Of course there parallel. That's the way it is and that's the way it should be but who knew. well, PG knew. Someday I'll order a drop rail, spanking new crisp version of my beloved XL-RT as a contrast to the blue jean worn version I have now (currently on loan to Da Bolt).

My trusty Standard is a few years old now and has become very pliable with a noticeably different feel from when it was new. Sort of like a favorite pair of broken in Levis. <br /><br />Switching between my still quite new Lotus and good old Standard provides contrast that makes me equally appreciate both the crisp fresh drop-rail feel and the soft-and-drifty easy-turning well worn flat pontoons sensation. Neither is better or worse, but definitely different. These are my two go-to mats. The mellow soft Standard for playful surf, and the crisp ultra-precise extra-grippy Lotus for powerful waves. Super-Stoked! <br /><br />MAXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289837270278241948.post-68716862189369650372014-05-05T21:50:26.306-07:002014-05-05T21:50:26.306-07:00This is why I like the 4GF system so much.

Given that everything about mat riding is in flux, it's beneficial to design and build in a methodical manner.misterdirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397330606862971507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289837270278241948.post-66424673274273094132014-05-05T03:55:07.644-07:002014-05-05T03:55:07.644-07:00Very interestingVery interestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289837270278241948.post-86814694372099071402014-05-05T00:33:14.728-07:002014-05-05T00:33:14.728-07:00Love it.
