Looks awesome. @ 95kg considering a drifter or ginsu @ 70L for all around quiver killer. For myself, I think I like dimensions on the Ginsu- longer narrower in relation to volume it seems. I'm wondering what/how significant positives/compromises/differences are between the 2 with the step? Shape is otherwise the same- yes?
What size board and model are you using now for comparison on size? Ginxu and Drifter are similar but Ginxu will pop up faster when you touch down, one due to the cut the other due to the tail block flat area which is bigger. Drifter 4 has a bit more of a displacement bottom shape where as the ginxu has a double concave bottom shape. Drifter 4 has a bit more forward drive though when getting up and going due to the bottom shape and length though. Both great options, just slight different in dims and feel.
Hi Gents, nice shape. You talked a bit about the construction. Many the boards are build with 2 Layers of carbon over a EPS core. What is stable for the moment but after a some time the board gets softer. So do you guys build in a sandwich construction ? If yes does it cover also the rails ? Most boards have a hard deck due to the sandwich but soft rails.. Would be cool to get some more infos .. Thanks
stoked you like the shape, thank you. About boards going soft, if you use enough layers of cloth and carbon board wont go soft. None of the Drifter boards have sandwich but do have enough layers to make the boards strong, stiff and be true to original shape. These boars are also molded which will keep these shape even closer to what Keith created. Aloha
Great work Keith and Team! The whole lineup is amazing this year.
Thank you. We're glad you like it.
