Had a great conversation with Mark Raaporst today. Mark was telling me about the New Bullet he has been working on, as it has even more glide than the original Bullet ( exciting stuff ) he's got 15 orders already on the waiting list.
I hassled Mark to come over to Fiji next month for my 50th

Yep + I've ordered one and leaving it on Maui so I can just fly in and out and not have to worry about a Maliko board stoked

Phil, I hear it is an inch wider. How could that possibly give it more glide
I am going the orginal as they are already huge boards to lug around and incredibly stable at their current width...would love to know the full story behind the design

hey kissa, a mate knows one of the guys that works for sic. unless its being kept in house, should be able to get back with the changes.

they are a ready stable board alright. one of the funnist boards to dw on ever imho.

its interesting because they were talking about not changing it this year

Thanks Lacey. That would be awesome. My only thinking is that the extra width might be in the front half of the board rather than throug the middle. I thought Mark said "if it ain't broke..." But he must be convinced it is better...
