A super angry Port Phillip Bay today with big breaking waves everywhere and nasty messy wind chop. Great day to try a new board
Rigged 4.7 Kiamikaze and out I went.
First impression....it felt small. I would have been sailing at 95 kilos with the winter steamer and the 58 wide 89 litres did feel little. It also was not actually that windy and except for a coupe a squalls, one where I go nicely spanked, I was underpowered.
However the board felt excellent when I was powered up. Super smooth and pretty fast but also turns great and if you carve hard it really throws spray. It felt just like a small version of the 98 which is exaclty what I was after.
I really need a 4,2 day to give it a proper workout and it will rip for sure.
So far very happy.
