Sailed it twice now (not mine borrowed) it's a sweet board goes up wind really well and with the standard 16cm fins on it which I thought would be a lot of fin area for a freestyle board I didn't expect it to spin very well but it is easier to slide than my 2008 freestyle board with 18cm fin on it. I do think it is a bit more of a powered up board though likes going in to things with speed. I also really want to try it in some waves because i think it will be a great jumping and freestyle wave board. 7cm shorter than last years model to which you really notice.
