Thanks so much for this feedback. I'm getting somewhere now!

I definitely sail in winds not always that consistent. Also, having the possibility of using 5.9 on both boards is really important to me because it gives you heaps of flexibility when wind/conditions change. I'll check out the Kode 86. Interesting what you mentioned the wider tail in comparison with the Acid. Hopefully I can find second hand ones. Is the Kode the follow up of the Kombat 08? Cheers, Job
