same for me (apart the 135)... getting darker each year

I quite like the fact that they don't try to sell you a "full carbon" board and insist on the bottom being pvc/glass.

I like the fact that this new website design is far better than the previous, with more info on the designs, sail range charts across the board range and recommended weight/wind strength - all in one or two tables on the same page...... make choosing a fleet of boards easier.......

I also like the extra grey on the boards compared to last year, although the overall aesthetic design/colour still looks poxy, but that's just my opinion - in saying that though, I have to admit that they look vastly different to every other brand that is using colour and go fast stripes to market their new boards, so the PD boards are in that way unmistakable....

noticed they have a 39 speed, tail width 268 at 300 and they have double straps , wouldn't you think it would be practical to have a single back strap for such a small tail width

What sort of fin box would you have with that? Just thinking of access to the screws, and positioning of the plugs in relation to the fin box. It would have to be a tuttle, and access is easier between two back footstraps.
