Board History: Living Document

~Board History~

These are the boards I've owned and ridden extensively.

BARG Factors calculated with 85kg rider.

Kalama Boards:

e3

5’10”x28.875”

15.54lbs 123l

BAR*GF: 3.508

Loved learning on this board. Very sluggish carving.

e3

4’8”x26” 83l

12.7lbs

BAR*GF: 2.103

Least favorite board of all time. Required too much foil and wing for me to enjoy.

Barracuda v1

8’x21” 111l

13.1lbs

BAR*GF: 5.97

The board responsible for my biggest progression leap. I went from riding 1200/1500 cm^2 foils to riding 550 cm^2 foils in a single season on this board.

e3

5’3”x22” 83l

11.5lbs

BAR*GF: 2.796

I was originally told this board would be impossible to wing because it was too narrow. It marked the beginning of my midlength testing/searches.

Sunova Boards:

Carver

5'10"x20" 85l

10.75lbs

BAR*GF: 3.5

The quiver killer. If I could only have one board forever this would be it.

Aviator 18

6'6"x18"x5-15/16" 90l

11.25lbs

BAR*GF: 4.588

Phenomenal takeoff, a touch narrow for my style on my 1050 but awesome on the 650.

Carver

5'11"x20"x4-11/16" 77l

10lbs 8oz

BAR*GF: 3.216

Currently riding and testing.

Pilot

5'9"x20"x4-5/16" 65l

9lbs 5oz

BAR*GF: 2.638

Reasonable low end for a sinker but I get caught with a small wing and 650 foil from time to time, crazy light, super fun board.

Pilot Mid

6'5"x19"x4.25" 68l

10lbs 3oz (4.63kg)

BAR*GF: 3.242

Just got this board. Parawing testing in progress. First impression: Full stoke.
