Doolittle Customs Inc. was out testing their new light wind weapon last weekend in the Far East. Notice the R&D Test Pilot trying to hid his face from the Paparazzi. Also, notice his huge adrenaline buzz indicated by the “Alfalfa spike.” Look for more Doolittle sightings at SI this week. Check back for test reports as they become available. ~D

Props to "Doolittle Industries" for creating a uber lightwind weapon with Flex Powered Dynamic Rocker (TM).

Maybe we can coax the designer into coming on and sharing her board building techniques with us...

That thing doubles as a weapon for Sauvie Island thieves. Laughing

Apparently Naish has designed a board specifically for the Sauvie Island rider during the Fall season. It excels in light wind and CSO conditions.

It's called (of course) the "Floater".

It was really easy to make took an hour to make and 4 days to varnish. The 3/8 " is light than the 1/2" and has more flex than the 1/2"

We been doing a lot of R&D this week, so far all test are positive. Too soon yet to go public with it. I have some new ideas to try this winter so a whole new line will be ready for next spring/summer.

If you can pry it out of pkh's hands feel free to take it for a ride or protect your belongings from the SI thieves (Karl) this week. Very Happy
