Best Windsurf Board For Control: |

Fanatic Freewave 85 Windsurf Board |
|
The super-lightweight Fanatic Freewave 85 windsurfing board is a freestyler’s dream in a wave-friendly windsurf board, offering a relatively low planing threshold, plenty of speed and a lively, responsive ride that reacts to the most minute rider inputs — something both skilled sailors and wave-board newbies really liked.

Exocet 3X 82 Windsurf Board |
| The Exocet 3X 82 windsurfing board offers the advantages of a multi-fin ride without the “Why the hell did THAT happen?” face. Full Exocet 3X 82 Windsurf Board Review |
How we test for controlOne of the more qualitative values we test for is the board’s “control” factor. This comes well after everyone has ridden every board in the fleet and decided which boards let them feel most comfortable and in command — while still having fun. |
Trade-offsFreestyle-friendly shape won’t suit the wave-riding purist — but it’s a great solution for the real-world wave sailor. |

how about testing a mikes lab board.

ROBERTS!
The reason we don't test boards from Mike or Rob is that they are basically customs. You can't walk into a shop and get one - there's a waiting period involved, and it's most practical for a small portion of the windsurfing community - like those of you who are lucky enough to live in San Francisco.
