Has anyone ridden the RRD Wave Cults or Excocet Universal Waves?? What are these like if anyone has had experience with them?
Cheers

I have tied an exocet wave board and found it mellow and stable, bordering on boring

Thanks guys, I have a Maui Proj Style M atm 95L, i weigh 60Kg, still do mainly river sailing my want to push into the ocean and waves asap so i want to get a wave board that still can get me planing in the river. Ill be going RRD Excocet or Angulo (thats what more local store packs) what volumes u guys think i can aim at ..... i was thinking about 85L but not sure how well the new boards get planing nowdays, also i only have a 5.2m sail for the time being.

Nemore feedback on the boards would be great
Cheers

Waterstarts are no probs for me, Jibes arnt perfect yet but they are getting there ... just need more time on water for them, been trying a few one handed gybes and prolly start trying out duck gybes as soon as i get some wind. In the river i like to try a bit of hopping and maybe so me free style stuff soon so i like a bit more than cruising :)

THanks Paul,

I have a 2001 board atm so dont want to "downgrade" ... I dont mind spending the moeny for a new model ... ill sell my old so it shouldnt be that bad to change over, for the time being ill look at a bigger wave board i think so i can still get some river use and get out and learn in the waves ... when it comes times ill just change over again ... works out fairly economical especially if ya love the sport :)

if you are looking at the exocet range, I would go with the universal wave 78. as i posted earlier, I have the 88 and it gets me going well at 95kg. they seem to feel like they have more planing power and here vol would sugest. perhaps it because of there wider than normal max width. it would do the job. With the angulo range, be carefull also not to go to big as aparently the 85ltr wave board carrys more vol than stated. look at the 75ltr. dont know much about rrd, but know someone who has the 77freestyle wave and sounds like it would be the best in the range for waveriding/blasting and geting planing early. only thig about them is that they are very light and I havn't herd to many raving reports in the past about there strength, but you wouldn't be heavy enough to do to much damage( unless you land it flat from a great height!!!!).
on a compleatly different note, I know someone who has a second hand wave board for sale. Its a Drops 8'5 79lt. very nice waveboard indeed. I dont think that you would here anybody say a bad thing about them, apart from thay are hard to find. Its in imaculate condition and hasn't been trashed in the surf. I know that you say you dont want old, but its definately worth a look. I think he wants a $1000 for it but mabey less. thats between him and the purchaser. if interested call Craig:0417 187 699.

Can Vouch for the MP Style M.
This board rocks.
Not sure why you would want to sell it though if your getting a 77ltr.
94 and 77 make a great two board quiver.

Hi Dave ,
That was a very articulate and well written helpful review of your board, sounds like your really happy with your board.
