Demo day at Ocean Grove.
Here's a close look at how they do that duel thickness deck pad.
Love that new fin.
Love the look of that pintail 14.
Hmmmmm.. Wax on the deck of the board in front of the deck pad.. I heard the new boards will have a longer deck pad so you can stand more forward if you want to without the need for wax.
I had my fat bike there and went for a cruise up the beach before we all went around to the river to demo some flat water boards.
New shape 14 vs the old 14 behind it with the red paint sanded off.
Looks even better sitting on the water.. Check out the rocker.
It felt great to paddle.. Slightly more stable than the 14' Jav .. It had a quick initial tip like the Jav but the secondary stability felt better.. I still think the Jav is slightly quicker in dead flat water but throw in some chop and bumps and I'm sure this new Fanatic would shine.
I then spotted something yellow on the beach that made me go.. Oooh.. Please can I paddle that.
That MC Jav should come with a sand bag to rest on the board in case you want to leave it on the beach.. Just in case a slight gust of wind comes along.. It's soooooo light... and so nice to paddle even if it is the same shape as the old Jav.
