Hi Felix,
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm about 6.4 feet and I weight about 170 pound. I ride in conditions with windwaves from 3 till 7 feet. I would like to know the difference from the boards concerning the concaves. I understood that one board has one and the other double concaves. What is the difference about the stearing and planing of the board.
Thanks.

The board is awesome planes super easy - gets upwind like a rocket the tail comes in and tappers out so you can still throw some nice hacks.
Board has the thickness to get you thru the light spots
It has a 3-4 or 5 fin combo
I rode it as a Tri today worked super well
By far it is the best light wind board I have used.
Super fun and still gives so much true performance
You will not be disappointed with this model hands down. I would go for this over the 6'0 as it bring so much versatility to the table
Enjoy your new stick when you get it.
Really amped on this board and I'm sure you will be too.

Hi Guys,
Like Peter I am living in the Netherlands as wel, 80kg and 1.90m (like Peter) and surf the same (wind created) waves. We need to follow our kites to gain power in the bottom turn en mostly for the cutback as well. If you need to pick just one board for light (16knts) and heavy wind (30+knts), what would be the best?
Cheers, Jasper

The board has thickness thru the middle and comes in at the tail giving you great wind range and float with a really lively board.
Enjoy
You wont be disappointed.

hi, jasper and peter.
I live in belgium and got the 6.0 for 6 months now. It is a great board for the waves in kijkduin, de slufter, ouddorp. When the waves are small i use its in a quad setup, and when it's big and superwindy thruster. The finchoice is olso important. If you want tho try it, you let me now.
greats nick
Which fins do you recommend? I also kite at exactly those places in Holland. Just bought a Hellfire 5'6.Quote:
