Re: Covid vaccine

Yup, that sums it up for the "feels". Let me sum up the reality for you. Millions of years of evolution, with ever changing exposure to new and old viruses, but in 2020 we are ready to remove ourselves from that due to a virus with a death rate of less than 2% of all individuals and less than .05% ...

Re: Covid vaccine

Even Boris has come to see that and now they have closed schools and universities and a complete lockdown, again. Their only hope is to make this lockdown work to slow the spread, a...

Re: Impact Vests in 2020/21 - A focus on rib protection

Nitrous Shorts Harneess and Dakine Impact vest with wetsuit in winter and sometimes nothing else in summer, across all the water sports I participate in, windsurfing, Kite and sailing race boats. They do provide impact resistance, they also afford a degree of flotation but without so much you can't ...

Re: Carbon vs Wood made boards

"Quite a few folks" are very, very shy about the actual board building. Not boats. Boards. Not snowboards either. Or skis. If u think CF TT is not a pure profit maker, I would love to read why u think that? What is the performance benefit of CFTT? What is envronmental impact of CFTT, providing this...

Re: top brand .. what does it mean? (about Duotone)

All manufacturers occasionally produce cosmetic '2nds' and certainly back in the day when I worked for the old North, now Duotone, these were sent to the former iron curtain countrys, where price was more of a necessity than cosmetic excellence. Not saying it still goes on today, but wouldn't be sur...

Re: Carbon vs Wood made boards

It's designed not to resist bending, but to enhance the process. Please explain this. Let me give you another example of glass carbon combinations working in the way I'm describing. Sailboat and Windsurf masts oh and pole vault poles... The idea in the former at least, I don't profess to have any e...

Re: Carbon vs Wood made boards

Carbon is used for its rapid return to centre properties as much as its stiffness, so you get more kick to your ollies. It's designed not to resist bending, but to enhance the process. Oh and when you jump off that bridge, if your using a board, be sure to go for a tail (or nose) first landing, ther...
