Sorry to have offended you, did not mean to sound so negative. I started with two Chinese Lisa's. i agree They are a good inexpensive way to see if you like the hobby,, the only problem is unless your jimi, you get water in it and shorts out,,, we are hoping the auseys are going to make one that works right out of the box,

I took offense when a neewbe on his third post to our forum attacks a long time contributor with his comments...

Conspiracy theory much?

Why don't you look at the pictures that I linked like everyone else.

why not be nice and say the antenna is clearly visible in the photos I linked to....it's the curly wire protruding from the hatch cover.

NOOOO...lets get aggro!

Mr. Pot, please meet Mr. Kettle

........whatever.

I personally don't care what kind of Surfer you Surf...as long as you Surf.

And what if I don't surf, does that make me any less of a human being? I don't hate surfing.......I just don't do it (maybe part of it is that I'm a bad swimmer).

I'm not into surfing nor really have any interest in the RC surfer myself, but guess what.............
I'd like to fill in the blank...

But then JustAddWater would be at my door.

Thanks for the link...please let us know when your board arrive.

I don't plan on buying it, just figured I'd pass on a good deal after seeing the price of these things online.

Gotta say this kinda pisses me off!

I made no comment on behalf of "THE CLUB OF RC SURFING AT PRO LEVEL" nor do I have any link associating me with that association. How you would know that....???

Umm you may want to remove the "RC Surf Divas. Tumblr.com" from your signature........Google search's first link comes up with:

http://www.********************.com/...php?t=43&p=337

And why would it matter...unless you have an axe to grind?

I'm a secret agent who's sole purpose is to undermine the RC surfing community. I'm actually the manufacturer of the product Iposted and every ******** that receives a unit will be taken out by a cleverly hidden potasium bomb.

In fact, the founder of that association will probably (edit buy every last one of those boards for that price...he has been complaining that there were not any more left.

The whole reason why I posted the deal in the first place

I think that this tendency towards aggressive posts will be the end of all the forums...killed one ,split it into two and neither are very fun any more, the fact we are all back here proves my point ie; they are DEAD.

Mr. Pot, please meet Mr. Kettle

Sure some will stay and post "LOOK at ME" type posts...but the people who are forward thinking will just 'be over it' and stop posting all together. Why take abuse from 'some nobody, from nowhere, with no real intentions? Just attitude.

The only link I have posted is one to my blog at tumblr...read it or not I do not care. It is a record of the RC Surf Divas and their journey towards the Ultimate Surfer...warn you...could take a while.

I believe all the modification posts have been posted....Jimi went through great lengths to refine that production model...I use many of his concepts in my own...don't see anything groundbreaking on the horizon...Forum Dead ...rather go Surfing

You should, I think you'll feel a whole lot better and forget about this keyboard war.

Whats The reason you posted ?

You stated you are not into rc surfing ?
so why spend your "valuable" time looking under all the rocks
just to find out you can pound sand yourself ?

How's OZ Mate ?
You can't fool a fool,
might be more fun to fly a Kite In Maui ...

Thanks for the marketing ad

However, you have no idea what you are even looking at, or spouting about.
Prove me wrong. The $495 was for what ?

I click me magic red fins three times and I go back to Kansas
leaving The Land Of OX to let them deal with their own issues ....

You have no clue. I suggest spend 5 - 10 years at this
and then give an opinion. Or buy a board from your frien Aron
and tell us what you think . 3 weaks or leaks away lol

You will find a better place to share your thoughts here:

John,
The fact is most people playing around with the - don't even know the ''TRUTH''.

So here it is:

The - is an ''Illegal'' and vastly inferior Chinese copy of the ''Kyosho Lisa''.
It is a leaky piece of crap.

Jason Hall is the inventor of the RC Surfer which was manufactured by Kyosho.
Jason still owns the patent and - ''ILLEGALLY'' make CHEAP NASTY BAD copies of the second Kyosho Surfer model the ''LISA''

Now I ask everybody on this forum,

''If you invented something as cool as this and then the Chinese flooded the market with illegal cheap inferior copies of your invention wouldn't you be just a little bit pissed off?''

Remember, Jason does not see any royalties from these scammers.

I don't care if some people say they can make these ''Fake ILLEGAL Copies'' watertight they are still suss.
I have spoken with people who have been destroying and rebuilding their ORIGINAL RC SURFER for 15 or even 20 years and the thing still shreds.
I am on my third - hull at the moment and that is in only 6 months.
How many hulls has Seb gone through?

I am getting off the - bandwagon and supporting Jason Hall by paying out the money and having the satisfaction of operating a LEGAL Watertight Longlasting REAL RC SURFER.
The problem is that - hulls are basically the only option for most of us, that is until we build our own hull like you guys at Maui do or until we spend the money and buy a REAL RC SURFER.
Even if you do build your own hulls, please remember Jason Hall and all that he has been through over the last 20 years and give him a bit of credit for inventing the first RC Surfer.

If you do use an ''Illegal'' - and don't even know it is an ILLEGAL FAKE COPY then it is not really your fault, but if you do know and you continue to turn a blind eye, then you are really just supporting criminals because you won't part with the money and support the inventor.

Yes, they may be a bit harder to find but they are out there.
I know because I have 2 of them.

So now that you all know ''THE TRUTH'' that you are really just supporting a great big ILLEGAL SCAM why don't you do some homework and get REAL.

I have been using - for 6 months because that is what I was sold by a friend, at the time I bought it I did not know the whole story, the longer I play around with these little rockets the stronger my feelings about all this are becoming.

So Seb, as it turns out, I am glad you didn't take me up on my offer because I will be spending my time working on my Kyosho's from now on.
If the rest of you are happy to continue using FAKE ILLEGAL CHEAP LOOKING RIDERS on top of FAKE ILLEGAL LEAKY RIPOFF HULLS indefinately, then that is up to you.
I hope you can all sleep well at night.

I still have 3 usable - hulls and I will use them for a little while longer, that is until I have finished my REAL RC SURFER and LISA, then I will throw the - CRAP INTO THE BIN WHERE THEY BELONG.

If you are a guitarist and you like Strats you don't rush out and buy a CHEAP ILLEGAL Chinese copy, you save up and buy a Fender, what is the difference.

I have had enough of the lies, the real truth is ''- Sucks'' because it is selling you hulls that someone else has the patents for.

JIMI (Gero)

Go Wombarra and Go Maui RC Surfer

Some guys post so much they forget what they wrote
and once believed in. Here is a prime example:
I am Shocked Jimi is not using Kyosho Hulls
at this time ? He swore never to run the China Hulls EVER again ...
Since everyone likes quotes, enjoy this one ! TRUTH ???

ORIGINAL: Jimi Findrix

Yeah so what!
When they bring out the new board I will use them instead.
Not a problem.
