I ride a 5-11 Xtreme they are out of Brentwood California they are shaped in Santa Cruz for Xtreme , the comments on how to weight your boat is interesting typically a v drive standard rotation is good for regular stance but not for goofy were as a direct drive would be better for a goofy foot stance all the weight you can put in a boat will not correct for the rotation of the prop blast . Some manufactures are offering the v drive boats in right or left rotation for this reason also some have side exhaust ports to aid in keeping the exhaust fumes out of your face . H29
