Actually the illustrated sponsons were designed and cut a few days prior the Mark Hahn race. Most of the riders (J-B Botti, Raphael Maruin, Dustin Motzouris, Emi Kanamori, Mike Klippenstein, Gerry Worng, etc) were using the particular deeper blades on their race crafts. The R&D SX-R sponsons were the No1 choice of the all riders.
