It was time to upgrade my slalom boards and I had been looking at a few of the well known brands and was stoked to be offered a team rider deal from The windsurfing Shed to ride Exocet's RS slalom boards. At first I was abit apprehensive about going to these boards simply because I didn't know anyone who was using them in Australia, in the end ordered up the RS 2 slalom board to try out , specs 90litres -59W- 235L. The first thing that struck me about the board when I received it was the colour scheme(alot of pink) not to my taste but glad they have gone away from the all black boards they would have died here in the 45deg c + summer , the RS2 has a squarish nose and pinched tail similar to most brands but no cut outs, the construction(carbon sandwich) and finish is first class. My first session on the water I used a Deb SL3 32cm and Loft Racing Blade 6.3, the instant I stepped onto the RS2 I felt right home, it planes very easily(I weigh 98kg) and feels real free on the water, there's no real sensation of speed because of the great comfort and control it offers I was very surprised to have 35+knts on the dial after a couple of runs through the chop, the best speed after 4 sessions now is 36.4knts done in approx 20knts of wind. The board will take sails from 5.2m-7.0m, there's no info on fin sizes on their site but at this stage I have only used the SL3 32cm. All in all stoked with the board and have ordered a 122litre RS5 as well, like every brand available they are all good but some may suit certain rider styles better than others, if your after a fast easy to ride slalom board give Remi a call and see if you can demo one, the colour has grown on me now and the pink looks nice on the water.

Excellent! I am a big fan of exocet boards. You just get on them and sail.

Very Nice board choc but what happened to the hair. dunno about the pink but still better than all black

Had mine for a few weeks but no wind until yesterday. You are right about step on and play, so much more fun and a lot easier than my old 90l 59cm slalom board. Really like them, I have the RS2 and 4 and will be getting the RS1 soon I hope.

Lucky Eric Bana was there to hold the board up for you. That purple would match the new Koncepts pretty nice

Had a quick sail on the RS5 wind was all over the place from 5knts to 30Knts+ in the squalls, just like the RS2 board felt very comfortable from the first ride, can't wait for a better day to get it tuned properly.
