Gunnar's Speed 21 - with trim cleat

joedy - 11-10-2011 at 03:56 AM

I noticed that Gunnar posted some photos on the Flysurfer Facebook page in the album called, "Slalom World Championships Murcia 2011" in which one shot clearly shows that he's added a cleat-style trim adjuster (like the North branded ones have).

Does anyone know why Gunnar modified his Speed 21 from the stock configuration?

Is this a harbinger of things to come from Flysurfer?

Urgh I hope not ... I'm betting he's either doing or trying out the hard-core racer trick of adjusting the trim constantly with one hand and sheeting with the other.
I'm not a huge fan of the trim staps but it's a better system IMHO than cleats - less crap flapping around!

Although I'm thinking of swapping out the Navigator cleat for a Switch one ... that'd allow totally dynamic bar travel and trim adjustment on a 1-piece depower line :devious:
