yes it was a nasty hit,but a backy lawn dart off a 2 ft wave flyin a few feet above the water and a 20 + ft plus pancaker are 2 diff stories. Im sure this hull is the shizz bud im just saying it will be interesting to see what happens to it with a missed dose of aderol on a clean 8ft surf day is all.......lol I certainly would rock one if I could justify spending 6 k on a hull.I know it would be sweet for my riding style

Not exactly. Small surf is in shallow water. Even though it wasn't a big backflip, there was almost no water under him to decelerate in. I'm not saying that it's all equal, but if you are in 8ft surf, then there is much more water under you before you actually hit bottom. Nosing it in from 20ft in the air and then through 6 or 8 feet of water before you hit sand is probably not much worse than nosing in from 8 feet through 2 or 3 feet of water before you hit sand. Pancaking one is definitely different because all is equal except the height you fall from. You're just hitting water.

says nothing about nosing one in,says pancaking from 20+ feet. Water is a beast on a a hull falling at the wrong angle.

Maybe it was "soft sand" at the bottom. Now if it happened on a reef...that's a whole different story
There were a few guys that nailed the bottom at Daytona too, including one that I saw Ross do to his 08 (at least 10 feet up) and there was no damage to his nose either .

most the wavejunkies have all our SJ noses reinforced from the inside of the hull with 3 layers biax and again under the nose lip with the same and we have nailed the bottom from 10 feet + numerous times,not so much as a crack,its always the pancaker landings on just past flat to the tail,or bailing on huge rolls and ski comes down on it side,or backie learners landing upside down that causes the trauma to our hulls. you start having these things happen at 20 ft and that will tell the real story
