Razor2 coldwater

[gearhound]

As promised, here are a couple of pics of the Razor2 in cold water with steel tanks. The diver is using 15lbs of weight and hp100's. He changed the bungees to thicker ones because the ones that came with it were too thin and stretchy. Other than that, it worked quite well. He was quite happy with it. There wasn't a lot of air in the wing submerged. And it had lots of lift to keep him comfortable on the surface swim. The secret was to lie right on his back to get the lift totally under him.
He's still doing some tweaking, but that's sidemount!

Those tanks are hanging pretty low. Does he plan on getting them to ride more on his sides?

Might be the new Razor front mount system.......does he need a card for that?

I don't suppose you can get some photos of someone using it with big steels and some stages eh?

I'm going to get mine wet this weekend for the first time. If I get it trimmed, (I'm taking both alums and steel 108's), I'll take pics. If I dont look like a dork, I'll post em up here.

But the water is going to be around 92 Deg. May be a short photo shoot in a 5M.

Yeah. I wear my stages (when backmounting) higher than that.

Boys, give him a chance! It was his second sidemount dive, and second in this rig. All in all, I think he did quite well. And I've seen how high the back ends of the stages get on some of you backmounters

I just realized how my post may have sounded. I didnt mean to imply he looked like a dork. I'm concerned that most of the time I do, and dont want you all to see that side of me until you meet me and like me. By then you'll all know I'm generally a... well, a dork. At least that what my 19 y/o daughter tells me regularly.

Heck I've never put on sidemount. This weekend will be my first attempt, hence my worry about looking stupid. I was told once I look like a volkswagon in a wetsuit. I've seen the pictures and its not far off... but I swim pretty... for a VW.
