Re: Duotone Twintips 2023

They should also upsize the medium size team series to more like 141x42 or 140x42.5 like they did with the large version. Its too small for average joe who weighs 70-80kg,ie, too slow and pain in low wind. Otherwise a fantastic board apart from durability, broken insert, etc

Re: Patagonia vs RideEngine wetsuits

I did a lot of research last year. The Ripcurl flash bomb gets most positive feedback, read that Patagonia was a bit stiffer, less flexible. So I got the 5-3 flashbomb and 5mm boots. In 48f air and 45f water I'm pretty much sweating. no sun at all. Wearing hood and gloves too. I've had a Mystic dry...

Re: ronix boots. does toe need to touch front of boot?

Just about to replace my old ronix ones. This time i ordered 9 and 10 to compare the. In the 9 i touch the front and my toes are getting squeezed, not hard but uncomfy. Also all my vans are 9.5 and they say they're true to size as are the ronix. So bad luck for me to fall between the numbers. So, I'...

Re: Has anybody experience with North Flex binding?

Agree with the above, the flexes are very nice and seem to hold the foot really well. I would say that the slingshot Dualli is probably slightly more cushioned but somehow does not hold your foot in the strap as well and results in a less connected feeling Ok. That sounds promising ;D Can you tell ...

Has anybody experience with North Flex binding?

I like the minimal design and wonder how these compare to duotone NTT, which are the best straps i've ridden so far (apart from the scratchy inner lining). The Flex lining looks very comfy, but binding seems more loose with the flat heel bed. Any views?
