    It's great to see the older guys still out there and making it happen. The part I have a hard time with is, here in SD CA (that includes Sano) it's soooooooooo crowded no matter what day of the week or time of day that it's basically just a shat show out there. Yeah about once a week I can get it at a decent crowd, and yep I still get A LOT of set waves even with 90 guys out no bs, I just have a hard time with a f--king circus beyond over crowded joke. How bout those Ebikes?! Sad the beyond over crowded thing changed surfing. Well gotta go I'm in line at Sano idling in my truck for another hour so I can park. Peace

    What an absolute animal!!! Edit: when you said about windy days (which we get a lot of in the Uk) did you say the volcanic or helium is better? Also do you find a difference between the shape of a dominator and a revo/cymatic? I surf an ibolic revo so this is of interest to me

    • @leighwilson1524
      @leighwilson1524 День тому

      Hi Jay, the Volcanic handle bumps better than Helium. The Revo goes on rail a bit easier than the Cymatic but the Cymatic is easier to go vertical and more controllable. The Dominator feels like a more traditional board, not as lively as a Cymatic, but a more conservative board and good for beginner to advance where the Cymatic suits Intermediate to advance

    Great review. Got the mid6 and great in all conditions. Have you tried the mashup, looking for fun groveler for every day beachies, intrigued by the cymatic as shape looks like it would be a fun board with better paddling but they promote as a high performance board but sounds like it goes well in average conditions to? Always fancied a dominator. Cheers

    Rip Curl suits develop pinholes way too fast, literally within a month or two and some right out of the factory. Problem is they try to tape the seams over the fuzzy liner, and the glue doesn't bond well, the liner is too fuzzy/thick. Xcel will last 2 seasons or more and only then slowly develop pinholes but it is not nearly as stretchy. If it fits you well, it is stretchy enough. The xcel is also pretty thick for a 4/3 because they use thick jersey liners. I have had 5/3s that didn't feel as thick so it fits a weird niche.

    I recently had a very unpleasant episode with my Disco 5. The steering rack failed whilst cornering causing me to have an RTA. I claimed on my insurance for body and mechanical repair. 14 weeks in to repair and I am still awaiting return. Very long parts wait from LR (steering rack, suspension arms and subframe). Can anyone advise if I have a legitimate claim against LR as I have excess to pay on my insurance claim and the car is now devalued as it has been in an accident. I understand that this fault has been recognised with other LR models that have been recalled but not the Discovery 5.
