My Comments:
Everything I have heard and read about this board is true !!!
Having grabbed a demo board from Kite Addiction, I loved it straight away and bought one very the next day.
It is a dream to ride, it planes early, goes upwind well and soaks up the chop giving you a really smooth ride.. With this board, knee jarring sessions in chop will be a thing of the past.
Riding toe side is really comfortable, with the soft edged rail, even though thick providing reassuring grip.
I have windsurfed for many years and know that hard edges give a hard ride and soft edges give a soft ride, and that is what I think makes this board so nice to ride
The upturned tips are a real bonus allowing the board to ride over waves & chop while minimising spray in your face.
And as for jumping the V in the hull makes for soft landings
The standard of fittings is good with comfortable pads/straps and good quality G10 fins.
Sadly these boards are not being made any longer so get them while you can.
At their price these boards are great value for money..
