Axis boards 2014 and review on TKB

[braveman]

You guys! It has been a while and no answer
Anyways I was able to find this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuG2Wi8VWq4

The flexible surf is VERY interesting.

braveman I haven't decided yet if I like your avatar or does it make my eyes hurt, but for sure it's an interesting choice

That flex on the first wave board does seem like a new one. I know the North Wam had some flex into the front of the board but don't think it was that much.
Wonder how it performs.

Haha ! Well' it's me in the Avatar.... on Halloween.... not really, just pulling your leg I don't believe i can fit in a suit like that.

Hopefully tomorrow i will get to demo a newwave

[braveman]

WOW WOW WOW
Guys, The new wave is by far the most fun board I have ever tried.
I took it for a spin not before the rep asked me to try and make it short because there was a bit of a line for demoing it. When he signaled me to come back I tried to convince him that I want to buy this specific board and that i'll keep riding for a while
Ended up ordering one on the spot and in 2 weeks I'll have the beauty in my hands (and a big headache from the wife).

It is truly, an amazing and fun, so much fun, board

Here, the demo gear sits on the beach (on the rare occasions they happen) because the reps are too indifferent to letting the gear out

Sales... easier to get when you've had the product in hot sweaty hands. Something to think about...

braverman what did you like about it so much ? can you put your finger on it?

Kamikuza, sounds weird. where I am from reps invite you to test gear all the time.

[Kamikuza]

Because Japan. It varies - some you ask and it's no problem; others, you have to beg

Apparently, the numbers of kiters in Japan has been declining, and can barely be measured triple figures might have something to do with the prices...?

Unreal flex in that video...me want.... me want...

[braveman]

Ok Ben,
So first of all what I found so impressing is how fun the board is and this is the most important thing for me.
Other things I liked so much-
* The flex and astrodeck make it very user friendly.
* It feels lightweight.
* The round rails work perfectly, the grip is there for freestyle and also there is enough volume to get going early enough.
* The connection I had to this board was immediate. No adjustment time at all.
* It seems unbreakable due to the flex
* It's different and even unique

Mmm... hope I can get a demo when I go back to NZ in Feb.
