A friend has one. He seems happy with how it rides, but at least his board has had some construction quality issues. Some of the surface coat fell off right next to the handle very early on and more recently the tail kick pad came off completely.

I have the 5.0 for over a year now. At 95 kg wet a great allrounder for light and strong winds. Initially a bit wobbly, but with a stinkbug start a very nice short board that gets you home when the wind dies, but is also great in the waves and stronger winds. I have the carbon one and it's proven to be pretty vulnerable when traveling a lot.

Thanks, looks like the tracks are pretty long so should work with a variety of foils

I have a 5.0 in the pro construction. Been a great board and no problems with the quality at all. The long tracks are great but I will say that they are around 1mm too wide so you have to be carefull when doing up you bolts as the T-nut can swivel a little in the box. Also it seems JP must have a faulty tape measure in the factory because the board measures in at 4'8 on the deck and 4'10 along the rocker. It's is substatially shorter than a 5.0 Fanatic. I would definitley buy one again. Love the shape.

I have 75l. Good fun. Very short with minimal swing weight. No construction issues to date. Only issue is the very square nose does not fair well if dropped into water/ chop.

I have the 75L pro and love it. It has a raised part in the center of the back grip pad wasn't something I'd thought id care about but it is actually really handy ??

Here are pictures of the board Juri mentioned earlier. It seems like the deck padding was glued on poorly, because the rips appeared after the first few sessions and now the whole tail kick has come off. Our local conditions are pretty benign, so the board hasn't been abused and my previous Gong board lasted over two years with just some small scrapes here and there even though I was much more careless with it.

The shop where I bought the board has opened a warranty case with the manufacturer, but it's been 6 weeks with no results so far, so I'm not super impressed about this.

On the water the board is nice though!
