bought isonic 76 today, 2008 i think.
used today for first time, winds 15/25 knots with 5.0m vapor+lots downhaul.

cost $1200 2nd hand, hardly used.

tried with 28cm carbon fin ,was overpowered in occasional gust.front foot was coming out of strap a little. switched to 25cm fin, much smoother ride solved the problem too.

board is a gem.

good bottomend, extremely fast topend + very smooth ride.

sits a good bit lower in water than f2 sx 80litres, but feels faster.

only problem my favourite 25cm fin feels a bit small, unless 18+ knots.

a great board for lightweights in 15/25.

in stronger i prefer a even smaller board.

if you get the chance buy one.
