Evo 6.4, i will use the recommended mast. The 5.4 i will use the recommended RDM 400 and try an RDM 370. Will report back when i use them.
lost my pryde years ago
Well i had a brief 20min sailing yesterday on the EVO5 6.4. Can't comment too much but first impressions:
-Huge camber improvement, very smooth rotation.
-Sail feels very light and stable.
- And pleanty of power
Anyway will go into more details ect, with a longer session. Bursting to try my 5.4 now!!
The 5.0 retails for the equivalent of A$1061 in Sth Africa but you can get 10% of that with pre-order but don't hold your breath about getting them for that here. Bought a book last week for $30 that had a UK price of 9.90 pounds printed on the back cover (A$15.00) and don't get me started about cars that are 2/3 to 1/2 price overseas.
Still, they do look nice whatever the cost.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm one short
, i was packed and ready to go on tuesday, after screwing the back strap into my board i found the front back screw plugs were to wide so stuck my tail between my legs and stayed home 
Anybody willing to share their (speed)rigging thoughts/experience regarding EVO5?
Last year the NP-logo was a good indicator when downhauling (wrinkle in the middle/top of the logo was usually a good trim).
Here are some of my thoughts so far on the EVO5's.
This years sails are definatly more refined than last year. Which i thought was one of their best yet. The EVO5's have a faint feeling of the older EVO2 with the power it has, for its size.
What im very impressed with this years is the power. So far the conditions that have been thrown at me on the water. They have delt with, with ease. The most first thing that i noticed was how bloody light they feel in the hands. They just keep pulling down wind which i like alot. They're alot different than pervious year though if you look closly at them. The leach twists off but its more gradual and a steady drop away. Also it looks like the leach starts a panel up (dropping off) higher up than before.
After many KM's, i recommend the correct mast. Weather it be the X65 or X100 masts. NP Are currently working on an even more refined mast, so it maybe worth the wait, if you plan on buying a few.
@keef, so far dad has been using the X100RDM 370 mast in his 5.4 and i have been using the X65RDM 370 mast. Note cams are RDM size. They basically still rig identical. Its hard to tell the difference on the water as we have both been neck and neck (number wise) Futher testing and reveiw will follow when we get the wind
Anyway if anyone plans on getting them rig them to the specs and then do gradual adjustmets to find out whats best. Only change minimal things at a time.
Hope these are a worthwhile investment :) Thanks to those that gave me advice.
Cheers

Had a 15 minute go today of a Evo 5 in 15-20 knots on a 100 litre Patrik with a 36cm rocket fin.
Was struggling to sail thru the lulls on my 6.3M warp but this sail was hugely impressive thru the lulls. Was twisted down to 4th batten down,had lots of camber low-down in the sail. Rotation was suprisingly good,around 7 out of 10.
Does the 7m feel a lot bigger?
