Anyone have any experience with these , i like the look of these boards.They look fast.
Jimmy’s new 12’6 Slice race board design is the fastest board in it’s class. The sleek displacement hull has lots of vee in the nose to break up the nastiest chop, and a flatter mid-section for speed and stability. The edges are very round from front to back for maximum speed.
It’s as capable in monster swells as it is on flat water if you’re experienced. It catches waves easily so you can ride the bumps for long periods. For a true down wind board, check out the Albatross.
The slightly recessed standing area keeps the center of gravity low for a fast, stable and comfortable ride.
It has great speed for touring long distances and if you want to race, this is the board for you!
Only master shaper Jimmy Lewis could shape a board with such clean lines and refined curves as seen on this board – its lines are pure beauty and the performance matches its looks.
Rider ability: Intermediate to advanced (lightweight beginners will have no problem with this shape).
For fast boards that are more stable, check out the Albatross. , Sabre 14 or the Blade
Rider weight: All
Dimensions: 12’6 X 29
Volume: 285 litres
if they have the same attention to detail as the surfing series range of sup's jimmys designed and built they have to be fricken !!!!!!!! wicked but I'm a one eyed JL fan he just makes super fun high stoke boards rock on jimmy rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah the Blade does look more stable , the slice may look tippy although it is designed for the surf , where the blade id designed for flats.Any way id like to try one if any one has one.
Really nice , i like these boards for no other reason than they look fast , and i like the nose shape. Do you know how stable the 12,6 is in surf conditions?I.E bop style races in out through shore break.
I like the look of the 14 but i think its a go no where class , 12,6 and 16 , 17 Ft for me.
Can you also tell me where i can demo one , im on the Goldcoast.
Cheers
