After loving a few years on my F2's i wanted to up grade my speed and slalom boards and with Patrik the designer of those boards now out doing his own brand i decided to try them out.
I got a 43 speed, a 48 speed and a Slalom 92, there is some big changes in shape and volume. The 43 Speed is 61ltrs and the 48 is 71, a bit more volume than my older boards and hoping this will make them a bit easier to get going.
The Slalom 92 is very differant to my old slalom and looking forward to jumping on this.
Heading to Sandy tomorrow to try them out, put some info up later
A few pics to have a look at.

pfff slow gear mate I over take them all the time like they are standing still
got some bites lol, some people are so thick talking about the trucks ...derr
There you go Choco i got rid of ya red thumb!! No sense of Humor some times.
Anyways a few thoughts on the boards............. Fantastic! really pleased with the feel of all of them, felt at home on the first run. the most noticable part was the volume of the boards, it made getting going so easily even the 43 and I'm about 98kgs sailing, today was a day you wouldn't normally get on the 43, less than 20kts.
The slalom was also pretty sweet rips around corners with ease, holding some nice speed.

Sounds good Jacques
. The boards went well but how did the truck go
The boards do look very nice
.
Had a great home session on the Speed 48 this morning, i am in love with this board, it is one of the most user freindly speed of have sailed, i am close to 100kgs and it is very easy to get going, i used to own a 2006 F2 Sx 90ltr Slalom, and i would put these two boards on a par for floatation, a had a ball getting some great easy speeds and some great controlable gybes. As soon as we have a solid 20 knots this board is going to be on the water!!!
Happy Days and Merry Christmas peoples!!
