Subsonic swift 40 width helpOn sunday night I ordered the subsonic swift 40 as a pusher/pumper.
I need a little help what is the width of the nose and the tail section of the swift 40.
I purchased some Ibec11 83 mm fly wheels their a center set wheel.
I have the Tracker 106 racetrack S with the wheels mounted I have
3 1/4 inches between the wheels.
I like to keep the wheel base small so I don't hit the wheels when I push .
Thanks,

hey, did you ever get this board?
How did it work out for a pumping setup?

I did not get it I decided to get a proper LDP board after I played around on my exploration of different readily available boards that worked.
But still did not have that final thing I was looking for.
Easily extended pumping with only one or two pushes.
I finally got a real purpose designed LDP board a Long board Larry Walkabout model from a shop that had it in stock.
It's the best thing I ever did it improves your pumping quite a bit and works as pusher as well if set up right.
If It pusher your after Larry has a board model used by a couple guys pushing across the USA.
I liked the Walkabout so much I ordered a second one from Larry I was able to talk to him on the phone about my new board before ordering. Which is nice thing to do with a custom board maker kinda like you do with surfboard shaper. Call me old fashion but I still like to talk to real
people about what I am buying.
Plus what is cool each board has a serial number and Larry was able to tell me if the board I bought was a stiff flex or medium flex. Also the shaper signs and dates the board when it was manufacture. Just like surfboard and being a surfer I am use to this treatment.
Long Board Larry runs a class act IMHO.
