I get the idea of lighter rigs, but brands making boards lighter seems freaking nuts, use the lighter materials to make them stronger and last longer. Eat fewer sausages folks, that will get you planing quicker 🤣
Heya, interesting thoughts. The new boards are not only lighter, but they are stronger and will last longer. Due to using higher quality materials and high standard manufacturing processes... It is not just to get the boards planning quicker. The 'dink' and dent ability of the new DLABs is much higher than anything before from fanatic/duotone. They are noticeable stiffer even just to touch
@@worthingwatersports changing from cobra to kinetic is certainly a good move, yet, the lighter boards may be stronger than previous ones but why not increase even more durability when you have the weight advantage? (Note: my Witchcraft driven mindset on this is influencing my viewpoint heavily, I know.)
@@windsurf888@windsurf888 is always a compromise, I guess. They seem to have a really good balance now. I do not want the performance to change by getting heavier These boards are exceptional on the water, and their performance is second to none. I have heard witchcraft are very well-built!
@@worthingwatersports it is certainly interesting and next time I have the change to try one I will - just to get an idea what a light board feels like.
