Great stuff !!

Nice work with the "Come On" timing !! Plus a little self grooming.

Water seems to exit the tail quite well too, as per Mast Cam. Appears to be difficult to jibe though (???).

Good vid and great sounds.
I was paddling at Kurnell this afternoon and was passed a few times by a few kitesurfers and windsurfsers. All gave a friendly nod or acknowledgement. It occured to me then how similar we all are, and now you just proved it over again.
Keep up the footage. Always an enjoyment.
Jase.

very cool.
but just wondering, what do you like better as far as sailing goes, the 12 or 14'. ?

The 12' Glide seemed to jump on the plane quicker than the 14 but I think in gusty and light winds the 14 is slightly better and faster.

The 12'er jibes much better and turns better because of the different tail and rail shape.. Both are great boards for flat water windsurfing.

I assume that you saw my other vid windsurfing the 12' Glide that I posted a week or so ago.

thanks, im just trying to decide which one to get.. right now im using an old mistral equipe as my flatwater/lightwind board.
and i have starboard 11 2, but it just doesnt want to plane under sail power.
