Hello Pete…Just wanted to let you know that I have completed the Gorge test for the 2010 XWave 75 litre board. I wanted to ride the board for the season in the Gorge before I reported! I can honestly say that I have never riden a better all around board since I began sailing 25 years ago. All production boards, and I mean the few I have tried, can not stack up to qualiity, durability, and overall sailability of this board! I weigh 185lbs and was able to sail a 5.2 down to a 3.2 with this board with no issues whatsoever. As I told you before, the balance and weigh distribution is perfect. Early planing, quickness, and a loseness is what I look for in the performance areas and it excells. As far as durability(something that took the entire season of total abuse and use) the board is still as solid as the day I got it.

. It has assured me that I will continue riding OES boards. Why would anyone buy a production board when they can own one of these Custom boards for the same price is beyond me.. You have outdone yourself with the 2010’s! Thanks for still doing it right! Will talk to you soon..Skip
