Bah.
I personally own or owned 5 of those 'non Cobra' boards. Finish on my '08 sample is very light, but never gave any problem. '09 and '10 samples are superbly finished, but at the cost of some...

My advice is very simple: before purchasing a new carbon boom, be sure to have a good look at a Maui Sails carbon boom.
The 190-240 is quite heavy, but it's super stiff.The relatively high weight...

Hi,
take into account that race/slalom rigs have become much much easier to use (rig, tune, sail...) than they used to be. In my view, as long as flat water sailing is concerned, there is NO reason...

I owned a Sonic95 and have to agree, great range for freeesailing but limited 'competitive' range. It felt great on 7.0, but not enough 'powerful' to hold a 7.6, and I am sure a 6.6 will go already...

Glad to see there still is some ethics in a big money driven 'sport' like F1, really a very good news in my view. And yes, (yet another) big moral defy for politics such as GWB and TB, to the eyes of...

If they still offer the "special" warranty on their masts, meaning it's 6 months instead of 24, then I consider that as an implicit admission of inadequate reliability.

Hi Michal,
IF you are looking for high wind stability, then the eventual difficulties in waterstarting are supposed to be a cheap tradeoff for full camber performances. Plus in my experience one...

To me it's always a matter of gains and costs.
Indeed the ability to "automatically" spill out excessive pressure is a desirable gain. Stabilizing the front part of the profile, I am not sure as it...

I used to sail similar boards. RRD 281 in '97 - '98 and RRD 278 from '99 to '05. I assume your board is somewhat the like and advice accordingly.

As for your iSonics, indeed having the weight back helps a lot, and the scooped deck should add some to stiffness too.

One should also consider which sails are to be used with the board. My guess is iSonic is better with Warps and RS:Rs, Manta with Vapors and TR's.
