OVERALL SUMMARY

Positives

* Easy to tune/trim

* Fast and safe downwind (probably due to the new nose and slightly deeper cutouts)

* Powerful tail shape allows use of more sail area and bigger fins in higher winds

* Quality construction and materials (although I’ve only owned the board for 3 weeks! - touch wood!)

* Rails easily upwind and trims very straight (no pitching or side-to-side cantering) with the correct settings used

* Gybes very easily

Negatives

* Full carbon might not be as resistant to heel/foot dents as the pine-wood on Starboard boards

* The name is the SAME as the Gaastra sails (c’mon guys, think of something NEW!)

* Slightly more sharp deck rails than the Starboards - may be a little harsher on your feet on the first ride

* Could’ve been slightly lighter considering the full-carbon construction
