I've got an RRD twin tip 100 litre board and its great for blasting, I use a 30cm free ride fin with a little sweep on the tip, usually with a 6.2m or 5.8m sail. Its a little twitchy when over powered but it accelerates quick and goes quick in a straight line.

Robot or not I'll answer.
1984 just started high school and the PE teacher Mr Quarm who lived in the same road sold me his board, I burrowed the money from my mother and did both a paper round and a magazine round, it was a Hiflyn 300 CS with a 6m and 4.5m sails that both set own the same mast, it had a slot in Fin and tie on boom, no harness or lines and the mast foot flew out every now and agin and smacked me in the nuts. Had a hang ten wetsuit. In todays world it would be an awful set up. I didn't plane for over a year but it was great.
I still sail now and have been in and out of the industry for 40 years. Love it.

I have got a Duotone 6.2m super star sail, it set with 2cm less extension and 4 cm less outhaul then the printed measurements on the sail. I have tried it to their measurements but its dead flat and too twisty.

What about "Shark Banz" its like a watch that goes on your ankle and puts the shark off with off set magnets. My misses got me one when I was circled by a hammerhead at Lennox head one time and I did nearly S**t myself as it was massive.
