Worlds worst review coming up . This board was purchased from the nice people at Board Crazy.
I cannot tell you a lot about this board as I have only used it a dozen or so times but I can comment on a few instantly noticeable things... It is fast enough , almost as quick as my slalom .F2 SX. especially paired with an appropriate pointer fin and Freerace sail.
It is VERY stable , easily up hauling a 7.8m sail in open ocean .
Nice BIG juicy pads , In saying that I found the straps slightly further back than what I'm used too , but seemed to be about right when Fanging.
Nice and Light . Smallish double concaves (compared to Tabou)
Like starboard say it has quite a flat rocker, A bit flatter than what I thought before purchasing. Being used to wave boards, I needed something for open ocean swell in lightish airs.. but too my surprise it seems to travel safely enough through modest chop and up to 20 knots'ish. I'm 74kg.
The main reason for this unfulfilling review is if anyone is contemplating one I'm happy to post photo's of any aspect of the board you are interested in as it's sometimes a challenge to judge from pictures on the websites (unlike RRD's wicked 3D studio pics ).
Happy Sailing
