Starboard 95 litre fish totally ripped back in the day (10 years ago or more) - i could totally throw it around with my 80 kg - super vert reos on tap in virtually no wind
it planed up super early too - so was nuts for getting a big ol pile of jumps real fast
If you couldnt make that board turn then there were other reasons to be looked at other than board shapes...
Some of the larger evos were VERY sweet too - although they were very sensitive to mast track positioning - if you got it right - amazing - a little too far back or forward and they pushed water - my Nude chopper 90 has a bit of that going on too.
Some of the crew that had the Evos didnt rate them for planing - which i think was lack of tuning / lack of info from manufacturer
i suspect the tuning message could have been communicated a little more effectively at the time.

The 100L Evo xtv is a great board as long as the waves are smooth and you know how to weight a rail with your front foot. There is no secret to using one. I think most heavy guys are just heavy footed and a bit clumsy. That said, I hope my new (second hand) 99L Chopper is even better.
Wrong section but I thought I would share the new rrd inflatable sup
(comes with handy helpers to inflate and deflate...)
