AnyBoard said..Retina said..They are late to the game. 777 has already realsed everything I/we need. They should have announced things earlier! Ozone too, you never know with Ozone when/if they realse. They should have realsed the PR v2 and PP at the same time.
Hybrid is great specially in smaller sizes!
Hahaha Your taking the p!ss.
If hybrids have a future then there is plenty to improve upon from the 777. Maybe for over 20 knots a hybrid might make sense but more likely the reliable PW companies will have the same performance or likely better in a single skin. The only thing that 777 hybrid is delivering over a PR or frigate right now is comfort in very strong gusty winds. But you do give up so much for that, response, weight, bulk, price and pack away.
Well we are in our off season in Western Australia and winds are variable as can be. I'm having a great time on the 4.3m hybrid and haven't experienced anything that goes upwind in such a huge wind range. From 15 to over 30 knots I'm out pointing others consistently. Low end is more than acceptable and pack down is fantastic, packing down to almost nothing. Only downside is lack of dynamic feel and low end jibing but this just takes more skill and more than attainable. I'm keen to try this new BRM and remain a huge supporter of the brand but it's going to take a very good offering to take me away from the hybrid at this time of year, the wind range is just so good.
Hooked in I can ride upwind so well. Easily better than wingers. Lean out with one hand on the bar harness swings way round stand straight and have a ball.
