I'm looking at buying a 14' JL Sidewinder or Bark Vapor. Both have excellent reviews as all round and downwind boards but I can't find downwind video. I'd expect YouTube to have some but it's all very mild paddling. Can someone put up a link if it exists because the reviews on the boards lose credibility with no support.
Not that I don't trust the reviewers but hey surely.
Hi Shinywhenwet,
I just took some Gopro footage of me doing a great downwinder in 20-25kn a week or so ago but I have't had the time to play around with it & edit it....I'll see what i can do & post it for you but here's a couple of photos from it....The Sidewinder goes unreal in the bumps & I raced it in the KOTC & I'm on the 14x25" Carbon Sidewinder...Cheers



Thank you for taking the time to post some photos.
I am looking forward to the GoPro video.
Much appreciated.
