| 59738 | 605 | Bonzers. Why? | 17 | pefa | Jul 24, 2014 | 2014-07-24T04:19:06-0400 | i used to have a 6'2 bing bonzer about 7 yrs ago that was majic, i then had matt make me a 7'6 that was also majic. the fluidity of the turns, the high lines on a face, and the line that can initiated on a drop were unlike anything else i've ever experienced on a wave- granted, shortboards have never been my go to boards and i never spent that much time trying to dial any others in. in a way could almost emulate snowboading on a wave which i was really drawn to the design, as i understand it, is based on Bernoulli's principle, which i don't fully understand other than a more fluid transition from potential to knetic energy with a more seamless transition (especially in turns) which provides more acceleration. also, as it's been said, they were a progresion of singlefin surfing not twins... bottom line to me though, is seeing dudes like kpd, cuda, etc and others ripping on 'em w/ big ole' smiles as my surfing ability rarely measures up to the sh#t i can talk |
