Thanks,

@Coolas. You mean the XTR Freak, not Soul?

Yes, the paddle speed going through wind is soo much better with a narrow board. 26"- 28" must be amazing.

Ok, maybe just a 9'4 to start with and then complement later on?
Any pictures on the new Soul?

If you want to have a bigger range, of course a Scares new model plus a XTR 9'2 would be insane. But in this case the question is why a Scares ? A classic single fin could offer you more natural speed, better noserides and style. , Which is the best classic single fin for me in 0-2m waves?? The XTR...

I am excited about this new board shape! But I also want a real classic noserider for slow and windy. More narrow than the NFA9 to keep good speed in slow waves. I have an old 10' x 28" which has a very nice glide and speed, but too much volume for me and the edges are too thick. I will sell the NFA...

Superb !!!! very classy

I Agree!

Matte, if it means less work in the factory and it is better for the environment, and/or people in the factory?

It is better for me, less scratches to worry about and easier repairs.

My only concern is that a Railsaver-sticker must be able to stick to the rail surface.

Bamboo on both sides OR red bottom and black top.

Matte red is ok, it does not have to be shiny like a mirror.

It is too much with bamboo. You have red, black, camo-pad already on the board. Bamboo, in two colours, is at least one too many patterns on one board.

If you have a black pad then the deck gets all black which is an improvement. But with camo light colour pad, no thankyou. Too messy in my taste!

Ok, just like I thought! The softboard she is using is actually narrower, just 20 3/4 wide, and to soft in the rocker since it lack a stringer. The Mitch will be a big leap forward in her surfing ability. And 21" makes the paddling very fast which is good for beginners. Yes, I see that Mitch has mor...

I am considering this as the forst "real" surfboard for my wife. 55kg and 155cm. She can take-off in soft waves, thats it. Is there a better board in the Gong-range? The Batmob seems to have to big volume, or? The board will also be a complement to my 9' longboard for me (63kg, 179cm, beginner-inter...

Crazy board. I like it!
Crazy shaper?! I like it!

Keep up the good work!

Yes, of course I forgot the pit stop in Pornichet. The Baie paddle event was fun, and to meet you all was very nice. The boards we surfed during the week was Cloud, Empire, O.D and two custom longboards. The boards were perfect in these waves. Especially the O.D is such a funny, exciting board. Can ...

I think helicoils are not good. Material thickness in the upper side if really small. Helicoils are cylindrical, you have to cut the metal inset after the installing the hole. If you cut the helicoil before you cannot install that one. You can use M5 tap with M5 grub to restore the box without resi...

Thanks alot! Excellent instruction.

Have anyone tried metal inserts, e.g Helicoils?

The second trip to France this year, and second surfing trip ever for me to lovely France was a blast! Unreal surfing conditions the whole week!! :shock: Light off shore winds or no wind at all! Long period swell, perfect size for for us (1-2m 10-14sec Humberto). 25+ degrees. Completely glassy every...

Oooh aaaah glassy!!
