COMMENTS:
“Very bouncy,” said a sailor who sailed the board before Randy French brought the correct fin. His rating, including a 2 in Handling, was thrown out.

“Felt like a much bigger board,” said another who gave it a string of 2’s (also thrown out) on that much bigger incorrect fin.

“Excellent light-wind freeride board. I had a long session, always on a plane.”

“A race/slalom rig (6.25 Aerotech cambered sail) in Maui surf with light wind, immediately following a 4.4 day and late party night.not exactly exciting.”

“Very quick to plane and showed a great range, flying over the water when the wind picked up and remaining very stable.”

“Nonskid, pads, fins good, straps could be better.”
