Â more or less correct more drive but add to the equasion that a bonzer set up doesnt seem to bleed off any speed through turns. gouging cutbacks sure but flowing bottom turns and cutbacks the board feels almost like it has turbo. Â this imo is what sets them apart from other fin concepts and why I think if I was fortunate enough to surf a fast wave like Jeffery's I'd def. want to take my bonzer Click to expand... Agreed. Have surfed quite a few bonzers in my day from Campbell Bros and others, 6 foot rippers up to 9' 4" longboard. My step up board is still a bonzer. Bonzer = Single on steroids. I have never done well with thrusters. I look to trim first and pump second. Notice how thruster surfers do 2 or 3 twitchy bottom turn combos before they lay it down? They lose drive from turn real quick, but accel quick when needed for lip blasts and stuff that I do not do with any regularity. I like how the bonzer trims and goes straight without drag ( unlike thruster and 2 + 1), but gets a smooth and noticeable accel out of driving bottom and top turns. 2+1 is a compromise between thruster and single, but feel really dead compared to bonzer when trying to get speed. |
