Correct Matt
Anyways, sorry for this derail about my hull, which has nothing to do with the new Predator hull. It's an old deal that predates any distributorships, new designs, etc. there are a couple of valid reasons for why it is so late, frustrating as it may be for me. Not the topic of this thread.
I think I'll have it soon, I'll post a bunch of details, pics, review of the product and transaction at that time.

I already tried that and didn't get an answer. I've always been very interested in the JB1 but haven't ridden one. I'd be very curious to know the new changes and new hull design. The JB1 is being discontinued and Krash will soon have 3 models right? So the Footrocket, Predator, and what else?

I see you have a problem comprehending what someone says. Your suppose to be a Rep for Krash yet nobody knew this. That my point. You do not post much and nobody on this side of the pond has a clue who you are. That is what the reference to post count is about. 75% of my post is mostly BS and crap. But most people know who I am, who Matt is. Have a good day sir.

Wow 7 pages of drama and all we have so far is the name of the hull. This is the X at it's finest. Hope you get your hull soon Matt and ride the snot out of it.
So Predator you say....?

What you expect when all that is posted is a A Word and then some clown, who knobody has a clue who he is, comes in defending Krash and then finally lets it be known he is a Rep for Krash............
Ok I think it's time I got on here and answered all the queries myself I honestly try and be as available as I can and after reading this you might realise why at times it's hard for me to be on hand at any given moment. Firstly I've apoligized to Matt on many occasions and he will have his hull within a week. His has by far been the worst delayed hull I've had to build partly because of changes made from the original order but mainly through poor time estimation on my behalf to build and mould a 155mm bottom whilst I've been still producing orders, running events and setting up our new factory and expanding to overcome these issues.
From the time I began modifying hulls in my parents back shed up until last year Krash was a family run business with a select few helping to meet deadlines. Ever since I started the goal of this company was to build the best handling hulls and get the gnarliest riders from around the world on them to help develop them and take the sport beyond just flips and rolls and to a new level of aerial maneuvers whilst getting something to handle as much as a surfboard as possible. It was also to give everyone that rides one of my hulls a sense of being part of a group of unique riders and have a place in the Army. Thanks to the support of so many riders around the world Krash has expanded it's operation to Thailand to meet the ever growing demand in
my own factory. I'm not licensing my products to another company as I want to stick to doing custom graphics and composites and this gives me the flexibility to do this and at the same time keep a close eye on quality and the hulls coming out to my standard and what the customers expect no surprises. I am also training our own work force using the epoxy resin infusion technique to keep our hulls at an optimum weight not like some of the heavier hulls that are out there at the moment. I think someone made the comment above about the abundance of skilled labour in Thailand I think you'll find most companies that produce quality products are actually western companies that take there staff over and put their proven procedures in place to be executed by a cheaper workforce to meet demand whilst keeping a competitive price.
In terms of turn around now we have finally got through all the back log and are fully operational which has doubled production since early this year. Im now in the positive to better estimate and meet delivery times for example Pierre ordered his 4 weeks ago and receives them next week, NZ freeride ordered there's last week and there's will be shipped at the end of the month. You also have the benefit of the Brights having JB1s and footrockets in stock right now and that will continue into the future to eliminate waiting periods and improve customer satisfaction.
i know this just touches on many questions to be answered so ill do my best to get on here as much as I can. Back on topic, the Predator will not be replacing the footrocket or JB1 it's a cross between the two. The footrocket is our freestyle hull with adjustment to take in the surf aswell as freestyle. The JB1 is for the guys that like there SJs but would like some rocker on the nose and a bit more maneuverability. The Predator is a bit more aggressive than the JB but more stable than the Footrocket. Ill get some pictures up here tomorrow of it and better explain it. I appreciate all your feedback and ill keep working hard to address anymore issues in the future.

Good to see you post up Nick! l am a VERY satisfied customer and will be interested in the new hull you are coming out with soon!
My rocket got quite a workout with some of the crew in fla and everyone was quite surprised that hull as short as it is was quite stable and still performed well.
Thank you

I got to try Sanomans Footrocket and liked its maneuverability and nimbleness. the weigh seemed bery impressive as well for a glass hull and the finish looked great. I naturally prefer longer hulls and have been interested in the JB1 but have never had the chance to try one. The Predator sounds like it'll be a killer setup and a great addition to your lineup. Thanks for clarifying some of the confusion Nick

18 of his posts are probably promoting his products.
Im sure there will be a Predator at Daytona next year and im hoping to go back it is a really great event. No there wont be a 155 bottom for the predator. Below are some pictures of Zacks hulls and Matts carbon hull which were produced out of Thailand and some shots of the predator plug before it was moulded i will have pictures of the first complete batch of Predators by the end of the month.
