Vote 1 from me Sonic 85
Vote 2 Falcon 91

Seen both of these work and work well, these are my far and away 1 & 2.

Then Turbo Boost 58 or if you can go down a little in volume Warp speed [}:)]

I imagine the thommen should work well, hybrid hasnt really impressed me.

Hi super, I agree with MK. also , if you're light, opt for the smaller or narrower or lower volume.

Susan the Turbo Boost 58,Sonic 85, Falcon 91 and Thommen SR56 are all great boards, For me I would pick the Exocet Turbo Boost.
The Double density shock absorbers on the Turbo lets you motor through the chop at speed with ease and jibes like a dream.
I have the Exocet Scross with the same feature and its fantastic through the chop.You wont be disappointed.

I agree with Mk on the Hybrd.
Hope this helps ta Vando

Cough exocet cough sponsored cough cough

Seriously though the bigger TB's work well but i'd still go 1 or 2.

Sonic is narrower 56.5 vs 61, 85L vs 91L, both same length, bit more even volume distribution on the sonic, both go damn fast. Sonic is sexy, falcon looks good.

Hey superchickie
it depends on how big you are and where you want to sail in what conditions. the JP's are great as they have a narrow tail which s rare in most slalom boards and it has most of its volume in its thicknes not width, in saying that if you want a light wind slalom go the fanatic
