They truly where horrible bindings. They did not get in your way though. I broke so many baseplates I would carry spares in my car.

Maybe I'm unable to discern between floating and blasting, but in the crud, my 28.7 wide Hazelwood feels like bringing a gun to a knife fight...

No, you are right. My 187 Tanker is a 27 and it's a crud buster. What length is your Hazelwood? Like it? I am thinking about one. My Donek sasquatch is a 166 and a 29, it does not like crud, maybe it's the lack of length, or just board design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's quite a bit burlier than my two 187/27 Tankers. It's probably mocking them in my basement right now in a good-natured way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I fully expect to be riding it after The Apocalypse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
