i rode the swing and liked it a lot! it carves sooooo good in my opinion. i was trying wake2wake stuff with it the other day and was able to cut harder, get more speed, and pop higher than i can with my bi-lev. BUT! im 6'1 and over 200 pounds and i think the board is too short for me. when im in the air on it i feel way uncomfortable. i had problems landing big time! sooo...i'll stick with my 42 bi-lev for a while i think Smile

ya i have one. Ive heard alot of diff things about them. I like mine but sometimes it feels like the rails of the board are almost even w/ the water.

warlock, You bastard, i wanted to buy those boards. lol, jk man. I told my friend about that ebay deal and he was gonna purchase them. I don't know if he did or not thow.

Anyways, i have a swing also. I can't wait to get up on it. Both times we went our boats were to small. A 9.9 and a 13hp (it was worth the try). BUT NOW WE GOT A BOAT AND THE SECOND FRIDAY HITS (after me xray) I WILL BE RIDDING THAT SH*T TILL SATURDAY MORNING!!!! I can't wait!!!!!

NOPIDY, your going to have a fun day, hope your xray goes well...

kento, do you ride that board finless? i was looking at the micros fins if i bought any... i've been tinkering w/ the idea of drilling some holes in my cassette's fins... anyway. i called tdc and talked w/ them once i won them on the auction. i didn't catch the guys name but he seemed nice enough on the phone... answered the few questions i had and snip snap.. shippin those beotches my way..

so they have a non slip top w/ out grip tape?? i'm guessing on teh same premis as putting silica in the paint on your garage floor???? for $80 bucks shipped... i figured it was about the only way i was going to get to ride anything other that the 4 trac... so i bit Wink

mine were just gripless, as in they needed grip, but TDC didnt give me any, I waxed up the finholes on mine and put like 4 coats of clear laquer on it, b/c the tips and tails have a habit of delamming on those

Ill try to post pics of it tonight. . .I also got my old cassette #D back, so I re did it as well it looks Saweet now all black with clear grip so you can see the sexy wood grain

10-4 post us some pics

would wood filler puddy be ok to use in the holes? then laquer? should i put some extra clear on this board to keep it from delaming?

i'm trying to find some camo grip tape Smile

i filled up some spots on my board with wodfiller than painted it and sealed it. but where i filled it the paint came off and took out the filler when i rode it. it only happened in those spots

i hate it. i post my opinion in another topic somewheres....i think NoPidy started it. maybe.

anyways i find it weird that so many others like it, cuz i thought it was the anti christ. mine had no pop whatsoever and was so unstable when riding perpendicular to direction of travel.....lol, as in boardslides and shizzle. those were my two problems. maybe ill go back this weekend and ride it after riding my integrity for the past while, and see what i think.

seven11dmd, was it a 7 ply or a 9 ply, b/c I rode the 7 ply a long time ago and it didnt do shizzle but my new one is a 9 and it gives me a chubb I hit 3 shuvs in a row, a bs 1 and I bounced out on a 3 shuv ICE frikin cold no warm up, thats un heard of for me Im mister inconsistancy

seven11dmd · Posted: Jun 07, 2005 5:33 pm Post subject:

ill count it this weekend, im pretty sure its 9 tho, maybe cuz mine delamed really fast? i dunnnnno. im mister inconsistency on that board, but getting really consistent on my integ team...to each his own

here you go my Swing and the Cassette 3D that I just refinished, both have been coated with 3-4 coats of Varithane, and had the fin holes sealed
