Just in time for the wind to drop off, your new board has arrived at the Kitesurf Wales, wind surf shop Al. Typical hey. It looks sweet mind, Ill pop it over tommorow.
Woohoo.. At least I'll have something to look at on those long windless days ahead of us!!

So how are you finding it??!! Have had a go on 105 and 125 Hypersonics which are also really short but didn't really have enough time to get used to them; felt pretty weird!
I've popsted a fair bit about it in the diaries I think.... First sesion on it was just lovely... Well powered with a 5m and the board
just flew. Super fast, super manouverable and it just seemed to work. It is certainly chort (214cm), but nowhere near as wide as the
Hypersonics at 59cm, compared to around 77cm for the Hypersonic. It also has a fairly narrow tail.
I find it fairly difficult to get going but once on the plane it is lovely. You don't really notice the lack of length at all. It isn't
much fun when underpowered, but then nor are many small boards. It feels really sweet on a wave as well, but so far I've only tried in
NW's so there hasn't been any proper waves to play with, just a few little lumps ere and there.
I might take my Mostral Heat to the beach tomorrow as well as the Freewave so that I can try them head to head.
