yes, very happy with my Glide (GS) but always looking at progression. i saw a few Javelins (pre-2014 it seems, from the noses) that did the Doctor. i was wondering if getting on runners easier with a faster board would be a good thing over a distance. the tradeoff would be dealing with the technique to stay on them, made easier because we have many days where breeze is below 18kt. my Glide comes alive above 18kt. 10 sec glides with minimal paddles. if the rocker was the same the Jav would be exactly what i would buy next to make those low breeze days more fun, but it seems it isnt that simple.
The LE x26 is that board - it does low wind and highwind downwinders equally well and stability falls in between Glide and Javelin....it gets on runners with minimal effort and railroads over bumps like a champion...
