Скачать или смотреть 008_Grant Hasselbach from 270 Board: Shaper Talks About Parawing Specific Board Design

Grant is an open minded board shaper who has deep understanding of fluid dynamics and a keen eye for detail and innovation. Grant recently got bitten by the parawing bug and has been working on interesting shapes for this new discipline. In this interview Grant shares the key design characteristics of a good parawing board, he talks about what makes a good waterman, and touches on how heavier riders can get the most out of parawinging. It was a pleasure to chat to this foil frother and I learned heaps from this chat. Unfortunately we lost video for some of it but all the information is still there!
