evo 75 all the way buddy

it 'll be your best freind all year around

you might find yourself getting rid of your 85 and your 69

what a coincedence that i happen to have one for a giveaway price in the for sale sction

What you guys reckon about the new Quatro twinfins coming out, 63 69 abnd 76!!

I just got my 2008 fanatic new wave 75 a few weeks ago..
had one sail, was about 30knots cross off mast high and the board was amazing!
felt very confident on the wave and not too fast!
will let you know more when i get more sailing on it if you want!

Joel

Don't forget the dvd and sticker!

How they make a profit I don't know!

yeah the quatro twins look good. i'm pretty keen to a 76 for days when it's a light wind but a big swell. something floaty but the twin fin should help pull the rail in a bit more so it may be like sailing a smaller board. i imagine.

i'm supper keen to try one.

maybe someone would like to lend me one to use in the up coming Nomadic event in november??

If you want to save money try taping three 2liter milk cartons to your Goya (69+2+2+2), simple!

hi greenroom ;

EVOs are really good boards, and I can understand that you love yours, but all the shapers from all the brands are doing a really good job, we all are diferent in our wavesailing style, size, weight...When a rider doesn't like a board it's not because it's crap, it's because that board doesn't fit to him

regarding the "american" crap, most of the guys working with Goya international (Francisco Goya, Argentina) and Quatro international (Keith Teboul, Madagascar) are not americans, they moved to Hawaii because they love windsurfing and I can't see anything wrong for brands specialised in waveboards to have office and workshops 5mn drive from Hookipa

Thats why you get boards that are shaped and or tested here in the West...
I just used that term American crap because all the stuff coming from Hawaii really has no place here. Why make and test a board at Hookipa and then sell it here in Perth?
I agree with what your saying about each board is different for each person. I just am an Evo fan and believe that Scotty has put alot of time and effort into this board which he uses on our coast here. Am I right in saying this?

wow one of the most opinionated threads i have seen yet.
Try as many boards as you can. They are all good! Even though I am pushing Tabou I think there are lots of very good ideas in most of the boards. The Evo is not the only one!!

Greenroom
Happy to hear that you love Scott's job as much as we do.. believe me. I'm repling to your unjustified comments...re: That our boards are'n suited to Aust conditions...We spend last few years working with Quatro and Goya to make those babes rip in our conditions (they already rip everywere else). How? Constantly collecting and responding to feedback from teamriders and customers.Next time you go sailing I suggest that you should check out how many of those boards are in the water and who is riding them. Ask them for their opinion. You will realise that are more Australian than what you believe. We still hold an Australian wave title with them... not too bad for something that you mentioned NOT to be made for this place.
BTW at the end of September, Pascal Bronnimann from Quatro International, (probably some of you already know him from hanging around Margi couple of season ago) will be here joining us for some testing in Gnaraloo. It's a great chance to meet him and ask some question about the boards.
Best wind & waves to all.

To all of you: buy a board, ride it and shut up!

All modern boards are excellent.

I've got a lot of respect for Scotty, his job, and starboard in general,

but believe me, I've been riding many boards, many years and in many diferent locations,
and if Goya or Quatro boards weren't what I believe to be the best for wavesailing in Perth and WA, I wouldn't waste time and energy riding them

Said that, I respect everybody's choice regarding boards models and brands, and I believe that whatever we ride, if we have fun, it's ok ;

I'm going surfing,

eric

nice comeback

you never surf with your wetty any way eric, whats new? or is that only with the SUP

It seems now from reading different threads around the place that most boards seem to be fairly good at what they are designed for. In the past it may have been easier to find duds but as technology has improved it seems that most boards are fairly good quality, and theres huge amount of brands now.

From what I have read Naish / Tabou didn't have the super reviews in the past but now they seem to get quite alot of good feedback (nothing against the brands but I had to use an example that I've read stuff about!). Brands like Quatro/Goya/Tabour I hadn't heard much about 3-4 yrs ago but now they seem to be quite high profile high quality, is this just a case of technology improving and the market is easier to break into cost/production wise?

What was starboard reviews/quality like early on? It seems about 4 yrs ago there was a flood of starboards onto the market ... and they seemed to be quite cheap (price wise) and especially on the second hand market, seemed like everyone had one (could be something to do with a large number of shops carrying them). Anyone else notice this trend? I wonder if it was a strategic decission because now looking at their prices they have increased a fair bit in comparison to other brands that may already have been a but more pricey.

Did I just write a bit too much? I think it still flows with the thread :p
