Matt How long have you been surfing Gravity Grip? Trev About two and a half years. (Trevor was one of the first test pilots, with the help of Nev, who shapes his tow- in boards and has supported the extensive R & D period of Gravity Grip) I remember the very first time I used it; I was addicted – definitely addicted. The first time I used it, just getting that first little bit of air towing in behind a wave, pumping a little air on the backwash and thinking straightaway that normally the board falls away – but this sticks to your feet. I was stocked about what it could do. Since that period of time we have had some very big swells, in fact I got a wave at the back of Straddie - probably 12 foot wave –20 foot plus face – a tube section which was probably the deepest you could ever get, and of course with that size wave it is so very steep inside the tube that you could not stand on a 6-10 or 7 foot board.
