JP-Australia 2009 X-Cite Ride 160


• WHAT WE LIKED: Solid, predictable performance that's accessible for any-level sailor. One tester remarked that it's a “pleasure to hook in and feel absolutely confident.” Solid performance from the 52 cm fin.
• BUYER BEWARE: More-aggressive sailors thought the board lacked a little pep; one tester complained about not being able to get feet in the straps while wearing booties.
• BETTER THAN THE FLEET AT: Getting first-time shortboarders to feel like real windsurfers; inspiring sailor confidence when sending it deep downwind. One tester said it offered “sail-all-day comfort.”
• BEST SUITS: Intermediates who seek comfort and flotation without giving up any excitement on their ride.
• OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Durable epoxy-sandwich construction available.
