i've had like 5 minutes with the board.

it's small and it's fast.
interesting design.
shoots upwind and rides quite stable once you're up to speed.

but i would not recommend that board for anything else than speed'ish riding.

Hi

Thanks, is it faster than a ply in light to medium winds?
I assume this board only comes into its own in strong wind?

i tried it out in light winds the other day... figured witrh the 16powered good i will have flat water to get speeding...
too bad it wasnt enough wind to be really powered... but i could tell that the board wants to be fast...
