Just a quick update on the Kane, one of the team, and his choice of stick for the coming winter season. Kane has chosen to run with the Stretch quad again for all its speed but this time has decided to run a TL2 from surftech. His reasoning is that the Tuflite boards are great they take the licks that a good surfer can throw at them without breaking you or your bank account. Only pro surfers can afford the comp lite glassing and continual replenishment of a quiver. The rest us should use Surftech. Kane says that the TL2 is just the improved version of the the original but with that little bit more of a PU board 'ping". If it performs better than an original surftech, is lighter, stronger and has that improved flex pattern and is as durable as the originals then its a no brainer!
