Hybrid / Raceboard Class

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Though I’m keen on the Mistral Prodigy there are other Hybrid raceboards being made with similar characteristics.    Yes I know the old longboards can go a bit better but believe me the ride is so much nicer on a Hybrid board.    Perhaps their best feature is that their width makes them very stable and thus suited for a beginner.   These are boards that anyone at any [...]

The Calema MidWinters regatta was great fun again.   Though the racing is held over three days (Friday through Sunday)  many start showing up on Tuesday.    This year the turnout for the Longboard/Hybrid fleet was disappointing with only about ten entries in the fleet.   Perhaps with so much attention going to the Formula and Kona fleets the last couple years the longboarders have decided to stay away.   Still [...]
