to Herb Spitzer

hi there Herb !!

 

  I hope you are well , and surfing HEAPS !

 

  Mate , a couple of questions , if you don't mind me asking ?

 

...   have you ever used your 'superchargers'  with

 

 1. a bonzer 3 fin ?

 2. a twin keel fish ?

 3. a quad fin ?

 

  cheers !

 

  ben

 

i am!

i’d really like to give your superchargers a go

Ben, i supercharged my twin keel. Magic board, once in they never came out. When i sort out which set of fins i like best in my egg, i'll be doing the same mate.

 

P.S I have your rainbow keels in my egg at the moment. I have filed a "V" notch in them to help keep the buggers in. Hoping it works, i think they will be rock solid.

Its in my avatar!

hey chippy,

been doin' well,almost feel like my old self again.

i remember back a few years ago that the recovery was going to take sometime.

i refused to believe him , but he was right.............it's been a slow day by day thing ,but i believe the worst is now over.

i have a distant friend in christ's church ,but haven't heard a thing from him,hope and pray he's okay.

as to your question the first one is no,the second two are yes.

i have two quads now that are supercharged and work great.

one is a board that kensurf built.

this one is turning out to be one of my favs.

my best to you.

herb

thanks herb !  and thanks beerfan !

 

 

  Mark , what do you notice different when you have the chargers in , versus before without them ?

 

  i'm thinking of adding a few plugs to my 6'1 orange stub , try suoercharged bonzer 3 setup first , I'm thinking ....

 

  herb , a complete recovery to you , matey !

herb , WOULD you consider supercharging a bonzer 3 , ever ?/

  re: Christchurch ...

 

yep , I've been trying to contact 'moonfish' here [Shannon] ...he hasn't been online at sways for MONTHS . He has recently moved house and changed jobs , and perhaps a second baby too by now ?! so no doubt he is BUSY ...

 

....he and all his relatives and friends are from Christchurch , so I sure hope and pray that they are all alive and surviving well. I'll go try his email now ....

 

  cheers

thanks ben.

shannon is in my thoughts.

never tried it on a tri-bonzer..................i bet it would work well though.

 

stay dry on land and wet in the water,mate !

herb

Definately felt the reduction in drag, first paddle out could feel it moving through the water easier/faster. Better release, and top speed straight from pop up. Tighter turns too.

yeaaaah

 

  sounds GOOD !!

i've been gearing up my shop for production again.

hope you guys are ready for more spitzer skunkworks !

lol

herb

The skunk works up!

 

Awright ~~~ Charge baby!

  Hiya Herb !!

 

 ... I tried this combination bonzer runner / 'keel' setup experiment in my 6'6 walden this morning ....

 ..... fun  , fun ,  FUN !

only tiny , short period windswell this morning .... but ... this setup seemed to give me so much SPPEEEDDD !! [sorry , no 'gps readings' available , though hahahhh]

 

'pump and skate' style surfing , it sure made a change from trim and glide mal riding for me .

 

 [ I can't wait to try this setup in the 6'1 orange stub , with the runners canted in the 6 degree insert in the proboxes ]

 

cheers Herb !

 

  ben

 

whoo-ya mate !

you go.............it's starting over again !

i should be back and rolling by next week.

the shop is going into reorganization.

herb

good stuff !

 

  I may have to put in a few 'one-plugs' on a couple of my boards , and break out YOUR 'Superchargers' that you sent , to compare them with the larger 'one-tabber fin[?let?]s that I've made ...

 

  cheers Herb !

 

  ben
