Neil's boards go upwind and downwind at awesome angles with a 27cm weed fin
I've ordered an ocean version to downwind on weedy days - frothing

Gusty 15 knots, 6.5m sail

Yes that's what i try to do with my new home build. Neil's boards and also Lorch classics line are my inspiration. Best board i try for me on my light gusty wind lake was an old ahd diamond race 72. Long, moderate scoop, not to wide plenty of volume. Back to the future.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought I was looking at an old raceboard. (Probably because I spent the weekend on one.) Enjoyed the video.

Very close to a Bic Techno 283 except the weight. I've got one, and it's a great flat water board.

From what i see not so close, lower scoop, wider front part i bet further ahead wide point, so better glide for planning, better upwind. I had techno 283 too many good time on.
