Do you mean the 14 x 23 LE [Lenny board]

Thanks! but these are the 2013, not the 2014, aren't they?

Yes.. But I'm pretty sure they are the same shape.. Just slightly different graphics and deck pad.

It's already VERY fast in flat water..

how was the 2013 in terms of rider weight? no problem for "medium sized" guys like me? (188cm/80kg)
the 12'6 of last year (~200 liter) felt more like a submarine to me..

IMO.. It is a problem for medium size paddlers unless you have very good skills and/or it's not too choppy.

The new X26 is a much better board IMO.. (Both 12'6" and 14')

Hi Swiss, I'm also not quite sure if the LE23 is exactly the same, but if there are changes they'd be absolutely minor. I'm a couple kg's heavier than you and for me the x26 is much more stable and faster in flatwater than the 23. I think this is partly because I sink the 23 too much and despite the board being narrower I feel it glides a little less. It accelerates really well on each paddle stroke but then it slows down quite quickly again. The x26 just seems to glide a little longer between paddlestrokes for me. I still think the 23 might be faster but that I'm just not fit enough to keep a high enough cadence. Lighter fitter riders fly on the 23.

I've done tons of timetrials on the 23 and the MC Javelin and I'm faster on the MC - I've only done one TT on the x26 and my initial feeling is that it's virtually on par with MC.....and downwind its just a weapon!

On paper the SB Sprint should be a little faster than the 23 which is a hybrid, but there wouldn't be much in it. Kai Lenny still wins races on it....
