is ci flyer low entry?That's not what I said.
I'm saying one of the main reasons they're popular is because they're what people are more accustomed to and one of the reasons is they're way easier to sell. For a person's first standard shortboard it's gonna be easier for them to catch waves instantly on something with low entry.
Hand them a moderate entry board after that and they're gonna say "This thing sucks, it pushes water."
Are you talking about front or back foot?Toes angled to the nose?
Backside, yes.
I think that was his ysrq or something like that model back in the day. I just saw he redid that design and is kinda promoting it but right now he’s stacked with a mid length channel twin he just came out with.I rode one of Brad Gerlach's boards with this bottom back in the day and for me, it's more about generating speed than initiating a turn. I didn't love the board, but that was probably due an equal part the board's super flat deck and boxy rails and not just the bottom contours.
Moderate entry and relatively flat tail from the looks of it.
front foot 45 (or more) toe to front. Help me open up my chest/shoulders.Are you talking about front or back foot?
The back foot is typically angled toward the tail or neutral.
Yeah that seems right. By todays standards the entry rocker of the OG flyer would be moderate to high even? It's been like a decade since I've ridden them but if memory serves the Flyer didn't paddle or catch waves amazingly relative to a modern lower entry board but they had a lot of drive once up and riding and held speed through turns due to low tail rocker.Moderate entry and relatively flat tail from the looks of it.
on the CI website. Just turn the phone sideways.Wheres the measurements when disscussing "low enrty" etc. ?
Sorry, haven’t logged in for quite a while.yo @Badger_Badger you get that Bullet? How’s it go?
+1 My fav boar to date as a fronty driver sufer. Very fast and fun turns with the Muchacho twin keel. Ghost is also a fav when waves get to be decent.get the muchacho moon beam. that look very ff. mist rob muchachos boars seem ff
I've found the Untitled V2 to be a very unfriendly board for front footed surfing. It took me 4 sessions to figure out that my normal mode of surfing just wasn't working. I finally changed my approach to drive harder off of the fins and the thing lit up! Once the board got going it was epic.Just wanted to share my opinion on the Haydenshapes' Untitled for front footies. I used it for two sessions (two day rental from Awayco). I usually ride around 28L and this was 26.84L (5'7" x 19 1/4" x 2 5/16") in Futureflex (epoxy). I wouldn't have wanted any more volume. The board felt just right.
Yesterday, I rode it in waist to chest slightly bumpy beachbreak with some fairly hollow sections and it was pretty meh. The board didn't really have any zing and I felt I was pretty off my game. I couldn't seem to get to sections as quickly as I would have on my normal Chilli Nevada (non HP).
Lo and behold this morning we had really fun waist to head high really hollow windswell. The board was extremely fast on both my forehand and backside and was pretty controllable in the lip and into/out of reverses. The few time I really tried to push hard on my forehand bottom turns, I felt it losing some grip and had to back off since it felt is was close to spinning out. I haven't ridden Futures in years and was running HS2 Generation tri set.
I think I'd be happy renting the board if I was on a trip somewhere, but pretty sure I won't be purchasing one, since it seemed like it was only above average in above average waves.
Side note, Greg Browning's son Parker was out this morning and was in Waco at the wavepool recently with his dad. Parker has a pretty solid air game, but he was nailing pretty much everything this morning, with lots of barrel to air combos. Looked like Waco is a very good practice center.
Picked up a huge Fred Rubble I've been riding lately, and it's very front foot friendly. Catches wave very easily, large sweet spot, turns great, extremely fast. Amazing board for someone with my bad habits, very forgiving and non-judgmental...CI's have always worked well for me. The old Rob Machado model from the mid 90's. The Pod Mod, Fred Rubble, B/W, and OG Flyer all clicked from the very first wave (B/W and OG Flyer were demos).
