Does anybody have any experience with this big board.
Supposedly boosting huge and for light wind ... I am
looking for a larger non race board for light wind situations
up to about 15-18 knots to fly with a Core 17m XR LW or
my North 16m Rhino.

I currently have a
140x40 North Xride and a
134x42 Carved Imperator IV full carbon

I have looked at the Crazyfly Cruiser LW and the North Spike
with a preference to the Cruiser being only 154cm.

I have the feeling that over 160cm may be a bit big, but they say
that the predator is unique in its pop with a huge flex so it would
also serve as a fun jumping board and not just a low wind cruiser.
I mean in higher winds from 20+ you would have to fight such a big
twin tip and rather not use it, right ?
A bit hard to demo I guess because nobody had one around Perth I think.

Other suggestions welcome.

I also have 2 surf boards (6'4" and 5'10") but I am specifically looking
for a twin tip to jump because the 5'10" is a glass board and does not
like to be landed hard, which will happen with my jumping skills :) ...
