I have a 5'3" Helium Evo. It's my first FW board, so can't compare.

I love it, it's a really light board. I can't use it to keep a kite in place on the beach.

I've put a full deck pad on it, as I find wax is too hard on my feet in the chop.

I'm glad I got one, as it's an amazing board.

I've kept my Airush Converse 6'1 for stronger days.

I weigh 97kgs

Holy, sounds almost to light! Think my old Vader 5,1 ticked in at 3,1 kg. I need to get my hands on one 8)

Does anybody know of a european dealer which isn't crazy expensive?
I saw Realwatersports have them for 899 usd.

Yes, I was a bit worried at first.

But it seems to be the same strength as before.
Have about 35 days on it.
Looks about the same as FST before after that time.
