Hi all, just need some comment on 2007 sx boards.looking at buying,wanted some feedback on performance and what to look for when buying a board of this age.
My focus would be to ensure it is the original weight and still has that fast & crisp feeling, other than that, I think it would be a good board at the right price.
The dimensions are modern at 235cm length ...

I had an F2 sx small by Patrik - Sold it to a mate and wish I still had it! It proved to me you don't need much skill to hit 35kn with a 5.8 in 30kn winds.
As with any board if its done a heap of miles or been cranked for a season by a heavy speed beast you will find negative rocker appearing ahead of the fin box. Its not always obvious as if the board is well constructed the negative is only apparent under load - so unless you are very skilled you probably won't pick it and the board will still be very fast in the right conditions..and in lumpier conditions if you have the leverage to keep the tail down(and the nose up).
Great boards in my humble opinion. Classics even..
Steve Stratfold had a 81 litre that I tried. It's a very small board,feels more like 75 litres to me. Superlight and eats chop!
Only problem I had with it,the front foot strap I found to be placed more in the wave or free ride position.
Possibly needs to be more parallel but not sure. Would have bought one were it not for this.
sweet board my favourite can't go wrong for gps sailing I sail a 2007 small 90 litre all the time , done 39.98 but a mate had done 42 on his, great for alphas and hours over 25 easy, use mine on pretty flat water with weedys as I sail at LG, looking at a 105 medium myself. the small airpipes are cool but not as much as the long tunnels in my old missile.
I had the 2007 90(small),105(medium) & 120(large),all great boards,upgraded to the new ones,as PD said check for soft spots,can't go wrong for a cheap carbon slalom board
