So we had a Banks Board at the PIF event, in which if I heard right HamachiJohn won it.  *lucky dog*

I'd figure for those that missed the event, here is a video of what it looks like and some of the features.

P.S. this is random, I grabbed the board and ran outside to the front yard to shoot it, some of the things I said make no sense, (you can get stainless steal parts on ebay, why the hell would you do that.. LOL)  Anyhow, its still fun to watch ..... (MUTED) hahahhahah



I am no way affiliated with their website, and do not work for Banks Board.  I am just doing reviews of things I have in my garage... LOL

I like the BB.  Thanks for the review Chaeki.  Have you done stand-up comedy before?  :smt003

Feel free to spend a week doing reviews of the stuff in my garage.   :smt005



I love my banks board - actually prefer the thinner green straps to the bulky (albeit more comfortable) khaki camo ones.  Not only does it fit in the hatch easily, but the board itself conforms to your back easier.

The board isn't for everyone, but the ability to customize everything just the way you want is very cool.  I've been using it as JohnBanks initially configured it, but was looking at it the other evening & realized there are ways I could better tailor it to my diving.  So many attachment points, integrated gun holders, etc... the rigging flexibility is really appreciated.   :smt004


If anyone on NCKA wants to check one out or even take it for a test drive, you're welcome to borrow mine for a test dive.   :smt003

HamachiJohn DID win it!

 :smt003

I have a KayakJack AbSnacther 3000 but when I eventually get a new one I will definitely look into the BanksBoard.

Chaeki/fuzz...I would be stoked to try yours out one day...just want to see how it handles 240+ pounds of man meat, 28 pounds of lead and a stringer of dinky kelpies and 3 clicker abs!

 :smt002 :smt005

I am sure it will do fine (just like the AbSnatcher does for me now) but before I invest it would be cool to get a test drive!!

Nice job on the review bro!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

It kinda looks like you have a little medical marijuana growing on the right side of the screen there.  I suppose that would explain some of the goofiness of the video.   :smt003  All in all I like your style!

I thought you were growing weed also! Hahaha, I like my Banks Board, Kinda wish it was a little bigger, oh well, can't have your cake and eat it too. Do you know whats up with the website? I'd like to order the bag attachment but the website was pretty much nothing last time I checked.

John is extremely busy with his boards, that he still hasn't got the board to the photographer to get the site going with the details, but if you post on his facebook page, he usually gets back to you.

John is so laid back, that if you call and he doesn't answer.. he will return your call..  Or do what I do... leave a msg " hey john, I took your board to cancun and got a whole bunch of crazy chicks nude on top of your board, call me back quick for the pictures"

lol
