I was trying to order this board (carbon 70 model) but none available at the time...coming from 2 years on the prior rocket wing S 70 litre. But I have to admit I have had my head turned by the new Project Drag board in 72...looks very very exciting...albeit a bit longer than I was planning.
ps
A lot of local fone riders seem to be gravitating to the new freesurf for winging even if its more aimed at para? P
Free surf and free downwind boards have been available for longer, I think thats a big part of it. Rocket wing s only landed in europe a couple of weeks ago because of some manufacturing delays and logistics issues related to the unrest in the middle east. I might have considered the free surf if I were 50-60kgs, but then again a small size Wing S is probably also a killer board and would fit my style better.
You're not the first to mention the project drag in this context, which surprises me as these shapes almost cant be further apart. The project drag is a full displacement hull whereas this is a planing shape. I have to say it has interested me too though, the project drag board has something appealing to it when you look at it ;).
