Here is a film including Starboard US 147 and also some comments at the bottom of the site.
I got my US 147 one week ago, waiting for wind...

Hi MOP,

Still no wind for the US147 ?
We are all dying to read your comments.

MOP · 28th April 2011, 06:58 PM

No.
Warm weather , cold water but still no thermic effekt. Strange...

I'm the guy who made the video that MOP posted. Absolutely loved the UltraSonic 147. Lots nicer feel than the JP SLW, which I thought was under-finned and not particularly fast or comfortable. The biggest sail I used on the UltraSonic was an 8.5, but I think it would be fine with a 10 or 11. Also tons of fun with a 7.5. Very capable upwind and driving off the fin, but still smooth and fast on a reach like a slalom / freeride board.

Hi James,

I don't see any US147 in action on your video's or am I mistaken ?

It's nice to hear that the US147 is also still fun with relatively small sails like 8.5 and 7.5.

It makes me wonder if I should change in the future my 4-board quiver for a 3-board quiver, i.e.

replace the IS87/IS101/IS122/F161 combination by the following combination IS87/IS107/IS147.

After all, it's 1 board less and probably the same fun.

All the best

The video with the US147 is here: http://vimeo.com/21717392

I only have a little bit of footage of it, unfortunately.

Last weekend, I've seen the US147 (carbon version) for the first time live in action.
The guy was using it in 17-24 knot conditions with a 6.x m2.
He said that even in these conditions the board is very stable (no flying off the water).
I hope I can borrow it once and try it with a 10+ sail.

Do you know if he used a much smaller fin than the 58 cm coming with this board sailing this board in those conditions??
