The Bear ate my Board

After 3 years of loyal service, I bid a final farewell to my beloved 2004 Slinshot Misfit prototype. The session on Monday at the Bear finally did it.

The weird thing is that it's the second board that broke while I was simply riding it. Just mowing the lawn on and suddenly SNAP!

Nice Denis, now you will get to try something new. I know it's a bit hard to make a change, but the new stuff is SOOO nice. I heard from NB that slingy is coming out with some really new construction boards that will rival the crazy flys and spleens. Hope you get one.

Denis, mowing the lawn??? our Denis?

Are you an imposter? Did you steal the real Denis' board? and then break it???

I told Pete - he was glad you got so much time out of it.

I recommend the Caution Redline 2006, 122cm. Otherwise I know nothing of boards.

So sad

I was in Gorge Performance this evening and found qty=2 122cm misfits
for sale on the back shelf.

I have 3 kiteboards now, single, double, and no concave
and just bought a 9' longboard for real light wind but really for surfing

wow! They're still around. Do you remember how much they wanted for those misfit protos?

I see that you have a Hein board. Sweet! I tried the flywood when I was in Padre last year. Incredible light wind board. Hein knows what he's doing.
