I've just learned that these arrive in NZ on 11 Feb. I haven't seen any reviews online. Has anyone got any experience with them?
I have 3 or 4 sessions on a 70L now. Mostly parawinging 2.4 and 3.6 ozone PR's in our local bay. Board rips, I'm 80kg before a 5/4 wetsuit this time of year and coming off an armstrong 75l, I haven't missed the volume but I also haven't really needed to slog so hard to say on that front. As soon as the parawing has a little bit of pull it's been easy to pump onto foil. I think that flatter tail releases really well and it's an easy board to stand on and wait for a good gust. Touch downs haven't been an issue and it's been easy to pump back out of the hole with both ha780/uha870. I'm a fan of the slight concave by the front foot and the flat deck pad. I need to pull my foil and weigh the board, it's not full on custom light but certainly competitive. The board bag is really nice, zips from the top and bottom and fits the board well.
