Rick,

Tom's board is a nice lightwind board.
But, it weighs alot. Most people couldn't even carry it out to the launch site, let alone try a railey with it on their feet.
I am surprised it didn't rip Tom's legs off at the moment of take off!
I think the weight of the board (along with the sharp rails) had alot to do with his injury on this one. Tom, do you think a lighter board would have done the same damage?
I know that once you get a lighter board under you, you will be pulling raileys off while yawning.
