This must be some kind of record but the challenge is set to see who can Dock start a longer board. C'mon JB . The overall weight is the issue (13.3kg), the board just drops and sinks as soon as it hits the water , so forward momentum is the key . Took at least 10 attempts before I even got my feet to the board working out the launch plus the 1300 is so wide it kept hitting the dock. I did have the foil almost all the way forward in the 16" Chinook boxes , but ended up with them way back . Seems wrong but it obviously worked. This video is my first actual return run , I still struggle to deal with the size of the 1300 but I'm getting there. Didn't help that I was out on my 4-3 prone and 800 Cab (5.5kg) an hour before I tried this.

Board:- DC 8-0 x 21 x 120 Litre Harpoon

Axis 1300 PNG , 75 Alu Mast , Short Fuse & 475p tail (I call this my cheater rig )

Yeah certainly does but much smaller board , 7-6 x 14 and would be heaps lighter . I'll never catch Nathan though

Why is your board so heavy? 13.3 kg is extremely heavy!

That makes more sense. Board seems pretty heavy still for 120 litres?

There's an extra 1kg in those big boxes with 500mm 6" thick HD block of foam .,

Ok, that makes sense why it's so heavy.

13.3kg is not the weight of the board, it is board + alu foil.

Good for you Piros. Someone once said "Lose the weight and try harder!"

You're doing a great job!
