Jarrod taking the unsanded 14' x 24" flat water needle for a spin in the dam.
He's worked out two methods of turning the board.
It Looks fast....feels fast.....maybe it is fast? (It goes faster bacwards)
Might try it in the river tomorrow....I tried a bit of a sprint in the dam.....took off fast.... got a bit carried away.....couldnt stop .....ran into the bank....board stoped dead.....I kept going....landed face first in the mud!
Too bad Jarrod wasnt filming

Nice Dean.. I'll come down tomorrow and we'll take it for a spin.. Did it feel faster than the 20'er?.. Tippy?

Yes, it did move with very little effort, It will be interesting to get it in the river.
& yes it is tippy as you would expect for 24" wide displacement, But I think after min on it, that would be overcome.
What time can I expect you?

Late morning Dean by the time I miss peak hour traffic going through the city.

I'll try and talk Jonathan into coming with his new Starboard Pin.
