IMO I think the Evo/Fish thruster boards, with 3 equal fins or with one large and two small fins are sweet. Not all of us live in Hawaii so these type of boards are perfect. It seems like all the windsurf companies are bringing out an evolutionary design which I think is great.

What do other people think of these types of boards? Or do the majority of windsurfers prefer Acid style traditional shapes? I'm refering to onshore SW slop in Perth with the odd trip outta town to more DTL waves

I guess the question is which style of board would you get the most use/fun out of (assuming you only have 1 waveboard)

A traditional'DTL'waveboard OR A wide/onshore waveboard

To avoid comparing different makes, perhaps you could ask which would be a better single waveboard quiver for a WA windsurfer? an Acid or an Evo?

Personally I don't go out 'wave sailing' much around Perth beaches, I spend most of my sailing time bump and jumping. When I do wavesail it tends to be at out of town spots where the waves are easier and more fun to sail.
I have always used a 'traditional' style waveboard as I favour control, speed and release for jumping over early planing. But maybe I'm wrong and should have been using an Evo all along.

I did try one once and it was Ok, is there anyone out there that uses both and can give a definitive answer which suits WA sailing better?
