I haven't tried one yet..But the new Pacifico Surf looks a lot better than the old Pacifico...But it still looks like a windsurfer..imo

Here's a few pictures that I took..You can see how it's quite thin and soft in the rails..It would be interseting to see how floaty it is while uphauling.

The grip deck is only in the foot strap area..I like the way it has holes for putting foot straps on it.

SHQ has one in their showroom..The quality is what you expect from Mistral...Excellent.

Haven't gotten out on the Pacifico wave yet, but it has alot more "V" in thet tails than the Pacifico, and more nose lift. It is designed to surf a lot better than the Pacifico. Finish and quality are A1. The board is a little more expensive than the Pacifico. But the board is far better for surfing. Yes it is a little heavier than the Naish boards.

Don't get to see much in NQ although one of the local guys has just got a Laird which was interesting to try.

What size Laird is it..and how did you find it compared to your Naish...Come on..be honest..

Worst mistake I made was using his carbon paddle, now I want one.

that mistake is gonna cost u $$$ ....but worth it though.
