Hi

I want to mention here the best boards I've ever had in terms of turn, planning, polyvalence side on/off, and balanced float & ride. A bit longer (234) than current overturning boards, not too wide, middle size tails.They were one of the first trifin production boards in 2011. I'm not a pro-rider, I look for easiness and enjoy in the water, not getting medals.

I've been looking for similar boards, good turning, some volume in the tail not to sink as soon as the wind goes down a little bit and easy float&ride, side on and off.

It's a pity my old 7thwave boards construction wasn't strong enough to last 20 years. I would buy them again.

If you know similar boards now, I'd appreciate you could tell me which ones.

Thanks. Cheers.

Flikka in Slovenia would make something to your specifications, in a variety of glass layups. I recently got a heavy duty s glass wave board and love it!

99 litre thruster, slightly shorter and wider than the standard, 223x 63, and 6.5-7 kg. haven't actually weighed it, but way lighter than my home made boards, so happy!
