boards also look good.

I’m retired. I recommend the new Axis or Sky boards.
