Nice video DJ, you finally got to test the WOW 14', what you think about it?

Thanks to Stu for letting me try his new WOW14 and although it wasn't windy enough to really test its DW ability.. it was super stable.. and fast.. It caught tiny runners with ease and most importantly it's beautiful to look at.. .. It's such a nice shape and doesn't mind side chop.. The nose didn't push water and the tail didn't drag.. I wouldn't hessitate in recommending this board.. If I had to pick something I didn't like (and being overly picky) I'm not sure about the black deck grip and how it might heat the board up in summer.. But then it does have a Gortex vent screw so that's a good thing.. Looking forward to trying it in some more wind.

Nice. I am happy with mine with the 2 times I have used it in the week after buying it. Forecast here is for 45km/hr winds around midday so I might be able to give it a run in DW conditions.

cheers

Yesterday we downwinded from Point Ormond to Ricketts Point - about 13 km. The wind was a bit variable, but the highlight was the dolphins that were having a good feed of fish then swimming with us - fantastic
