OK I'm missing total distance for Gestalt, alpha for Nebbian, and all numbers for QldSalty and Haggar.

As soon as I get these numbers I'll post on the site. I don't think we can dethrone SA but we can come close.

Great Gestalt, I spend ages stuffing around with yesterdays track. Nearlly tossed the old laptop out the window as it locked up and overheated just as I got it sorted. Very frustrating.

Thanks heaps.

Man check out the ahhh ... hem! on that one.

Hope it's got cutouts [}:)]

Love to give it a go, but wouldn't want to be the first to crack 30 on someone else's dream machine

well it's butt has the famous channel and step with the manta tail.

so in short, yes, very big cutouts. basically the wetted area is almost zilch and the pressure at the rear of the board is minimal when planning. (that is what the cut outs do)

trust me nebs, you ain't going to be the first to do 30 on it.

unlike my proto needle
which is meant for 20+knots on a broad course.

this one will go to windward,
will rip on a beam reach
has the extra volume for when the winds marginal.
will carry my 7.5m

the board also has the newly designed entry shape to the channel to stop it catching on the swell in front and to increase early planing.

can't wait.

and yes, you can definately take it for a spin. the whole team will i am sure.

So it's basically a trimaran you stand on?

Love the colour scheme, reminded me of a big rubber raft with a wooden floor

Sounds quick anyway. Hopefully I can resurrect the Flow so the team can crack 30...

When's the next big southerly coming? You reckon Pierre might deliver?

no, it's not a hypersonic.

hi fitz,

nice one. can't wait to put the two together. the Koncepts haul so you'll be getting over 30 now.

check out the KA website. they have a forum dedicated to the Koncepts. there are some good tips.
