The 85 has a deep Tuttle box.

The only drama with that so far is that I need to use some longer bolts to use with my standard Tuttle fins.

A shame because the Severne bolts are great with their hex socket heads.

I had some spare Phillips head bolts already but I will get some hex socket ones so I can keep using the 'easy to use' Severne allen key for all my boards

No review just yet, I only picked up the board today, but stay tuned.

I hope to get it on the water next week and will post a proper rundown then.

I'm hoping it performs in the same way as my Mega 73 and Mega 63 boards, but with the improved light wind performance you get from 85cm width and 148 litres volume.

















In the mean time, here are some pics of the board

I had a similar problem recently with another courier.

I have a separate debit card for certain online transactions, and it only holds a balance for the expected amount.

When I received their email I responded with:
I measured item correctly 3 times.
Sent photos, dimensions were not shown though
Advised I paid with debit card so any further debit would fail
Advised I would report any additional charge to my financial institution as fraudulent
Asked them to supply me their evidence (given they asked me for mine)

They replied and explained how couriers measure accurately with precise equipment and explained why differences can occur (all plausible) but did not keep evidence because it was too costly timewise.
They informed me they would not apply extra charge in this instance.

It would be interesting to know if they attempted to do so but failed (and why they then sent me email to notify of extra charge.
A bit of extra trouble on my part but I already had a specific debit card for online purchases
