You were lucky with the wind! It would have been a great day.

Thanks for hosting this Remi. Though I did not try out any of the gear on demo I appreciate the effort involved. Also your post motivated me to get down there. I didn't expect it to get very windy as it was cloudy and overcast around midday up at Hornsby.

The boards looked really beautiful.

The Exocet 100 was the bomb.

I've never sailed a slalom board before and I regret not buying one years ago now. Might have to find room for one after today's ride. Accelerates like just wow; you need to get in the straps fast. Gybes beautifully. All-in-all an easy board to sail too. I was expecting something technical but it was a complete blast. It even dried my hair.

Is the 100 the little purple board?

I'm sure the slalom gear is mostly about what's not there; drag and weight. Flat rocker. What does the Exocet weigh? 1Kg? It nearly blew away when I picked it up.

The select Viper 37 that I guess comes with(?) was excellent too. Only lost grip once when I was pushing hard upwind, and it recovered immediately. Fitted nicely with a 6.6.

Sheet in and really, really go. I've been dickin' around on FreeRace gear too long. Anyone thinking of making a jump just do it. Would go nicely with a GPS.


Very tempted, but I'll be on my FSWave single board solution for this season at least. Plus I'm not sure all that aviation fuel hasn't made me a bit ill today.

(BTW: Sail was a loaned HSM Speeddemon. Props to Jonathon but I don't want to steal this thread. Should have seen his face when I ever so slowly started catching him on his iSonic, he thought I was still on my FSWave board.)

Nice to meet a few unfamiliar faces too yesterday. It's like radio I guess; I imagined you all very different.

Glad you enjoyed the board. The fin, a Select Vmax 37, does not come with the board. The slalom boards are not sold with a fin.

BUT Evil does bear a resemblance [}:)]
