First time out on the 'new' DW board I bought off of Windoc. What a great session! I was a bit worried how it would go with such a narrow board but I think it's even easier than the typical boards! I start sideways on my knees as I've never really used/practiced the stink bug but it was really quite easy. The fore/aft stability makes a big difference as Greg points out in his Omen vids. Great performance once up and soon I was connecting turns. Went down to to the mouth of baynes channel to buzz my friend Juergen in his 110' sailing yacht as he came through, then back up to the ramp to end the session just as the wind dropped. OP'd for much of the time on the 5m but I had the smaller 980 foil so going DW and upwind made it manageable and fast. There even was a small swell coming from the south to get some rides on at various times. A perfectly timed hour of fun rides! Thanks again for the board Chris!
