Wave SUP

Just an update. Traded straight across the 7'10"x31" 110L Fanatic AllWave for the 8'3"x32" 120L Fanatic AllWave. The 110L was just too small. It practically sunk when I moved on it even in flat water. I think that 120L for me...at 170 l bs, but still new to wave SUPing is perfect...

Fees

Havent read much of this thread..... But it is proven that sometimes if you charge less you actually collect more. ie if personal tax rates are too high....people stop working, or stop reporting income. So total tax revenues go down. But when you lower tax rates, then you don't kill incentive to wor...

Gecko

I have the firemove 110 ltr. Dido KC7777 results. I have slimmed down from my 235lbs to 210 lbs but at both weights it was very stable for me, only now I think I could uphaul it if i had to. I am running a much smaller fin (24cm) than what it comes with stock, even with my 6.0, just the 24cm. Truck...

Quick Gecko 120L review

Got to Nitinat last weekend and took the new 120L Fanatic Gecko out for a couple of days: Purpose of this board was to replace my 120L Hawk/7.0M combo. I disliked 7.0M sailing (sail too big, often feels heavy when underpowered, need both a bigger boom (>200cm) and bigger mast (460cm) which is a wast...

Gecko

So....I was down skiing Mt Hood again.....saw my Fanatic Gecko siiting there at GSS. Adam said I could have it for $1,400US. Cheaper than original price. And I sold my flatwater SUP for $1,200. Decided I wanted it for light wind on the island with a 6.1 Ezzy. Frickin' wide and thin. Will post a repo...
