Rayne amazon 38.5" long 10" wide 5/8in radial drop |
I came from a Rayne baby killer TM to this beauty. I'm very happy I did! I grew out of the baby killer as i was standing on the necks of the board. I thought about it, what were my only complaints about the baby killer? "I would like a longer deck, larger drop and having a drop through option would be nice" then I searched the internet for a couple minutes and found this, read its longer, wider, larger drop, but no w concave, but there's no need for it because the "mean cave" is ridiculous and holds you in amazingly. The 3 stage rocker plus the 5/8in radial drop plus the mean cave will lock your feet in and not let you move, slap some vicious, super coarse jessup, gator grip, anything like that and you can barely move your feet. Something else very unique is that is has different wheelbase options in a drop through board. it also has rayne's "speed stiff" flex which is pretty much none (i'm 200lbs and can flex it a little) which stands for great control when doing dh, freeride, or anything else it is you like to do. I personally have mine set up with 45* surf rodz rkp trucks (set at 186mm), and abec 11 flashbacks. the only problem ive had is the surf rodz base plate is huge and doesn't fit when dropping them through on the outer mounting holes but fits fine on the inner ones. I am still not sure if i like it dropped through or top mounted yet but both are awesome! I haven't had any problems with cracking, chipping, chunking, or delam yet but I have no curbs in my neighbor hood so that helps a bunch. It is also very light because it is bamboo sandwiched between fiberglass. Another cool aspect about Rayne's boards are that there graphics are "tattooed" into the fiberglass so it takes some good hits to scratch the graphic. I cant say enough about this board and how sweet it has been. I will say that it is my favorite board in my quiver and cant stop riding it!
