A nice Northly today but nothing too strong , was hopeing that forecast would fulfill a good 25 to 30kts but that was not the case , man its been a while !!!!

First time on the Mistral speed 55 and it rides just like the 68 , handles the chop so freakin well , no fear what so ever ...

Super flighty on the tail in total control , even tried pushing it through the hard stuff and not a problem what so ever ...

Its a shame the tide wasnt lower at the time dueo the swells start to widen and very less chop i reakon better times were to be had but still happy at a good full tide today of how the board preforms in nasty stuff ..

all runs were made in the middle of the bay , the sand bank did not work well today too gusty.....

Later on as the tide got lower the water state got much better but there were only few puffs here and there and couldnt really dial in due to fatigue so had to quite...

Had some fin problems due to the fins being a bit too soft so really couldnt nail it how i wanted too , so i guess i'll have too look for some stiffer fins ...

Went for one NM run today and paid off but if i had a stiffer fin in could have cranked it even more dammmm.....and still stopped a bit short , just about the whole run was sitting on 33 to 34 kts but cant complain for first time on the board  ...

Good onya slowboat a well designed board looking forward to the smaller one when it nukes...

Mistarl speed 55 , EVO IV 7.0 , SL-S 28 , 30....

Great sail on the new speed board, best speeds were through the middle as off the wind along the bank didn't feel that powered up. Board is great in the chop very unexpected.

IS speed 54, Slingshot 25, 6.2 NP
