Just taken delivery of the new V2 Bullet 17 x 28
Pics attached for those interested in the new FAST system.
Its definitely a great looking board and feels lighter than my V1?
I'll update the performance aspect once I manage to get on the water for a downwind ASAP 
Wow - looks great.
It's good that they are putting the model on the tail because SIC boards can get pretty confusing with all the different versions.
Shame that the traditional SIC handle has been replaced by a more usual one, but I guess that with the rudder mech there isn't much deck room to have a large handle maybe?
Absolutely gorgeous board. You are very lucky.
Looks the goods AF. Looking forward to reading about your first downwind run on this weapon.
Wow, very nice.
A10, as far as I know the big boards never got the big handle, only the little ledge one.
But you do get the forward leggie point and the back loop to carry the board with your paddle for any serious lifting.
Good to see those details return, and the storage shock cord.
Keto, what's on the foredeck? GPS training thing?
Lovely looking board.
Very, very, very nice. Glad to see that SIC is finally shipping the FAST boards. I had ordered a 17 V1 FAST last year then they postponed delivery.. So I'm guessing that I'll finally see it sometime in the new year.. Can't wait after seeing yours Keto! Congrats, and thanks for sharing. BTW, care to comment on the lockable/fixed fin setup? Also, I'm still a bit baffled by the volume difference between the V1and V2, given that the V2 is an inch and a half wider... Is it that much thinner, or maybe the 4" reduction in length combined with the thinned out pointy nose is the reason...
Keto,
where did you get the Velocitek Makai?
Locally, or did you have to import?
Have been contemplating one of these or a Garmin watch.
Recommendations?
Re handle - my F16 has a very, very shallow hand grip, so I usually use the paddle loops.
However for car-topping etc you may need the central handle.
I stuck an off-cut of deck grip (had plenty from sailing applications) inside the top edge (both sides) of the handle.
It only needs to be about 15mm wide - wide enough to get some grip for your fingers, but not so wide that it stops the end of your fingers hooking under the bottom edge.
PS - obligatory "Ooooh, Aaaaaaah!!"
That is a very nice board. No doubt about it...
Hope you enjoy it as much as it looks good.
Great vid. - love the shots of the nose going under.
Would like some of the sun and temperature over here at the moment.
Would like some of the skill too!
Yowza! 
- good work Keto. Cool to see that you really don't have to step back a lot. Makes it easier to keep your foot closer to the tiller. Thanks again for sharing.
Great to see that awesome SIC handle making an appearance on the 17'4" with FAST system
How is your Bullet 17 V2 in short period waves? Is it too long to "fit". I am considering picking up the F16 or the 17' Bullet V2. But I am nervous that it won't "fit" some of our conditions.
