Care to elaborate.


In my experience the PRV2 is far superior than the V1 and particularly for intermediate to advance riders but it needs to be harnessed to get the performance. It rips upwind very fast when pushed and faster than any single skin I have encountered yet and that includes the Naish which feels half a size smaller.

Reports seem to indicate the Frigate feels a full size smaller.

Having had many sessions now on the 4.3 and5m PR2 both DW, Dw/up wind and even wave riding - I have to say I completely agree with Hillys observations. Got me stuffed what ozone were thinking dumbing down the V1 - getting my 4.5m frigate soon - so will report back. I’ve got a lot of good things to say about the after burner but will politely decline being a negative nancy on the PR V2. But … wtf. ??

Looks good hilly, what do you think of the quality ?
Look forward to hearing what you think of it and how it compares to other assists you have used.

Sorry for delay hilly, I missed this.

Not to get too political here but it was a snide comment about the gubberment and the Treasurer seemingly being very short term reactive of late and having thrown away much of whatever they seemed to believe in.

The government was elected on a platform of 'get wages moving', and then throughout 2025 all the treasury discussion was about productivity, productivity, productivity. I'd suggest the two are very closely linked.

In the December MYFO Chalmers was spruiking the next budget would be all about productivity, productivity, productivity. But then the public discourse (or should I say media headline of the minute) shifted to cost of living and housing in particular. So the great productivity budget, planned since the last election, engaged with acedmics, buisness, industry groups and stakeholders thoughout the 2025 productivy round tables was instantly thrown in the bin and we got CGT changes instead to address the great housing driven cossi-lives media headlines of the minute.

But it seems these CGT changes were dreamed up in the space of a few days and are now taking months, if not years to iron out the big holes in them. And the biggest being that CGT changes were essentially equal across the board, being CG on productive or non-productive assets treated the same still. If you increase or decrease tax equally surely it doesn't change the incentive in what to invest in.

Anyways, could go on but you get the point.

Rally against 'populism' in the morning and then abandon political ideology and reacting to newspaper headlines in the afternoon. And with no credible opposition I don't why Albo and Chalmers ain't better than that.

Argh I see.

But I don't think Chalmers is deputy PM, isn't that Richard Marles / defense minister. And I believe Penny Wong is ALP leader in the Senate and would be 3IC.

Although I'd bet the real 2IC of the ALP is some shadowy figure working in the background that no-one but a select few even know exists. They will also be a militant unionist.


Barnaby would be a very entertaining PM. Well, unless you are an actual Aussie at which point I don't think it would be much fun at all.

I have no idea why Tanya P isn't deputy PM. Not saying I'd rate her ability in any single aspect, but for an all-round step-in when Albo is off getting an award from the UN for being a top bloke on the word stage I'd probably rate her ability to do nothing except hold it together higher than Dr Chalmers' ability to react to whatever the Guardian financial column is saying that morning and f*&^ing it all up .


Although maybe any of these should be top choice :

I've kinda come to realize each wing has its own personality... +s... -s... subtle differences in technique. Some are outright pigs, but- sometimes you just need more time to figure out what a PW likes before writing it off. This can be an issue with putting toooo too much stock in a review someone hasn't spent much time on, or trying a wing a short time. I have both Quest and PR V2s. Quest in 2.5, 4.5... PRV2 in 3 and 3.5. Out of the box PRs seemed like they have much better getup/ low end. You can point downwind/swell put it low in the window and pump them pretty good. First sessions on Quest I felt the same, little disappointed about low end. But once I figured them out after a few sessions, I'm actually pretty happy with them. The technique is just different... point downwind/swell, but I have the wing higher in the window with less rear line pressure. Feels like it is pulling me more up and forward than the PR which is a more flat/forward pull. In heavy chop swell though, Ive found I can use it to my advantage easily with bigger pumps/hops releasing my board out of the water rather than smaller pumps waiting for speed I use with the PRs.
