hey ho bro's.

The creative juices are about to flow. So its time to build another mutant.

This one will be more big wave focused.

Hit me with your ideas.

What would be good characteristics for a wave oriented TT?

I am toying with making my own TT, except I reckon you would need to vacuum bag for min wt, and haven't done that before.

Mako King "knock-off" or is there a better recipe?

The Alkita type looks good? Many peoples out there shelled out for one like Cauncys'?

Ok blokes for those weirdo's that enjoy a good TT or mutant wave session lets discuss some moves you like doing.

One that i'm really enjoying the hell out of at the mo is this.

imagine cross on wind with a nice swell period in between waves.

Crank as fast as possible on the flat water to the wave lip healside (backwards on a mutant).
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST as high as possible.
add what ever tweak or oldstyle move your comfortable doing on a monster boost.
As your blasting through the air you spot the next wave forming in front of you.
Redirected for a rocket fast down wind landing.
Switch the board to toeside
land superfast on the next wave face while fishpoling the bar for downloop.

Crank down the line like a bullet or (my personal favourite) throw the mother of all high speed bottom turns and blast back upwind.

Ahhh.. lots of fun. It doesn't happen too often that I can time landing on the next wave face. but when I can.... ohh that's the holy grail!

Not a review, but a request for info... right forum?

Was out on Sunday on my 10m and Flydoor but the wind dropped... I could still get upwind, just wasn't having epic jumps so I started playing in the waves.

Which got me wanting a directional... but today, I was riding my Mako 150 and wondering if the King would be a better board for someone who isn't a surfer at all but wants to play in small (1-2m) waves...?

Whaddya reckon?
