its a 90 OES twin; was about 8-15kts, i am 90kg.
is a 120 version for lighter winds/heavier guys.
has same features- fast bottom to get speed down the line, wide tail pops onto plane early, twin fins give looseness with control - gopro footage really shows how you spot a section and hit it on these boards but dont sacrifice any speed.
Is a quad version where you can blank off outside fins, just drop em in for upwind ability in onshores and a bit more bite when its going sick; on day like the video, run it as a twin

Good going to get a wave sail in those light winds! Thanks for the tech info Maris, definitely considering a higher volume waveboard for Middleton.

No worries Blasta happy to help- only taken me 25+yrs to get place half sorted! still get beaten up plenty- thats why i keep coming back.
wind direction as important as strength when selecting board at dayst. cross shore westerlies a lot steadier so can ride smaller board, with more offshore days a bigger board helps you get off the beach and thru the impact zone easily. the vid had a fair bit of X in it so smaller board (90) ok. true for most wave spots

The recent game changer IMO is the wave riding ability of the big twins. A big board isnt a dog on a wave anymore.
They give next to nothing away to your 70L waveslayer waveriding and are far superior in cruising out, catching waves etc. Unless your name is Levi most will be exhausted getting a 70 out the back anyway when its Xoff which is exactly when the waves are best. this is especially true in SA where our sailing is sporadic and most dont carry the sailing fitness of WA/Hawaii
result is far more fun, time on the water and harder charging.
