First off : the board a, 6-4 Quad w/ PBH fin systems-Supercharged works unreal !
A good buddy of mine Dave"Skaterbuilt.com" Hegstrom has it on loan and has been turning heads on it(I got a feeling I’m not getting it back…or at least not in a ridable condition.).
I need to consult Larry on the boxes…there is some separation around all the boxes w/ some seeping of water btwn the box and filler,not the filler and foam.It doesn’t seem to be hurting anything right now,but if I get a Failure Hegs w/find it.I can see the gap when the boxes are open,w/o the inserts or screw pressure,and with everything re-installed the gap disappears …??? A bit of flex in the box materials I’d say.
All in all at this point…a good+ system.
I still prefer Red-X as my primary Box System,tough,smallest box foot print,stiffest fin base set-up period,and I’ve never had one problem either minor or major w/ Xs…That in it self says alot about Red-X.
This doesn’t mean that I won’t use PBHs…It’s a great alt. to FCS,and adapts to there fins as well.Alot of people want FCS but hate the frality of the system…This gives those persons a choice.
Thanks Larry for you invitation and I’ll keep you informed on my progression w/ your box system.

Never loan a board to ANYONE with “skater” anywhere near their name!!! (I don’t know if the surfboard handrail grind has been done yet…but it might!)
It looks simular but is completely different…That’s the beauty of the logo.
At that the lightingbolt symbol can’t be trade marked…you can have a certain artwork registered,but over all, the symbol is public domain.That’s why so many builders put them on there boards back in the day.
Mine isn’t a Bolt…it’s an “S” …GOT TO LOVE THAT !
Should be in your area today…if not today next week foresure…hopefully you’ll be around.
Rory has always been the antithesis of the commercialization that surfing has become over the last thirty years.
Seeing Rory clean and healthy attempting to ressurect a brand that was the soul of surfing and then seeing “Busting Down the Doors” last night has just highlighted the fact that times are a changing.
Could it be that after thirty years we might be coming around full circle?
Howzit Herb, Mitch who was one of the guys ( also Handshaper ) developed the system first came to me with one of the first kits he told me to use acetone and later he also he used a dremel to sand the surfaces before installing. You might try it although I never had any problems with just wiping with acetone.Aloha,Kokua
Yeah, about that grind rail thing… Check out the latest Transworld Surf. Crazy asses built a double kink rail and put in out in the water for people to attempt to kill themselves on. Amazingly no injuries but a lot of fins got ripped out that day.
Howzit Mr Clean, Is that the marine silicone adhesive that runs about $10 a tube. I've used it for filling and sealing splits in tall wooden posts that are used for building houses. I thought it stayed kind of flexable.Aloha,Kokua
