Man what a great time to visit Lake Powell. Was down at Antelope Point Marina for the Lake Powell Challenge.

My new board came in today. Connelly Voodoo 4’10. Holy crap this thing fun. And cheap... do t forget that, otherwise I never would have bought it! Lmao
A buddy bought the 4’6 for his wife and I was goofing around on it. Surprisingly even at 220, I can ride the 4’6, and boost it off the water. It was a blast, just a hair too short, and not floaty enough.
The 4’10, Turns out it is a little surf missile! And it’s obscenely light, I can get little airs every now and then on my Doomsy, but this thing can launch out of the water. It shreds, so far as of today it’s wveryones new favorite on the boat.

Intrigued. I usually ride the fancy stuff. What Doomswell you comparing it to? I have been on Neos in 4-6 and 4-8 and the Sparkplug. Actually loved none of those to be honest.....
But you’re saying this is quicker and has more pop? Curious! Where did you purchase and how much?
These boards are made overseas and frankly how can there be any secrets anymore in shaping? Maybe there is...but what keeps people from copying everything?
I do love my SC and Chaos products. For sure. But I am always up for new things [emoji6]

I was never a huge fan of the neo. It always feels like it’s gonna roll out from under me lol... I dunno if I’d say this is quicker, but it’s definitely more stable when you’re railing on the board. But it’s no slouch, it’ll turn as hard and fast as I tell it to. And it’s nice cus I don’t feel worn out pumping this thing around. It just goes...
I have a Doomsy 56” Carbon hybrid skimmer. It’s been a blast all season. It spins easily, (still haven’t landed that 360 cus I always over rotate) and with drivers it’s a fun surf board and it’s light.
This voodoo is all surf, but it feels like a real ocean board. It will break loose for fin slides on top of the wave, it boosts like crazy, even for my fat butt. The coolest part is how fast it pumps. I took a pretty good header cus I bounced off the wave trying to get my legs poked out on a hard carve. It will almost recover itself if you get in the soft water.
I too am used to expensive boards. Picked this up for $320, can’t tell you who I got it from, sorry. But it’s worth every bit of the $400 on Evo or the like. It’s my new favorite, a CWB of all things.
We were having so much fun with it we forgot to take pics.
I’ll try and get a video if I can get on the water tomorrow.
It rides like a hammerhead but it’s not trying to slide out and/or kill you every time you come down the wave lol. But that’s all I’ve ever really ridden. Hammerhead, my Doomsy, and my old byerly. The neo wasn’t mine, only ridden it a few times but never liked it.
You should see the bruise and knot on my thigh from a botched 360 today on the Hammerhead. I’m limping like an old man, my knee even hurts. I came down hard on my hip right on the back of the board.
If you can find one to ride, do it! You’ll love it. Tons of push
That is the info I was looking for! Perhaps you’re feeling a decent surf feel for -kind of- the first time. Wait till your feel grace the top of something nice and hot—a good Chaos, or SC, or Parker....you may crap your trunks.
Not saying this is not a sweet little stick...sounds fun as heck!

Had a blast yesterday testing out both sets of tabs I made. Lake was glass. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b4da2b7ed4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...68c1c84553.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e0455ff261.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6053437be9.jpg
Ooh, that last one looks like it’s about to not feel incredible ^^...
Lol yeah, he landed on the board.
I did that yesterday on the Hammerhead, I’m limping pretty good today
My season is done. Thought we would get out in September but Mother Nature had different ideas. Way too early for this!!!

It’s surprising to me that you can slide this board with those big ol fins back there
We had a party at Lake Powell with 32 kiddos, had a big blob for them and Moes BBQ sponsored.
Kiddos went home on Sunday for school and the dads stayed back... got some Foiling in behind a G23 (no ballast, impellers blew). Updated my bags on the Helix to 1100’s and the wave was legit! Hoping to get back out there this weekend, will get some pics of it.

You got that right! I love my new tray!

From a non-tray boater, I'm jealous. Nice!!
What's the scoop on the trays? Does it fit the Mojo?
Some tray dimensions will help. Aldo what do they cost?

$200 of happiness.

Definitely fits a mojo. I had to make a cut on the front of my 2015 since my strut comes forward instead of the two going back but other than that it fits perfect. Great upgrade for the price.

Hello everyone! New to the forum, I just finished breaking in my 2019 Helix. Looking forward to playing around with making a great wake and wave now. 8)8)
Welcome to the forum, now get some pictures posted up so we can see that beauty:)
Bro you are crushing the forum with pictures of your boat sitting still on water!
They’re painful to watch.
(Hint: surf pics and videos.)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s not what we do here. Just boat pics! Or look at Facebook owners page.

Ready to throw some rollers.
