Note: You can always rivet the SNU to the pole and this would never happen ... downside is that then you can't take the hoop off if you need to travel with the spin pole outside your trailer box.

I preferred the none mesh bottom bag, less drag on the chute and never had any issues with water in the bag. Functionally, pretty much the same as a simple hoop. If I broke a hoop or needed to replace the bag then I would replace it with the SNU.
I always riveted it.

Unregistered | i did have a question about the mesh bag i have seen, My friend has one on his TheMightyHobie18, and it looked a bit abrasive to me... any issues with that mesh wearing spins out faster than the old sail material ones? | | | Re: SNU snuffer question

Posts: 1,304 Gulf Coast relocated from Cali... | I just ordered a Snu for my N20. Been meaning to for a long time. I don't thing the pole breaking at the rivets is an issue. I've broken at least 3 poles from driving the bows into a wave too fast and they have all broken at the bridal wire/pole support area. If the rivets were an issue, I would have had at least one failure there. Initialy I was concerned about drilling holes and rivets due to possibly creating a weak spot. In my experiences, that just hasn't been the case. Dennis is constantly evaluating the Snu and what could be done better. I don't think there is any other system on the market that has that kind of "evolving" engineering behind it. Besides, Dennis is just a cool mofo.
