The Biscuit Model

So this is the Biscuit just before it was sent away to the mold maker.
After a couple months of work by the mold makers the molds have come back to us ready to rock and roll.
The whole Legacy team jumped in to get these things going fast.
There is a lot to figure out to get a boat into production.
We spend a couple days making sure all the parts fit well, the logos are placed right,
the thicknesses are to our spec, and the shape of the boat itself is what I am looking for in performance.
As cliche as it sounds its like a new baby arrives in the plant.
Everyone comes around to see how it looks and congratulations go all the way around the factory.
So check it out on http://shaneslogic.net

What is his preference, small hole, small wave, biiiiig wave ? Nice shape

Yes...
She loves it all.

Wow so coooooooooool, big loops, looooooong cartwheels, big air in wave ?

We will just have to see...

Il est vraiment superbe ce bateau.

Il ressemble un peu au Fluid Element, coque tendue, carres marquées, ça doit accélérer ! À première vue l'arrière m'a l'air un peu gros Mais très joli design.

Yes my boats are usually a bit longer behind the paddler than many other designs because I like the boat to be very balanced. I think many boats are to heavy or short in the stern. This little extra length helps with speed as well as smooth cartwheels and back loops that get out of the water. As well as help with running the river.

I think MacFly was not talking about the stern lenght, but rather the stern volume.

I like the design of the boat, especially the big bumper all around.

Aaah my French is still a little rusty. Never mind its terrible.
The boat is very balanced for volume I think.

Why Biscuit ?

Well its hard to explain. Here in the South of the United States we take our Biscuits seriously.

And in fact I think the world loves biscuits. They are different things to different people but everyone loves a biscuit.

I even named my dog Biscuit.

How is that for an explanation?

Ok I know, I know...

I see that your dogs are very sad ... Who is Biscuit, the white or the brown ?

Biscuit is the Brown one. She is actually the mother of the other.

Ok nice family story

And when do you export the Biscuit in France ?

That is a very good question.
My guess would be the end of February or first of March.

ma.gni.fique ce shape !!!!

Il est déjà prévu à la vente!

c'est vrai qu'il est beau .
reste a voir si il est mieux que le ronin

Thank you for looking.
I think you will like it, but if you don't you can always plant flowers in it because it will also make a beautiful vase.

PS: The Biscuit is ready, and Anthony Yap was leaving Bliss-stick... do you know his next partner Shane???

be careful guys!

I know Biscuit. And she's full energy!!!
The biscuit could be a space machin.
Are you ready to fly ?

P.S: Biscuit love to eat croc's.

And do you know what french people are famous for? They dip not only their croissants in coffee, in milk etc... but their biscuits too... well at least when i'm abroad it seems i'm the only one doing this, and people tell me: "typical french"!

So you understand what i mean? We already know how to manage biscuits and liquids together!

ok, i'm leaving...

Les Japonais l'on déjà essayer!

The Biscuit look like a lot at the Vision and some similarity at the Space Cadet...

On the vidéo, the paddler at skook is very easy to spin... For you, is it a mix with the Space Cadet and with the Vision, or an other thing ???

Thank

Looks pretty big as well isn't it? How much? Is there different sizes?

A new candidate for the next worlds... Interresting... Who gonna be the paddler who's going to defend the boat for the event?

Nice work anyway, looks awesome in green skook!

To me it is a different boat but of course the history of those two boats are in the Biscuit. This boat is faster than both, and very loose like you can see in the video. It is very smooth and even cartwheeling. The Biscuit also has a nice smooth feel on edge, easy to set up for moves, and it releases really well.

There are three sizes. 45, 55, 65. The Green on is the largest size.
