Looks like you had the float to take some long wave-aided jibes though, that looked fun.<br /><br />THe speed of the big boards on flat water looks amazing, especially looking via a wide-angle lens - but do you get bored after a bit, or is there enough drag racing and using testers-as-jibe-marks to keep it interesting? <br /><br />Its amuzing that some of the board manufacturers are naming their boards after their width instead of their volume ;-) Sounds so much more impressive if you can say you sailed your 76 instead of sailed your 145.Morleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518986214163605913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-22362618635824244832011-03-31T13:07:46.044-07:002011-03-31T13:07:46.044-07:00Boardsurfr- You're gonna love it.

Let me know if you're headed for the East Coast. <br /><br />Brian- The water depth varies a lot with the wind. The longest-finned boards in our test have 56 - 58 cm fins, and we have to walk a long way out with them, especially when the wind is from the East.James Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380226220764974087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-83524203035722858702011-03-31T12:38:13.374-07:002011-03-31T12:38:13.374-07:00Awesome stuff, James!
