I ride one since few days, a crossing 8'2 x 19"1/2 x 112ltr, i'm from a 7'7"x 20 110 dragonfly 2023/24 and it's a blast, really better balanced, easiest to handle, just a bit disapointed about feet placement cause the deck is a bit different...but really easiest to paddle and pop up in light conditions.
i ride today downwind with a 3m2 wing in some small bumps, ant the feeling in touch down is quite same than past one...for me one of rhe best board in town!
