In Response To: Strip: Completed Petrel *PIC* (Joe Whitman)

: Well here it is, no water yet but heading to the pool tomorrow for
: first test run and some rolling practice. Five months almost to
: the day of receiving my plans.
: Out of water review: I am 6'2" 205 and have to say the Petrel
: fits great, I did not go with the standard hip plates, I like
: the feel of the minicell foam better and It gives me a little
: more room. As for leg and knee fit, the way Nick designed the
: cockpit recess and deck is perfect for long legs. My knees fit
: right in the corners of the deck chines. Plenty of room for my
: size 13 feet as well.

: Thanks Nick for the beautiful design, and all the help from all you
: guys on this forum.

: Here are some pictures. Official launch coming soon!

Very nice. I like the dark trim. What is it?
