Was on my 2104 97 carbon today in 12-18 knots with a 6.6m.
Thought I'd try my 34cm Techtronic Maui F1 Falcon fin on the 97 for the first time.
Previously tried it with my 87 Sonic with a 5.5m and hated it!
Today however with the sail rigged with only moderate downhaul on a bigger board it felt pretty awesome!
Crazy smooth with a very neutral trim.
It trimmed the board a bit like the new G10 Vector Volt fins but with an even softer feel.
The wide base of this fin sort of holds the board down while the soft mid and tip section produces that free ride board feel..
Looking forward to trying this fin out in 20-25 knots with my 97 and 6.6 - the added smoothness and very neutral trim should work great in the stronger conditions.
Owners of the new 90 litre Sonic - reckon the 32 and 34 sizes could be a perfect match with sails around the 6.3 to 7m range.
I know the release dates are getting earlier and earlier, but 2104 is out already? That's ridiculous!
