What do you think?
Will it work with a NP hornet 7.2 sail on this old board?
I have not so Much Experience with new sails on old boards yet:)

Since your board is more solemn oriented, it may handle that larger sail, but what concerns me is the lack of liters the board has. If you already have the sail, give it a try, if it's too much sail for the board, then you can down size. Keep us in the loop.

The board was a bit to small for me because I still have to uphall The sail. IT ended in "The Walk of Shame... " . To Day IT was most fun riding my friends board. A 2016 mod Tabou Rocket ltd 118 ltr. I think I have to get one my self. Thats The fastest board I ever tried. I was planning right away with 4.9 sail and it was still possible to uphall The sail.

Actually, it was 108 liters. The thick rails from the flat deck made it much floatier than it's size competitors, the Screamers and Axis 278's, which were a true just over 100 liter board. This was the replacement for the Adagio, a longer but narrower board that never caught on.
E-Rocks were competitive up to the highest levels, up to 1993, including against EnergyXR's, HyperTeks, and all those custom slalom boards like Roberts, Roque Wave, Preister etc. but needed the footstraps moved back and a Tuttle finbox installed. The dark purple models weighed less than 14 lbs., if you picked a light one, and two different rider's made finals of Stroh's World Cup in slalom in San Francisco back in those days.
Very fast LIGHT wind board for sails in the 5.5-7 meter range and flatter waters.

Congratulations on your new board, I am sure you will enjoy many sessions on it.
