RE: RC Surfer
Hi Maui John,
Just go to page 37 and you will find everything you need to know.
You will probably have to resize your pic.
There is info on how / where to do that too.
Good Luck, it is easy.

RE: RC Surfer
Gave the new mods a test today but so frigging windy
really not sure if better or not yet, I hope so cause it was a lot of cutty sandy glassy gluey etc etc etc (enough to make skowowski happy)
will hopefully give it another go on Friday maybe the wind will die down and rain will stop and the waves will be perfect lol!
Have a good one

RE: RC Surfer
Hi guys,
Had a great surf at the same spot from my last video, got it was almost the same but less windy and with a bigger fin. It was a blast, some reverses, one roll, and managed to go inside a huge hollow barrel, but a bounce made it jump and it sinked it's nose. I think if that wave wasn't so close to the shore it would come out of it perfectly. this board seems to hold it's line really well as long as the wave doesn't bounce... I think there's good things to come with this board!
No footage today, a friend of mine borrowed my camera for a week...

RE: RC Surfer
gday lads
been busy over the past couple of days building a board again while im off work.
i got a board a while ago but it had rusted nuts ,when i tryed to screw them out the other day the bolts turned inside the plastic and broke the towers. lucky i had old hull laying round so i chopped the broken ones out and glassed in some new ones. hopefully it holds up :- /.
Shes ready to roll tho.....im running a 1800kv with 3s with 35mm prop with this one to see if i can get a long run time. done pretty much every mod apart from any tail or rail mods.hopefully she surfs like my 2s board did.
ill try get some footage of its first run ,if my missus will come with her canon 550d dslr.

RE: RC Surfer
Great waves this morning, still a bit too windy but who cares! I'm really starting to pull out the manouvers, even with not so perfect conditions, but still a great training for when the good waves come!
There's more in the afternoon, bats charging up!!
