I would guess that not many (if anyone) would have tried out a 2012 but what are the earlier years like? Either a 86 or 87L as I imagine they would be similar.
Hey Jeffro, I had the 2008 i86 and really loved it, very enjoyable to ride, handled chop very well and gybed great. Would recommend it. Could only think that the latter models would be just as good or better. I've only moved away from slalom boards as I sail in open bay conditions most of the time now.
Best high wind slalom board ever (my experience is limited),I'm onto my second one a 2010 the 09 model I had for a couple of years but delaminated after many ks of sailing . I like the extra lenght these boards have compared to some of the others out there especially in the ocean .They gybe nicely ,and are quick( 37+knts )
