On my endless quest for the perfect one-board quiver, I'm considering purchasing an OMEN board.I weigh 73 kg and typically sail in Japan (gusty winds and very sharky waters).Has anyone tried the OMEN Emissary 66L or 55L?
The "official" reviews are all so positive, so I'd love to hear whether the takeoff is as fast as their PR suggests.I ride F-One foils, so any feedback on how well they pair would also be greatly appreciated.
Omen boards are known for exceptional and bizarre low end capabilities. While I have not yet tested the emissary, the v1 flux 60l was a shocking revelation to me at 86kg. When properly powered I felt like that board was outstanding. The emissary should be better.
I have the emissary in 55l at 80kg. I like the board very much. It's very responsive and it has large tracks so I guess most foils will fit. I ride it with afs. With the stinkbug start you can get the board going very quickly. Only in heavy chop/onshore winds I'd suggest going for higher volume.
