A tow board question
Hey Roy, how long is that stick?Looks kinda long for a tow in?Yes although we've cut the length down a bit on that one now to 5'8".I saw Greg Long take a terrible wipeout at Jaws and it was obvious that his board was at fault. I won't go into details but I think I can make much better tow boards than what he's riding. . and his boards are typical of what's being ridden.
One of the big problems they have is insufficient tail behind the riding position. I'm in favour of longer pintails in the 7 foot range .The pure tunnel board is more in line with the short wider tailed parallel railed boards which are common at present ( and which garrett rides ) except of course in the fin department.I'm pleased to see that our parallel profile innovation is being adopted to a large extent in tow boards.
