ASCI 4 adjustable features

It has more than just these four features, but the cool thing is that these four are adjustable. They can change the shape of the bottom to make more of a hole or a waves. Seems that they run 2 pumps in the morning to keep the CFS down, and they make the play features flatter and more forgiving. Then in the afternoon they turn on 3 pumps and change things to make the waves/holes better for play

looking upstream at drops A & B gives a good perspective on the gradient

Topolino Nostalgia

I have completely fallen in love with the Dragorossi Mafia, but I still hold a certain nostalgia over my Topolino days. I had seen a couple posts by people on Boatertalk asking about the Topolino and thought I would post a picture from the days when I used to go kayaking in my trusty turd (it was even brown). Brings all new meaning to running the $#!t
Enjoy.

IR backband on DragoRossi "elite" seats



This is what the Performance series DragoRossi boats are all about. Some people just insist upon getting everything that they want (instead of paying for all the manufacturer's extras)



This is my old Squashtail. I sold it to someone and he had some old hip pads that he threw in. He also really loves the IR Reggie backband and wanted it in his boat. Why not? Everyone is different. Every backband fits every person differently. So, gettting the right fit it is important.



This happens to be an Elite boat, so he had to remove the old backband. But if it was a Performance boat he would have paid less for the boat (new) because it is ready to receive many different outfitting systems.



The IR backband easily slipped into the stock backband's seats slots. Simple swap. Easy conversion. Nice job!
