Thanks! More on Windsurfing Western Australia fb page, go and check them out as Matt H was on fire that day!
its nice to be on the other side of the camera for once!
nice shooting Premo - great zoom with no tripod. I suspect you are using some quality bodies and fast lenses!
Good photos!
Was a nice session, apart from the massive amounts of seaweed, didn't help I was riding a quad I guess.
Hey Greenie,
Nope, that's the 87 Wood.
Wind was pretty erratic and I went from the 5.2 to the 5.6 and was able to squirt around pretty well. I generally hate riding 80+ liter boards and struggle to turn them, but I found this thing turns pretty well. I am either getting used to wider boards because of all the SUP riding I am doing or the shapes are just getting better because they just don't feel so big in the turn.
I did not seem to have any issue with the weed as many others did, I was running 140's in the rear and 95's in the front and not once got a snag. It seems guys with more upright MFC fins or larger twins where having issues.
This board was so good is sailed by itself 
Cheers,
Marco
SUPs make you realise that a little extra volume brings alot of benefits - with very little downside.
Everyone i have seen sailing on the Quad 87 has been ripping - and planing up early too.
And by ripping i mean getting vert airs, vert off the bottom turns - which is a great indication of drive - and really nice pocket turns. Not just drifting around on the shoulder. The board seems to make people hunt down sections and get up and under the lip.
That is a very good sign in a board.
Having said that i am absolutely in love with my Nuevo 80 - but that is more of a windy option for my 87 kegs
