WHAT WE LIKED: “Glided onto a plane easily when powered,” said one tester. “Bridged the gap from light wind to high wind with ease and comfort,” mentioned another. Props for stability, handling and jibing fun factors.

BUYER BEWARE: Veteran testers found its ride unremarkable; one tester had complaints about upwind ability.

BETTER THAN THE FLEET AT: Getting big smiles from intermediate testers; giving first-time shortboarders the feel of highperformance windsurfing without a scare.

BEST SUITS: A great pick for shortboard newbies and for averagesize sailors looking for a dependable back-and-forth blaster that jibes like a smaller board.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Tail cutouts for better performance at top-end speeds; comfortable straps and pads.
