Hey Haircut & Chairman and all the goldy crew.
It's finally happened. I have given my old RX1 6.1 its final rites.I bet you guys never thought you would see the day that would happen.It ended up being more duct tape than mono. 2 new weapons to replace the old girl. 5.8 and 6.6 Koncepts.I have only had the 6.6 out (yesterday) and it feels awesome.
Rig big,Hook in,Hang on and get scared. lol

Who would've thought?

Rest in pieces to an old trusty piece of kit.

We all have them sitting in the shed which we just can't bear to part with.

A sad day, till the new kit arrives then

sailguy..lots of wind to be had out there for sure.

5.8 koncept will be a handfull. I mostly use 5m kaos out there and sometimes she is a handful. in fact lots of times too big.

if your up over the next 4 weeks or so drop me a line and i'll show you the way to go.

after that i'm going west...heard life is peaceful there.

Hi Troppo
Thanks for the heads up,I have an old 5m North in my quiver.
What boards are you guys riding out there? My boss is in Dubai at the moment so I'm not sure when I will be able to get the time off.
It maybe after you have left for paradise in the west.As he drools over the keyboard.lol
