Well, I crash a lot, but that is more a function of my beginner status than size of waves (-:
I had read somewhere else that IF a mast crashes on the front tip of the board, even with a deviater or other deflecting device, it can cause a single bolt base to pull out - and that was some/most of the rationale for using 2 bolt bases.
OK, I'm on sheltered lakes with very light winds and definitely not getting upside down in mid air.
I would still like to get a peek at a board that has been opened up to reveal the mast track, even just some pics.
